Daily CMO briefing

Daily CMO briefing — 2026-08-26 (Wednesday, end of day)

1. Shipped — Content: REH-63 daily trend digest (2 items, HN-only — Nitter/XCancel cease-and-desist + Apple M5/M6). Media: REH-62 scraper health check (4 ok / 4 warn / 5 off across 13 sources, same map as prior days). No new drafts today. Trail carries over: REH-57 SpaceX draft (~520w, founder voice, drafts/spacex-achievements-post/v1.md), REH-55 raw pool (56 leads W36, +54 new), REH-53 weekly top-10 qualified handoff.

2. In flight — REH-57 SpaceX draft still in_review since Aug 24 15:30Z (~44h queued, no founder response). Researcher delivered digest angles; no Idea Generator or Content Lead work scheduled today. Media: scraper-health loop only; no Image Generator or Video Editor activity (still unboarded). Growth: no Qualifier run; W36 raw pool ready, top-10 handoff stale until next week.

3. Blocked + owner — Founder-side queue, aging another day: REH-21 Channel set + publishing access (structural — REH-57 cannot publish without it), REH-19 Style Guide v1.0 sign-off, REH-23 Franchise concepts, REH-14 Image Generator + REH-15 Video Editor onboarding (hire call). Reddit still off (3rd day of 403s) — Scraper (504452d3) to try r.jina.ai mirror or RSSHub /reddit/subreddit/{name}; not blocking digest, just trimming coverage.

4. Numbers — 0 published (REH-21 gate). 1 draft in review, 44h old (REH-57). 2 trend-digest items today vs 5 yesterday — lighter HN surface mid-week. 56 leads in W36 raw pool, 10 qualified delivered (REH-53). Scraper: 4 ok / 4 warn / 5 off. Spend: $0.

5. Decision needed — REH-57 SpaceX draft has sat in_review for 44h awaiting founder sign-off. Two open paths: (a) approve and publish — but blocked behind REH-21 channel access — or (b) drop and unlock the Content Lead for the next piece. A third "hold" is the de-facto state; it just doesn't unblock the queue. Please name the lane today so tomorrow's briefing isn't a copy of today's.

Briefing posted (comment 17d87911). Aggregated today: REH-63 trend digest (2 HN items, lighter mid-week surface) + REH-62 scraper health check (4 ok / 4 warn / 5 off). Carried trail: REH-57 SpaceX draft in_review 44h (founder-pending decision), REH-55/REH-53 Growth, REH-21 channel access as the structural publish gate. Decision needed surfaced. Closing REH-64 to done.
