Feedback log

• 2026-11-02T12:30 (shortlist): "SoR launched 28 Oct (not 1 Nov); launch and website v1 done: close; brand rollout probably done (check beads); launch newsletter next week as a new Q4 2026 newsletter project in Media House. Wisdom: defer to next week, webinar to 25 Nov, separate webinar project; this week brainstorm and email invitees (McGilchrist, Debold, Stein, a woman to suggest). New SoR polish project, no due date, round two in 2-3 weeks. PM infra push Tue with Uriel review. Course sessions 2 and 3 Nov, top for Rufus. GCC Thu with Sylvie, Petronella, Fae; ping Troy and Priscilla. Content pipeline behind PM infra. Add Eternity issue 3 planning session (SCQ + LTP), Rufus facilitates. Clone magazine repo. Skill: shortlist as concise table in the project-table shape; don't list all projects; gaps unclear and too long." → Shortlist rewritten (5 rows); 2607, 2609, 2606, 2602 to not_this_week/closing; record and Beads changes queued in harvest, not applied; magazine cloned; skill feedback noted for the skill session.
• 2026-11-02T13:00 (shortlist): "Brand rollout: finish the 4 open beads, a good priority this week. No to Nora Bateson but list her. Wisdom paper launched 3 weeks ago with a post; webinar is the public launch. Brainstorm more on what the team gets up to." → 2606 back on the shortlist; 2621 reason and harvest reworded; per-person lines being drafted.
• 2026-11-02T13:30 (shortlist): "Podcast: one project per major series; create Debold and Wilber. Add getting on top of the content backlog (complete content calendar) as a major project. Uriel owns brand rollout. Per-person summaries: one bullet per item, not semicolons." → Created podcast/projects/2642 and 2643 (uncommitted); 2603 row added; 4 rollout beads assigned to Uriel; format noted in skill feedback.
• 2026-11-02T14:00 (drilldown): "Apply the queued batch and write. Podcasts owned by Amanda, not Rufus (Rufus does up to production)." → Records and Beads applied; week note written to weeks/2026-11-02.md; podcast owners set to Amanda.
• 2026-11-02T15:00 (harvest): "Sweep the podcast now; Debold podcast should be in this week. Publish some content this week and do more content factory setup. Add Rufus going to Commonweal, as its own project." → Sweep re-run (podcast records now in); Debold, content factory + publishing, and Commonweal rows added; 2647 record created; week note amended.
