Three ways to turn source material into a useful next step.

Weekly update

A smaller scope.
A clearer Friday.

The checkout update is ready for review. We kept this release focused on confirmation and recovery.

Decided
Ship the confirmation state first. Move account preferences to the next cycle.
Still open
Verify keyboard navigation on the returning-customer screen.
Next week
Review the first support questions and group follow-up work.

Sources: project notes, decisions, next-week priorities.

Choose a workflow to inspect its structure and source requirements.

A clearer process,
with you in control.

What happens when I remove a source?

The linked sentence and its next action disappear from the brief. The source count and missing-context message change with them. Restore all sources brings the complete sample back.

Can I use my own note?

The intake reads Subject, Decision, Owner, and Due fields. It prepares those exact values for the editable handoff, without inventing missing facts. You still review every action before approval.

What does approval do?

It produces a local record containing your edited subject, decision, and owners. That record feeds the message and decision-log previews. Returning to draft keeps your edits.

Will the handoff be sent to anyone?

No. These are frontend workflow examples. Connect your own services, review permissions, and add delivery handling before using the template to send real messages.

The next step should
never be a guessing game.
