Chapter 01 — The Client Queue · Spring 2026

One agency. Every retainer in one queue. No more hunting for v7 on Friday.

One workspace per client, every brand kit scored automatically, every approval stage on one page. Built for agencies who lost a whole week to forwarded PDFs last quarter.

The Dossier · Three complaints

Everything wrong with how your team approves content today.

  1. 01

    Forwarded.

    You manage 8-20 client brands and every one has a different Slack channel, a different Notion page, and a different 'final_v7_FINAL.pdf'

  2. 02

    Reforwarded.

    Account managers spend Mondays chasing who approved what on which platform for which client

  3. 03

    Lost.

    Your CDs waste a day a week re-explaining brand standards in Figma comments that never reach the client

The Method · Three movements

Every client. Every brand kit.
One queue. One audit log.

Three movements. One queue per agency, one workspace per client. Every draft scored against the right brand kit, every approval timestamped, every shipped piece exportable as proof.

  1. Risograph-style illustration of three client workspaces flowing into a single agency queue.

    Workspace per client

    One brand kit per client. One queue for all of them.

    Spin up a workspace for every client you retain — their colors, fonts, voice, logo, and guidelines URL. Your account managers see all of them in one queue; your creatives see only the clients they work on. No more scattered Slack channels and no more 'FINAL_v7' hunts.

  2. Risograph staircase of three score tiles — green, amber, red — with an expandable breakdown row underneath each.

    Score

    Catch the client's brand-guide rejections — before you send.

    Every draft is scored against that specific client's brand kit in under five seconds. Colour match, logo detection, voice alignment — explainable and auditable. Catch the three things the client's brand lead always catches, in round one, so you stop billing revisions you can't invoice for.

  3. Risograph hourglass tipped slightly, with an acid lime sweep tracing the staged approval path from draft to approved.

    Approve

    Ship with receipts your client can't dispute.

    Draft → brand review → client sign-off → approved. Every stage timestamped, attributable, exportable. When renewal comes up or legal asks 'what did you ship and when,' the retainer defence document is already written. One click exports the full log per client, per period.

Side by side · The same post, two review cycles

Forwarded PDFs lose the brief.
A client queue keeps the receipts.
