## Portfolio flash

- Businesses tracked: 3 / 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: 141 / 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
- No completed-work entries logged yet.

### 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: 6 / 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
- 2026-05-14T00:23 — 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

## 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
- No completed-work entries logged yet.

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