Weekly status update

Turn a messy week into a crisp update in 15 minutes.

The workflow

1. Collect the raw inputs: task board export, notes, blockers.
2. Ask your assistant for Wins / Progress / Blockers / Next week / Decisions needed.
3. Check every claim against the board. AI over-states progress.
4. Tailor one version for your team and a 3-line version for your boss.
