Overview
Briefing Pack transforms regime assessments into shareable formats for stakeholder communication. It generates copy-ready leadership briefs, integration payloads for Slack and Notion, and structured metadata for downstream automation.
Key outputs:
Slack Blocks Formatted message blocks for #planning channels
Notion Payloads Database entries with rich text and metadata
Linear Issues Auto-tagged issues with regime context
Email Summaries Plain-text and HTML weekly digests
PDF Reports Slide-ready constraint summaries
Copy-Ready Briefs Markdown for leadership updates
Slack

}
Slack blocks use mrkdwn format—supports bold , italic , and bullet lists natively.
Notion
if ( target === "notion" ) {
return {
parent: { type: "database_id" , database_id: "weekly-mandates" },
properties: {
Name: { title: [{ text: { content: envelope . title } }] },
Regime: { select: { name: assessment . regime } },
Summary: { rich_text: [{ text: { content: envelope . summary } }] },
RecordDate: { rich_text: [{ text: { content: envelope . recordDate } }] },
},
children: envelope . constraints . map (( item ) => ({
object: "block" ,
type: "bulleted_list_item" ,
bulleted_list_item: { rich_text: [{ type: "text" , text: { content: item } }] },
})),
metadata: envelope ,
};
}
Field Value Name Whether weekly mandate — 2024-03-15 Regime DEFENSIVE Summary DEFENSIVE: Tightness 72/100, Risk appetite 52/100. RecordDate 2024-03-15 Children • Focus on margin expansion and retention. • Cut low-leverage experiments. • Convert demand with tighter sales cycles.
Notion payloads use the Notion API schema. The metadata field preserves full regime context for downstream queries.
Linear
return {
title: envelope . title ,
description: envelope . markdown ,
labels: [ "whether" , assessment . regime . toLowerCase ()],
metadata: envelope ,
};
## Whether weekly mandate — 2024-03-15
DEFENSIVE: Tightness 72/100, Risk appetite 52/100.
### Constraints
- Focus on margin expansion and retention.
- Cut low-leverage experiments.
- Convert demand with tighter sales cycles.
Source: https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/...
Linear labels enable filtering roadmap issues by regime—useful for retrospective analysis of decision timing.
Weekly Mandate Envelope
All export formats derive from a shared envelope:
export type WeeklyMandateEnvelope = {
title : string ; // "Whether weekly mandate — YYYY-MM-DD"
summary : string ; // "REGIME: Tightness X/100, Risk appetite Y/100."
recordDate : string ; // ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD)
regime : RegimeAssessment [ "regime" ]; // SCARCITY | DEFENSIVE | VOLATILE | EXPANSION
markdown : string ; // Full markdown representation
constraints : string []; // Top 3 operational constraints
};
export const buildWeeklyMandateEnvelope = (
assessment : RegimeAssessment ,
treasury : TreasuryData ,
) : WeeklyMandateEnvelope => {
const title = `Whether weekly mandate — ${ treasury . record_date } ` ;
const summary = ` ${ assessment . regime } : Tightness ${ assessment . scores . tightness } /100, Risk appetite ${ assessment . scores . riskAppetite } /100.` ;
const constraints = assessment . constraints . slice ( 0 , 3 );
return {
title ,
summary ,
recordDate: treasury . record_date ,
regime: assessment . regime ,
constraints ,
markdown: [
`## ${ title } ` ,
summary ,
"" ,
"### Constraints" ,
... constraints . map (( item ) => `- ${ item } ` ),
"" ,
`Source: ${ treasury . source } ` ,
]. join ( " \n " ),
};
};
Example Envelope
Markdown Output
{
title : "Whether weekly mandate — 2024-03-15" ,
summary : "DEFENSIVE: Tightness 72/100, Risk appetite 52/100." ,
recordDate : "2024-03-15" ,
regime : "DEFENSIVE" ,
constraints : [
"Focus on margin expansion and retention." ,
"Cut low-leverage experiments." ,
"Convert demand with tighter sales cycles."
],
markdown : "## Whether weekly mandate — 2024-03-15 \n DEFENSIVE: Tightness 72/100, Risk appetite 52/100. \n\n ### Constraints \n - Focus on margin expansion and retention. \n - Cut low-leverage experiments. \n - Convert demand with tighter sales cycles. \n\n Source: https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/..."
}
The envelope’s markdown field is copy-ready : paste directly into PRDs, Monday planning docs, or all-hands slide decks.
Integration Targets
export type IntegrationTarget = "slack" | "notion" | "linear" ;
export const integrationTargets : IntegrationTarget [] = [ "slack" , "notion" , "linear" ];
export const parseIntegrationTarget = ( value : string | null ) : IntegrationTarget | null => {
if ( ! value ) {
return null ;
}
return integrationTargets . find (( target ) => target === value ) ?? null ;
};
Best for : Async team updates in #planning or #leadership channels
Rendered as message blocks with header + constraints
Supports threading for discussion
Metadata preserved for bot commands
Best for : Structured weekly mandate database
Each mandate becomes a database row
Filterable by regime and date
Full-text search across constraints
Best for : Roadmap context and retrospectives
Auto-tagged with regime label
Links regime to specific issues
Useful for “Why did we delay X?” questions
Slide-Ready Summaries
Briefing Pack outputs are optimized for executive presentations:
Generate envelope
Call buildWeeklyMandateEnvelope(assessment, treasury)
Copy markdown
Extract envelope.markdown field
Paste into slides
Use Google Slides, Keynote, or PowerPoint markdown import

Leadership decks demand concise, jargon-free summaries. Briefing Pack constraints are pre-filtered to the top 3 most actionable items.
Citations and Timestamps
Every export includes:
Record date : The Treasury data snapshot date (e.g., 2024-03-15)
Source URL : Direct link to US Treasury Fiscal Data API
Fetched timestamp : When Whether last pulled data
export interface RegimeInput {
id : "base-rate" | "two-year" | "ten-year" | "curve-slope" ;
label : string ;
value : number | null ;
unit : string ;
sourceLabel : string ; // "US Treasury Fiscal Data API"
sourceUrl : string ; // Full API URL
recordDate : string ; // ISO date of Treasury snapshot
fetchedAt : string ; // ISO timestamp of Whether fetch
derivedFrom ?: string ; // For calculated metrics
notes ?: string ; // Data quality warnings

Citation Example
Markdown Citation
{
sourceLabel : "US Treasury Fiscal Data API" ,
sourceUrl : "https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/average-interest-rates-treasury-securities/average-interest-rates-treasury-securities" ,
recordDate : "2024-03-15" ,
fetchedAt : "2024-03-16T08:12:34Z"
}
Always include citations in exported briefs. This ensures stakeholders can verify source data and understand staleness.
Copy-Ready Leadership Briefs
Briefing Pack markdown is designed for zero-edit copy-paste:
import { buildWeeklyMandateEnvelope } from "@/lib/integrationBriefs" ;
const assessment = evaluateRegime ( treasury );
const envelope = buildWeeklyMandateEnvelope ( assessment , treasury );
// Copy to clipboard (browser)
navigator . clipboard . writeText ( envelope . markdown );
// Or log for terminal copy
console . log ( envelope . markdown );

Add a “Copy Brief” button to your UI that calls navigator.clipboard.writeText(envelope.markdown). Users love one-click workflows.
Usage Example
import { evaluateRegime } from "@/lib/regimeEngine" ;
import { buildWeeklyMandatePayload , buildWeeklyMandateEnvelope } from "@/lib/integrationBriefs" ;
import type { IntegrationTarget } from "@/lib/integrationBriefs" ;
// Fetch current regime
const treasury = await fetchTreasuryYields ();
const assessment = evaluateRegime ( treasury );
// Generate Slack payload
const slackPayload = buildWeeklyMandatePayload ( "slack" , assessment , treasury );
await postToSlack ( slackPayload );
// Generate Notion entry
const notionPayload = buildWeeklyMandatePayload ( "notion" , assessment , treasury );
await createNotionPage ( notionPayload );
// Generate Linear issue
const linearPayload = buildWeeklyMandatePayload ( "linear" , assessment , treasury );
await createLinearIssue ( linearPayload );
// Generate copy-ready markdown
const envelope = buildWeeklyMandateEnvelope ( assessment , treasury );
console . log ( envelope . markdown );
// Copy to clipboard for slide deck
navigator . clipboard . writeText ( envelope . markdown );
Generate assessment
Run evaluateRegime(treasury) to get current regime state
Choose target(s)
Select one or more integration targets: Slack, Notion, Linear
Build payload(s)
Call buildWeeklyMandatePayload(target, assessment, treasury) for each
Deliver
Post payloads to respective APIs or copy markdown to clipboard
Export Automation
Briefing Pack is designed for cron-based automation:
// Weekly Monday morning digest
cron . schedule ( "0 8 * * 1" , async () => { // 8am every Monday
const treasury = await fetchTreasuryYields ();
const assessment = evaluateRegime ( treasury );
// Post to Slack #planning
const slackPayload = buildWeeklyMandatePayload ( "slack" , assessment , treasury );
await postToSlack ( slackPayload );
// Update Notion database
const notionPayload = buildWeeklyMandatePayload ( "notion" , assessment , treasury );
await createNotionPage ( notionPayload );
console . log ( `Weekly mandate delivered: ${ assessment . regime } ` );
});
Combine Briefing Pack with Signal Ops alerts for event-driven updates: send briefs only when regimes change.
PDF Report Generation
(Implementation example using jspdf or similar)
import { jsPDF } from "jspdf" ;
import { buildWeeklyMandateEnvelope } from "@/lib/integrationBriefs" ;
const generatePDF = ( assessment : RegimeAssessment , treasury : TreasuryData ) => {
const envelope = buildWeeklyMandateEnvelope ( assessment , treasury );
const doc = new jsPDF ();
doc . setFontSize ( 18 );
doc . text ( envelope . title , 10 , 10 );
doc . setFontSize ( 12 );
doc . text ( envelope . summary , 10 , 20 );
doc . setFontSize ( 14 );
doc . text ( "Constraints" , 10 , 35 );
envelope . constraints . forEach (( constraint , i ) => {
doc . text ( `• ${ constraint } ` , 15 , 45 + ( i * 10 ));
});
doc . setFontSize ( 10 );
doc . text ( `Source: ${ treasury . source } ` , 10 , 85 );
return doc . output ( "blob" );
};
// Download PDF
const pdfBlob = generatePDF ( assessment , treasury );
const url = URL . createObjectURL ( pdfBlob );
const a = document . createElement ( "a" );
a . href = url ;
a . download = "whether-weekly-mandate.pdf" ;
a . click ();
PDF generation is optional but useful for offline stakeholder reviews or board packets.
