10 Missions × 5×3 Service-Line Grid
One line, end to end.
Mission to commercial.
Ten missions ship Friday. Each was born on the floor — a hacker's demo, a Build Slate choice — and each lands on your commercial grid: five service lines, three ways a client buys. This page is the Rosetta stone between the build and the strategy — every mission traced to where it came from and where it sells. They line up almost one-to-one.

A · The Rosetta stone
Each mission → where it came from → where it sells
The ten missions are the spine. Read each one back to its origin on the floor, and forward to its slot on your grid. Nine map clean to a service line and a tier. One — HALLMARK — was written entirely by the floor (Paula's Brand Stylesheet Skill), the mission your strategy didn't have yet. Each carries the board's own taxonomy: layer (Knowledge / Trust / Narrative) and type (Core / Strike).

Four Build Slate choices aren't missions this Friday — but they're not loose ends. They're the named next wave, and three of them sit in the exact lines your deck calls thinnest.
Client Prototype Engine “Life”
Fills Experience & Product — your thinnest line. Already specced; proven on the floor by Adam's Life prototype — a reusable client-prototype template clients self-personalise.

C · Proof from the floor
The missions aren't top-down — the floor wrote them
Oli curated roughly two dozen idea cards from the show-and-tell calls. Read line by line, nearly every strategic build already maps to a mission — the consolidation lost nothing. A few stand out: where many teams converged on one idea, where the floor proved a flagship, and where it wrote a mission we didn't have.
★ ARCHITECT
Four front doors became one
Four teams independently built an intake / brief / scope front door. That convergence is the validation — ARCHITECT consolidates them into the Pitch Studio entry.
From the floor · DS Menu · Project Estimator · BuildFlow · Next Best Question
★ HALLMARK
The mission the floor wrote
HALLMARK isn't in the Build Slate. It came entirely from Paula's Brand Stylesheet Skill — strong enough on the floor to become mission #10, now going global as the brand-OS.
From the floor · Paula — born here, now global
SIGNAL · Experience & Product
The floor's most product-heavy theme
Edu's AI-Fashion Atelier and Adam's Life are flagship-scale client prototypes; Ava's games and Anshul's Glyphsmith pile on. The floor is telling us E&P is real and ready — the case for the one new mission (section F).

D · Your open question, answered
Flagship-first — build it whole, then decompose
Your deck leaves one call live: lead with Bespoke flagships, or ship Lite-Touch components first? We're taking flagship-first — build the ambitious end-to-end product, then break it into the smaller reusable tools. That's your "one offering, three tiers" principle as a build order. KINOSCOPE is the proof, straight off the Vid.io example:
Bespoke · the flagship
Vid.io, whole
A full deck-to-video product DS runs and owns, end to end. The ambitious build the squad ships Friday.
→
Creative Lift · the parts
The pipeline pieces
Runway consistency and edit controls, pulled out to lift a case team's video beyond what they'd reach alone.
→
Lite Touch · the tools
Daily small tools
Script-Writer, Deck Storyliner, Locked Storyboard — sharp tools DS people grab every day. Same offering, three ways to buy it.
E · The honest read
What Friday covers — and what's already specced for next
The grid agrees with your own findings. The difference: where your deck names gaps, the build already names the products that fill them — they're just not in wave one yet.
Covered Sprint Zero
- Pitch Studio stands up first — ARCHITECT + DECKHAND + WILDFIRE assemble into a working pitch flow. The visible, measurable win.
- Stories in Motion gets its flagship — KINOSCOPE (Vid.io), with CUTROOM as the Lite-Touch layer.
- Comm & Content is deepest — DECKHAND, WILDFIRE, DISPATCH, plus HALLMARK as the brand-operating-system.
- The narrative gap gets a bespoke answer — CROSSROADS, the futures / scenario capability you flagged.
Already specced → wave two
- Experience & Product — your thinnest line. The build already holds Client Prototype "Life" + Designer Engine to fill it; REDLINE is the lone Friday beachhead.
- Cross-cutting ops — Studio Ops Brain is specced as the internal-leverage play; not yet a mission.
- Stories in Motion — no documentary / live filming; podcast thin. No build product yet.
- No drift left to settle — HALLMARK is a full mission, not an orphan. The map is clean.
F · The one new mission to add
An Experience & Product prototype engine, for wave two
The strategic pick
Fold Designer Engine + Client Prototype “Life” into one wave-two flagship.
It's the only net-new mission worth adding, and it earns its place twice over. One: it fills your #1 named gap — Experience & Product, the thinnest line on the grid. Two: it's the most product-heavy theme on the floor — Edu's AI-Fashion Atelier and Adam's Life are flagship-scale client prototypes, with Ava's games and Anshul's Glyphsmith alongside. The demand signal and the gap are the same place.
Everything else on the floor already lands on an existing mission — the consolidation holds. This is the one idea big enough, and proven enough, to become mission #11 when wave two opens. Your call on whether it's one flagship or two.
How the surfaces fit
One line: born on the floor → built Friday → sold your way.
The floor is the ideation, the ten missions are the build, your grid is how it sells — and this bridge is the translation between all three. Every mission now carries an origin and a commercial slot. Your deck, the squad board, the Build Slate and this bridge all stay live and point at each other — four surfaces, one model. If any placement reads wrong, it's a one-line change — the stone is the instrument for the debate, not a lock.
