Massive acceleration. You said "punch through as much as we can" — we just completed Phase 2 (originally Days 4-10) in about 6 hours. That's 6 days of work compressed into one session.

What that unlocked:

Morning briefings will start auto-running at 6:30 AM PT
Evening reset reminders at 5:30 PM PT
Ready to connect real data sources (Calendar, Gmail, Zoho)

Pending / Next Actions

Phase 3 priorities:

Connect Google Calendar (read-only) → real meeting data in briefings
Connect Gmail (filtered, read-only) → email summaries
Connect Zoho CRM (read-only) → district pipeline visibility

Reference data to populate:

reference/ztag/ files (brand guide, districts, grant cycles, curriculum)
reference/gantom/ files (operations, overview)
reference/finance/ files (SBA loans, revenue model)

Cost tracking:

Manual for now (check Anthropic console)
Template ready: working/cost-log.md
First cost report due tonight at 10 PM

Cost Status

Today's estimated spend: ~$0.50-1.00 (one long session, Sonnet 4.5)

Budget: $5/day ceiling (Phase 2-3)

Status: ✅ Well within cap

Notes

Cron jobs will fire automatically starting tomorrow (6:30 AM briefing, 5:30 PM reset)
This is a test run — tomorrow's briefing will be the first real automated one
Phase 2 → Phase 3 velocity: insane. Ready to wire up integrations whenever you say go.
