What is the Cash section of the brief?

The Cash section is a one-screen, label-only readout of cash position, runway in weeks, and trailing-30 burn. The numbers above are clearly fictional and represent what a founder would see every Monday morning — not a real customer balance.

What are Vendor flags?

Vendor flags surface invoices that are stale past the configured threshold and any scheduled auto-pays that drift. The "Northwind Logistics" line above is a fictional example — a real brief would name the vendors connected to the founder’s accounting source.

What deadlines does the brief catch?

Calendar-only deadlines the founder has set up: estimated-tax due dates, state annual reports, vendor renewals. The Q2 estimated-taxes line above is calendar-pure and not tied to any real customer.

Why are exceptions separated from the body?

Exceptions are the only rows the workspace sends outbound. Everything else — cash, vendors, deadlines — is label-only and never leaves the workspace. The Stripe payout variance above is a fictional example of a row that would route to /app/exceptions for approval before any send.

Is any of this data real?

No. Every figure on this page is fictional and chosen to look plausible without resembling a real tenant. Production briefs read the founder’s actual QuickBooks, Gmail, Slack, Notion and Linear surfaces — none are included here.

Sample — the body below is the same ## heading / bullet shape the workspace renders. Replace the literal numbers with your own on day one.

Deadlines

Two calendar-pure deadlines land this week. Neither is a customer.
