Free: The Friday Update Brief

It's Friday, 4 PM. The client update is due, and it's in your notes somewhere.

This is the free cut of the highest-leverage engagement brief we ship: paste it into Claude with your week's raw notes — meeting fragments, half-sentences, the thing you're supposed to chase — and get back a client update in five parts that reads in 30 seconds. Not a summary of your week: an extraction, shaped the way clients actually read, with the things that don't belong in writing left out.

What you get

• The Friday Update Brief — self-contained: a four-fact fill-in block (client name, how they read updates, word cap, sign-off), the five-part update shape, the never-invent-facts rule, and a 3-minute review pass
• A sample week of raw notes — a real engagement's unedited scratchpad, so you can watch the brief work before trusting it with a client
• The reference output — what the brief produces from those notes, with a note on why it's shaped that way and what was deliberately left out
• Works anywhere — paste it into any current Claude model in chat, or drop it in a folder if you work in files. No setup, no terminal.

What this costs you

Your email address. That's the whole price — we'll use it to send the download link and one email when we ship something worth your attention. No daily newsletter grind, no funnel-stack nonsense.

Who this is for

Solo consultants and small-agency owners (1–5 people) who owe at least one client a weekly update and write it from scratch every Friday — or worse, skip it and take the check-in call instead.

Who this isn't for

• Anyone without active client work. The brief extracts an update from a real week's notes; without the notes there's nothing to extract.
• Anyone who wants the whole standing system — context files, standards, six briefs, a workspace Claude reads automatically. That exists; it's the Claude Workspace Kit, and this brief is one slice of it.

What's next after this

The fill-in block is the tax: you'll re-enter your facts every Friday, for every client. The Claude Workspace Kit ($67) makes this brief standing — your facts live in files Claude reads automatically — and ships the five other engagement briefs (transcript → proposal, artifacts → case study, notes → pipeline memo, close → offboarding + referral, scope change → memo + reprice), four deliverable standards, three consultant-type presets, and a filled-in worked example. If your practice lives in chat rather than files, the Claude Project Kit ($47) is the same standing setup built for Projects — the Project Kit sets Claude up to know your practice in chat; the Workspace Kit sets Claude up to do the work in your files.
