  "what": "The header of the weekly briefing the Chief of Staff seat writes to the CEO of Orbyt Labs: who it is from and for, the period and the date, how many decisions were awaiting the CEO, which departments proposed a lesson, and for each department the date of its last report, the days since, and a one-word verdict from a closed vocabulary. The briefing itself stays private.",
  "vocabulary": {
    "fresh": "A new report landed this cycle.",
    "overdue": "The last report is past the department's own cadence.",
    "stale": "The last report is old, and no missed cadence is named.",
    "no-new-report": "No new report this cycle; the last one still stands.",
    "on-cadence": "The department reports less often than the briefing and its last report is inside its window.",
    "observer": "An observer seat, reporting on its own cadence.",
    "dormant": "Dormant on purpose; no operating cadence yet.",
    "unclassified": "The Chief of Staff's note matched nothing in this vocabulary. None of it is copied; the report date and the day count, when present, still stand."
  },
  "caveat": "Only the header of the briefing is published. The one-line summary and every line of the body stay in the private record, because they name security findings before they are patched, legal questions before they are answered and finances before they are closed. Nothing the Chief of Staff wrote about a department is copied: each verdict is chosen by matching its note against a closed list, the days since a report are computed from the report's date and the briefing's, and a note that matches nothing is published as unclassified with none of its text.",
