### Key technical findings
- Google Slides presentation ID: `1H0gtkiFYcWKWMMbSpYeW2QuMlxSccmW_qYfeYNiNb2E` — accessible via kitt@ token

## CE Approach Page — Build Session (11:00–12:15 UTC)

### What happened
Full structural rewrite of the CE approach page (`/approach/`). Page had been patched multiple times and became incoherent — Brand Strategy was a peer Fig alongside production capabilities, order was wrong, "AI-" prefix repeated across all section headers.

### Team critique (Anton + Ogilvy)
Both agreed independently:
1. Brand Strategy ≠ a production capability — it's the foundation tier, needs different visual treatment
2. Correct order: Research → Strategy → Copy → Visual (workflow logic)
3. "AI-" prefix in every section header after hero already set the frame → makes CE read as AI company, not judgment company
4. "Synthesize thousands of sources" appeared 3 times across essay/headline/proof strip — killed 2

### Final page structure (v3, commit 134835a → 3392c0f)
① Hero → ② Proof strip → ③ "How it works" (integration premise, now BEFORE capabilities) → ④ Brand Strategy (foundation tier, no Fig number, distinct layout) → ⑤ Fig 0.1 Research → ⑥ Fig 0.2 Copy → ⑦ Fig 0.3 Visual → ⑧ Work → ⑨ Exclusion → ⑩ CTA

### Research section expanded (Lukas feedback)
Research = three inputs converging:
- Client: brief, existing docs, brand materials
- Experience: 20+ years (Assaf)
- AI: 40k+ sources overnight
New diagram shows three hairlines → red node "the brief" → "Where you actually stand"

### Key decisions
- Brand Strategy is a separate section above the Figs (foundation tier), not a numbered Fig
- Integration section moved BEFORE capability Figs (sets up the loop before showing the parts)
- No "AI-" prefix in Fig headers — established in hero, not repeated
- Research deliverables now lead with "Synthesis of client brief & existing materials"

### Source material for approach page
- Phat Foods: `work/active-projects/olevia/phat-comms-pillars-team-v2.md`
- Wexelerate: `work/pitches/wexelerate/BRIEF.md`
- CE design tokens: `public/styleguide.html`

## CE Tone of Voice Tool — Built for Cropster Demo (14:10 UTC)

### Context
- Meeting with Christina Jakob (Head of Marketing, Cropster) tomorrow
- She wants to work on tone-of-voice
- Assaf wanted a proof-of-concept sales/marketing tool for CE

### What Was Built
**CE Tone of Voice Tool** — `staging.curiousendeavor.com/ce-tov/`

**Two modes:**
1. **Cohort Mode** — 5 pre-built interlocutor archetypes with full messaging briefs
2. **Personal Mode** — Input name + company → Gemini researches via Google Search → synthesizes calibrated profile + messaging

**Five archetypes:**
| Archetype | Cohort | Key CE Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| The Pipeline Architect | CMO / VP Marketing | Output Velocity + No Headcount |
| The Multi-Channel Juggler | Head of Marketing | Parallel Segment Execution |
| The Taste Guardian | Creative Director | Zero Calibration Tax |
| The Everything Operator | CEO / Founder | Full Creative Department |
| The Systems Builder | Tech CEO | Systematic Process |

**Key features:**
- Tone annotations (color-coded words: Mastery=red, Mirror=green, Hook=amber) with hover tooltips
- "What We Know So Far" side panel with versioned intelligence + rollback concept
- "Where CE Wins" grid per cohort mapping CE capabilities to each archetype
- "How Lukas Uses This" usage examples
- Pre-built cold emails, LinkedIn messages, conversation hooks per cohort
- Pull quotes, data stats, example targets, reading lists per cohort

### Technical
- Frontend: `public/ce-tov/index.html` (CE design system — Larken, Inter, JetBrains Mono)
- Backend: `/root/ce-tov-server.js` on port 3100, running in `screen -S ce-tov`
- Backend uses Gemini 2.5 Flash for both search (with google_search tool) and synthesis (with JSON mode)
- Nginx proxy: `/ce-tov/api/` → localhost:3100
- OpenAI API quota was dead; Anthropic key is OpenClaw proxy token (can't call api.anthropic.com directly). Gemini works.

### Design Iterations
- v1: Functional but boring — text-heavy, no visual hierarchy
- v2: Added tone annotations, side panel, archetypes, editorial content
- v3: Full grid redesign matching Cropster TOV page patterns
- v3.1 (in progress): Font cleanup — reducing to Larken (headlines/numbers only) + Inter (everything else) + JetBrains Mono (email bodies only)

### Assaf's Vision (Beyond Demo)
- Platform gets smarter with every update of target audience + sales feedback
- Rollback capability if new intelligence doesn't improve conversions
- Will be productized (not just internal)
- Integrate Last30 skill for richer signal research
- Eventually wire Claude for synthesis (better copy quality than Gemini)

### PRD
- `work/pitches/cropster/signal-room-prd.md` — full PRD with Anton's critique
- Name changed from "Signal Room" to "CE Tone of Voice"

### Git Commits
- `26a681e8` — memory: Cropster pitch context
- `e3a06f36` — CE advantage grid per cohort
- `1c26ef31` — v3 grid redesign
- Several intermediate commits for styles and fixes

### Open
- Font hierarchy still needs tightening (Assaf feedback: too many fonts, weak hierarchy)
- Last30 integration not yet wired into backend
- Personal mode needs visual richness matching cohort mode
- Deploy to production (curiousendeavor.com) before tomorrow's meeting
