## Portfolio flash

- Businesses tracked: 4 / 5 businesses
- Total CRM contacts: 132 / 250 contacts
- Active subscribers: 8 / 100 subs
- Gross revenue: 30.0 / 1500 USD
- Real Task Agents replies: 0 / 5 replies

## Noog Weekly

**Mission:** Build the Chattanooga business-owner interview newsletter and local business discovery surface: useful stories first, sponsor/subscriber growth second.

**Stage:** live but operating cadence needs restart

**Flash:** Site and subscriber plumbing are alive; operating gap is cadence, not infrastructure.

### KPIs
- Active subscribers: 8 / 100 subs — early
- Gross revenue: 30.0 / 1000 USD — stripe
- Published interview posts: 4 / 12 posts — building
- Interview CRM contacts: 11 / 50 contacts — building
- Contacts ready for outreach: 10 / 20 contacts — needs research
- Site HTML pages: 142 / 150 pages — building

### Efforts
- Public Cloudflare Pages site is live with business-owner interview positioning.
- Subscriber capture and unsubscribe-aware Resend path are configured in production health.
- Business/interview CRM has been moved into SQLite for reporting and next-action queries.
- Weekly CEO report automation exists, but daily discovery/draft/publish jobs are not currently active.

### Risks
- Newsletter production cadence is not active in cron.
- Interview pipeline has 10 contacts needing better owner/contact research before outreach.
- Public site has more SEO/local pages than fresh weekly issues; needs editorial cadence restored.

### Completed work
- 2026-05-17T03:43 — Changed Project OS mobile navigation from a top horizontal date rail to a slide-out left-hand daily-entry nav with hamburger trigger, backdrop close, Escape close, and date-click auto-close.
- 2026-05-17T03:23 — Combined Project OS with the CEO reporting cadence: added daily journal email dispatch tooling, Project OS dispatch rows, weekly CEO special-entry logging, and scheduled the daily email job.
- 2026-05-17T03:13 — Made Project OS mobile-friendly: converted the phone layout to single-column, horizontal date navigation, stacked database rows, wrapped long source paths, and kept graph/sidebar usable below the main entry.
- 2026-05-17T03:09 — Moved Project OS to irislabs.dev, added real-source audit with source fingerprints, excluded self-generated Project OS reports from ingestion, and updated nightly deploy verification for Iris + Noog.
- 2026-05-17T02:57 — Fixed Project OS entry interaction: daily work and source-note rows now visibly expand when clicked instead of feeling inert.
- 2026-05-17T02:21 — Reworked Project OS into a Notion-style daily journal: left nav is dates, each date opens daily entries, and project/learning views moved into secondary views.
- 2026-05-17T02:12 — Built Project OS: a Notion-style portfolio state surface with knowledge-graph sidebar, nightly state snapshots, and cross-project learnings.
- 2026-05-16T19:34 — Improved Noog Weekly sponsor revenue page and created a 4-lead draft-only sponsor readiness queue.
- 2026-05-16T13:32 — Fixed archive page bottom subscription UX and cleaned reader next-step links

### Next 7 days
- Restart one weekly issue workflow
- Research 10 Noog contacts to owner-level quality
- Send/test one controlled issue or interview request after review

## Task Agents

**Mission:** Turn bounded AI-agent work into specific, purchaseable/reportable tasks for SMBs, starting with TikTok competitor reports and local marketing analysis.

**Stage:** beta offer live; outbound paused for sender trust and reply quality

**Flash:** Product assets exist; go-to-market is the bottleneck. Do not resume cold volume until sender and first-touch offer are fixed.

### KPIs
- Leads contacted: 121 / 150 leads — running
- Gross revenue: 0.0 / 500 USD — stripe
- Real replies: 0 / 5 replies — blocked
- Bounces: 6 / 0 bounces — watch
- Task pages: 7 / 8 pages — building
- Finished TikTok/video assets: 4 / 8 videos — building

### Efforts
- Standalone product surface is live at https://tasks.irislabs.dev/.
- Task Agents outreach CRM is SQLite-backed with queryable events/messages.
- ElevenLabs-voiced TikTok/social video assets now exist for marketing review.
- Reply monitor is enabled; acquisition autopilot and remaining sends are paused.

### Risks
- 121 contacted with 0 real replies means offer/channel/sender trust needs repair before more volume.
- 56.2% of sent leads were role inboxes, which lowers reply probability.
- Cold-volume outreach remains paused until trust/channel quality improves.

### Completed work
- 2026-05-16T20:33 — Built and deployed an agency/referral beta page for warm-channel Task Agents demand, with homepage and hire-page links.
- 2026-05-16T14:32 — Clarified Task Agents marketplace turnaround labels and aligned homepage proof panel with the 3-agent delivery model.
- 2026-05-14T00:23 — Remade Task Agents TikToks with new Higgsfield Seedance-only source clips, no clip reuse, and packaged review ZIP.
- 2026-05-13T23:56 — Added Board Flash completed-work module and append helper so Task Agents actions leave a one-line visible trail.

### Next 7 days
- Switch to named/direct contacts or physical pilot
- Use real @noogweekly.com sender before any new cold test
- Book/review first physical-world pilot if approved

## Neon Blue

**Mission:** Operate a DTC ad creative strategist: score market/source insights, expose taxonomy gaps, recommend tests, and generate production-ready ad briefs.

**Stage:** MVP live on seeded demo data; needs live market collectors

**Flash:** Neon Blue is a live creative-strategist dashboard, but it is still a demo until one real brand run replaces seeded evidence.

### KPIs
- Dashboard surfaces: 1 / 1 surface — live
- Engine tests: 1 / 1 suite — passing
- Gross revenue: 0.0 / 500 USD — stripe
- Live evidence collectors: 0 / 5 collectors — next
- Real brand analyses: 0 / 1 analyses — not started

### Efforts
- Public dashboard is live at https://dashboard.neonblue.xyz/.
- Creative scoring engine, coverage tracker, gap-test recommendations, and brief renderer are built and tested.
- Current report experience is inspectable, but the evidence layer is seeded demo data.
- Next build needs brand/competitor intake plus Meta Ads Library, TikTok Creative Center, reviews, Reddit, and optional ad-account CSV ingestion.

### Risks
- Seeded data can prove the reporting workflow, but cannot prove buyer value until live collectors are wired in.
- Dashboard is a strong demo surface; it needs one real brand analysis to become a sellable agent.
- No revenue or recurring operating loop is attached yet.

### Completed work
- 2026-05-17T03:58 — Added Neon Blue / dashboard.neonblue.xyz as a first-class Iris Labs system across the homepage, Project OS project registry, Board Flash tracking, completed-work logging, and CEO reporting inputs.

### Next 7 days
- Pick one DTC brand for the first real analysis
- Wire one collector before expanding the data surface
- Package the first output as a paid creative audit

## Agent-IRL Physical Pilots

**Mission:** Validate whether AI can reliably operate low-cost physical-world tasks through humans, starting with evidence-backed Chattanooga business walk-ins.

**Stage:** pilot spec ready; execution pending worker/profile approval

**Flash:** The pilot is designed but not yet field-tested. It belongs in board review because it is the physical-world validation path for Task Agents/Agent-IRL.

### KPIs
- Pilot visits completed: 0 / 5 visits — not started
- Gross revenue: 0.0 / 100 USD — stripe
- Opt-ins/direct contacts: 0 / 2 opt-ins — not started
- Budget target per visit: 5 / 5 USD — defined
- Acceptance criteria defined: 4 / 4 criteria — ready

### Efforts
- Physical pilot spec exists for Chattanooga business walk-ins.
- Acceptance rubric requires storefront evidence, recipient role/reaction, and respectful non-pressure delivery.
- Decision gate is explicit: scale only if at least 2 of 5 visits produce contact/opt-in/explicit send request.

### Risks
- No completed visits are recorded yet.
- Requires worker profile approval before booking.
- Physical evidence quality determines whether results are usable.

### Completed work
- 2026-05-16T21:34 — Sourced 5 approval-ready Chattanooga worker candidates and economics guardrails for the first storefront-drop validation batch.
- 2026-05-16T15:32 — Created approval-ready storefront drop pilot packet with worker script, evidence rubric, QA worksheet, and approval checklist.

### Next 7 days
- Source candidate worker profiles
- Approve one worker
- Run exactly 5 visits and review evidence
