Morning Brief
The first tier of the coherence layer, running daily. Its job is to surface what has changed in the sensing layer overnight, at a level each leader can absorb in ninety seconds and act on immediately. For most recipients, no decision is required — it is orientation. For a subset, a disposition is required: act now, defer with a revisit date, dismiss with rationale, or escalate to a higher tier. The Morning Brief consumes from the Heartbeat streams; it is not the Heartbeat itself. Its success metric is the median time from observation to disposition. (Strategy as Infrastructure, Ch 15)
Why it matters
The Morning Brief replaces what was previously called the ‘Heartbeat’ (daily briefing). The rename reflects a deeper architectural shift: the briefing is a consumer of the continuous Heartbeat streams, not the stream itself. In Stratafy’s current implementation, the CEO Morning Briefing (available at /ceo-briefing) is the Phase 1 version — CEO-only, pulling from the Workspace Analytics Service. Role-aware expansion to all leaders with decision authority is planned for Phase 2.
