# #product-definition Summary

## Overview
Assaf is working to systematize and automate Curious Endeavor's brand-building expertise into a scalable product. The team has deep knowledge across research, strategy, design, and asset generation—but these capabilities exist as isolated skills rather than a connected pipeline. This channel maps that expertise into a structured, repeatable process with minimal human intervention.

## Key Decisions & Outcomes

- **Pipeline mapped from real client work**: Mission, FlowRx, Grid, American Flat, Fiona Conrad, and Phat Foods became the source of truth for how the team actually works (not theory).
- **Six-stage brand pipeline defined**:
  1. Strategy Research ("The World We're Entering")
  2. Positioning & Narrative ("What this brand stands for")
  3. Visual Territories ("Design directions from taste board")
  4. Style Guide Lock ("The locked visual language")
  5. Asset Generation ("Branded images at scale")
  6. Investor/Pitch Deck ("The story told in slides")
- **Clear ownership & tech stack documented** for each stage (who owns it, what tools/skills, what the input/output is)
- **Success metric established**: Reduce manual interventions per brand to under 3

## Active/Open Items

- Complete documentation of Stage 6 (Investor Deck) and any remaining stages
- Define the input brief schema (6 fields: name, sector, audience, differentiator, tone, goal)
- Create orchestration skill (`brand-pipeline/SKILL.md`) to route work between stages
- Run three sprint tests: known client (eToro) → known sector new client → cold brief
- Identify friction points and build missing skills based on bottlenecks
