Lead Call

The weekly Creative Direction Call. Submitting one opens its batches automatically.

Direction calls

Team check-ins

A separate weekly pulse from editors, creators and IMs. It feeds Team health on the Overview - it is not part of the lead-call flow.

Recent check-ins

Batches

Created automatically from each lead call. Expand a batch to its concept briefs.

Briefs

Make a concept brief in three quick steps. Everything you’ve made is listed below.

Production

The board. Cards flow in from briefs; move them toward launch.

Board

Tracker

Launch what’s ready, then track every live ad with performance & lineage.

Notifications

What needs you, and what’s new across the engine.

Calendar

Deadlines, launches and lead calls across the month.

Performance

Live creative performance from Motion - what’s spending, what’s winning, and which hooks are landing.

Leaderboard

Output by Creative Strategist, with winning-% from Motion where ads are matched by name.

Libraries

Personas, angles and sub-formats: defined once, chosen on every concept.

Research

Voice of customer, live from the research bot. The exact words real people use about their problem - the raw material for hooks, angles and briefs.

Ad Names

The naming convention and the full archive of past ad names, for reference. The engine still builds new names automatically at launch.

Projects

Group related concepts and campaigns into initiatives the team can track together.

Requests

Need something changed, added or fixed - in the tool or the workflow? Send it here. It goes straight to Aditya, who gets notified. Anyone can mark one resolved once it’s done.

Docs & notes

Shared notes, playbooks and SOPs, kept with the work instead of scattered around.

Activity

Every move, edit, review, comment and launch — who did what, when, and before→after. Strategist/admin only.

Weekly reports

Everyone’s weekly update — look-back, priorities, blockers & FYI. Filed from each person’s board; read them all here.

Invoicing

Invoices to Real Mad Honey — finance reviews the team’s here; everyone else builds & keeps their own.

Settings

Backend, naming and access.

Backend checking

API base . Health and naming config below.

Pods

Pods are managed from the Production sidebar - hover a pod to rename, duplicate, reorder or remove it. This is a read-only roster.

Board columns

Rename, reorder, or add board columns. Core columns (locked) drive automation - they can be renamed but not removed. Reordering asks you to confirm before it saves.

Naming

Config-driven on the backend (default mirrors the live RMH### pattern). The full convention + past names live in the Ad Names tab. The backend snapshots config.json on every restart so a naming change is reversible.

Team & access

Server-side login: PINs are hashed on the VPS, never shipped to the browser. Admins can reset a teammate’s PIN below. Roles gate who can create, launch and archive.

Archived

Soft-deleted concepts appear here, restorable — or permanently deletable if they're genuine junk.

Demo

Populate the board with a few sample concepts to see the engine alive. Safe and additive.
