Your workspace remembers your brand
Standing facts about your product, your cast and your tone are kept at the workspace and applied to every later brief — visible, editable, and yours.
Why memory belongs to the workspace
An opinion is personal and a brand fact is not. Your bottle is the amber 200ml one whoever happens to be typing.
If memory belonged to each person, two colleagues on the same brand would hold different facts and produce work that contradicts itself, with neither of them able to see why. Personal taste stays personal; brand truth is shared.
Why every fact is visible
Because the whole burden of a system that judges for itself is that you can see and undo what it decided.
So there is one card per fact, it says on its face who saved it, and it can be removed. A system that remembers things you cannot see is not a convenience, it is a liability.
Why there is no expiry
A fact about a brand does not become false because nobody restated it for sixty days.
The case that matters is a rebrand, and that is handled by you being able to see the whole list and change it — not by a timer guessing on your behalf and getting it wrong in both directions.
Why approving a likeness is its own step
What an approval authorises is spending money to generate somebody's likeness.
Doing that as a side effect of typing a name into a box is not consent. It is a separate, deliberate act, and it records who made it.
Who this is for
Anyone who has typed the same description of their own product for the fifth time.
It is most valuable to teams rather than individuals, because the cost of not having it scales with the number of people who could describe the same thing differently.
How to start using it
Do not sit down to fill it in. Work normally for a week and then read the cards.
What is there will mostly be right, some of it will be wrong, and the wrong ones are the useful signal — they show you what your briefs have been implying rather than saying. Edit those, delete what does not belong, and add the two or three standing facts you have corrected more than twice.
