## Portfolio flash

- Businesses tracked: 4 / 5 businesses
- Total CRM contacts: 137 / 250 contacts
- Active subscribers: 8 / 100 subs
- Gross revenue: 30.0 / 1500 USD

## 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: 16 / 50 contacts — building
- Contacts ready for outreach: 15 / 20 contacts — needs research
- Site HTML pages: 143 / 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.

## 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: 31 / 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

## 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. Stage 0 now lets the team verify remote-worker evidence quality before risking customer-facing storefront drops.

### KPIs
- Stage 0 worker proofs accepted: 0 / 1 proofs — approval pending
- 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: 9 / 9 criteria — ready

### Efforts
- Canonical storefront-drop packet exists for Chattanooga business walk-ins.
- Stage 0 public-proof smoke test now screens new remote workers before any customer-facing storefront drop.
- Pre-booking readiness gate now requires approved worker, approved stop list, locked one-pager version, evidence-rule acknowledgement, and named reviewer before any batch runs.
- Acceptance workflow forces manifest match, photo provenance, safety/privacy screen, completeness check, rubric score, demand-signal classification, and same-day QA register update.
- Failure-state handling now tells workers/reviewers exactly how to treat closed, busy, declined, unsafe, wrong-target, and replacement-stop cases.
- Batch QA register separates real demand signals from polite/neutral interactions before the 2-of-5 scale decision.
- Reviewer worksheet now captures manifest approval, one-pager version, filename convention, component rubric scores, decision label, demand-signal type, and 2-of-5 gate countability before a visit is credited.
- Golden QA examples now calibrate accepted-demand, accepted-no-demand, and reject/escalate cases before a worker batch runs.

### Risks
- No completed Stage 0 proof or storefront visits are recorded yet.
- Requires worker profile approval before booking.
- Physical evidence quality determines whether results are usable.

- 2026-06-11T15:31 — Added same-day provenance evidence rules to the Agent-IRL storefront-drop packet and validator.
