How to use this deck

Start here

01Slides follow a campaign in the order the team works it: set up, source, reach out, contract, review, post, report.
02Each screen slide = screenshot (left) + audit notes (right): the job it serves, what works, what is missing, and what GG asked for.
03The status pill says what state the surface is in.
04The Feedback tag says whether GG's first-round feedback on that screen is shipped, partly done, or still open.
05Summary slides at the end: feedback tracker, answers to GG's questions, built-but-off switches, gaps by job, ranked issues, and a meeting agenda.

Status pills

Built, switched on and reachable

OFF

Built, but switched off by a setting (hidden on purpose)

PARTIAL

Works, but covers only part of the job

NOT BUILT

On GG's job list, no screen yet

how this was audited

Every page was opened on the local demo build (in-memory database, 40 synthetic creators, no network calls) at 1440px. Production was not used because the real tracker data is PII. Switch states for production come from docs/demo-walkthrough.md (state Oct 26) and docs/FEATURES.md; features were confirmed in code, not guessed. On the demo, Smartlead and Google are not connected, so the inbox, Drive buttons and Run Enrichment look disabled there; that is the demo, not a bug.

~/genius-ai / questions

GG's questions answered

Answers checked against the app code

Question	Answer
What is the Year filter for? Will New Campaign auto-fill?	It narrows the list to one year's quarter sheets. New Campaign defaults to the current year and quarter and creates that quarter if it doesn't exist.
Will video data fill the Reporting folder?	Yes once switched on: 7 days after a post goes live the app writes a '7-day report' Doc into 4) Reporting. It is OFF today (POST_METRICS_LIVE). Decide: switch on, or drop the folder.
When a creator emails a concept or video, does it reach Drive and the app?	Links in a reply (Google Doc, Drive file, WeTransfer) are saved to the Concept or Content folder and open the next round 'by email'. Demo sheets only for now (EMAIL_SUBMISSIONS_LIVE); attached files are not picked up yet.
ETA on email?	The full Smartlead path works in test mode. Real sends need a go-live decision and a named person who approves campaigns.
Will formatting survive?	Yes: bold, italics, lists and links go to Smartlead as HTML with a plain-text part; open/click tracking is off so it doesn't read as bulk mail.

~/genius-ai / questions

GG's questions answered (continued)

Answers checked against the app code

Question	Answer
Merge fields? Edit before sending?	Yes to both. Drafts are editable; an unfilled merge field blocks queueing.
Trash or archive for spam?	Both, plus Spam. App-side only; nothing is deleted in Smartlead.
Due dates in emails?	Yes: {{concept_due}}, {{content_due}}, {{content_v2_due}}, {{post_date}} fill from the Contracts dates and review rounds.
Where do briefs live?	Not in the app yet. Proposal: a Brief link/upload on each campaign header, pointing at the campaign's Drive folder.

~/genius-ai / issues

Ranked issues

Severity	Issue	Detail
HIGH	Outreach can't reach real creators yet	The 65h job is built end to end but locked to test aliases. It needs a go-live date and an owner.
HIGH	The editing time savers are off or missing	Editing is 100h and the best-covered area, but the AI first pass is OFF, there is no downmarket flag, and feedback doesn't read the Slack thread.
HIGH	Posting, reporting and pacing have the least on screen	88h of jobs: post metrics and 7-day reports are OFF, Meta is not built, and there is no Budget & Pacing panel.
MEDIUM	Exports have no button	KPI and brief CSVs (an Operational Data Export must-have) are reachable by URL only.
MEDIUM	The brief has no home	No brief link/upload per campaign and no multi-brief support, though GG asked for both.
MEDIUM	Two creator screens	The old /sheet tool is still linked from Creators and Mail next to the new database.
MEDIUM	Reports live in the wrong tab	7-day reports sit under Content, not Posts/Reporting.
LOW	Templates are code-only	GG can't add or edit a template in the app.
LOW	Raw 404	An unknown page returns {"error":"not found"} instead of a page.

~/genius-ai / working session

Suggested working session

01
Walk the job map: confirm hours and which jobs to automate this quarter (Editing, Outreach, Pacing).
02
Outreach go-live: date, sender mailboxes, who approves campaigns.
03
Editing: define 'downmarket' with examples; agree on in-app notes vs Slack; trial the AI first pass on one campaign.
04
Posting & pacing: pick the metrics source (Archive vs our pull), Meta access, and what the Budget & Pacing panel must show.
05
Close the open feedback: usage rights, multiple briefs, brief upload, ratings, Flag / Don't work with, approver.
06
Switches: decide on/off for each built-but-off feature (slide list).
