Layer 1 · Intelligence

Turning the record into judgement.

This is the brain. It takes the complete, tagged record of your work and decides what it means — what's most valuable, what's drifting, and what was said but never done.

A ranked list, with reasons

Every objective you set becomes a lens. Work is ranked against those goals — not by due date — and each placing comes with a defensible “here's why it's here.”

The value reasoner

It combines your goals, real urgency, and how you actually behave (what you finish, what you keep deferring) into a transparent score — then writes the reasoning in plain language. You can interrogate any placing and push back.

Today's priorities
Coastal Rail — commercial model sign-off
On the critical path to the June launch; quiet for 11 days.
Northgate capping rules — revised draft
Promised Friday in today's workshop; not yet started.
Meadowvale review
Lower value, but deferred twice — decide or drop.

The anticipation engine

A set of small, named patterns runs over your record on a schedule — a hard deadline with no time set aside, something deferred twice, a live project gone quiet, a goal with nothing moving toward it. When one fires, it surfaces a single, well-phrased prompt. The rules decide when; the system phrases the nudge.

Anticipation
!
You've set “grow the advisory book” as a goal this quarter — but there are no live tasks pointing at it. Worth ten minutes to put one in?

The capabilities in this layer

Goals model

Short, medium and long-term objectives per area — the backbone everything is ranked and measured against.

Live

Value reasoner

A transparent score plus a written rationale; a cross-area order you can question.

Live

Anticipation engine

Named patterns that catch risk before it bites — slips, quiet projects, goals with no path.

Live

Reconciliation

Matches what was said in meetings against what's tracked, and proposes the gap as tasks.

Live

Vault synthesis

Pulling years of notes into pre-meeting briefs and spotting recurring themes that never became work.
