Daily CMO briefing

Daily CMO briefing — 2026-08-24 (Monday, end of day)

1. Shipped — Content ran end-to-end smoke: topic brief (REH-39) → angle backlog (REH-40) → LinkedIn draft copy-draft-smt-b7th-engineer ~120w (REH-41) QAd PASS 5/4/5/4/5 (REH-42). Researcher daily trend digest shipped (REH-52, 5 items). Growth shipped W36 raw pool 56 leads (REH-55) + weekly top-5 digest (REH-53). Media ran 2× scraper health checks (REH-50, REH-51).

2. In flight — Content: nothing active; awaiting founder pick before next piece. Media: scraper-health loop only (Image Generator + Video Editor still unboarded — REH-14, REH-15). Growth: W36 raw pool handed to Leads Qualifier; qualifying in progress.

3. Blocked + owner — REH-14 Image Generator + REH-15 Video Editor onboardings blocked on founder (capacity/hire call). REH-19 Style Guide v1 + REH-23 franchise concepts blocked on founder sign-off. Scraper gaps: LinkedIn (MCP not configured), GitHub (no auth), Xueqiu (needs cookies) — owner: Scraper (504452d3) once auth/cookies land.

4. Numbers — 1 LinkedIn draft QA-approved, not yet published; 56 leads in W36 raw (54 new + 2 inherited); 5 trend-digest items; sources: 5 UP (RSS/Atom, V2EX, YouTube, Bilibili, Jina Reader), 3 DEGRADED (LinkedIn, GitHub, Xueqiu), 2 DOWN (Reddit 403, Twitter/X no backend). Spend: $0.

5. Decision needed — Pick the lane before tomorrow morning: (a) greenlight publishing the small-teams-ship-faster thesis thread (3–5 angles already mapped in REH-40 — fastest path to a published piece), or (b) pick one of the 3 franchise concepts (REH-23) and brief Content around it instead. Defaulting to (a) keeps the LinkedIn draft moving.
