A Salty Vet Digital portfolio

ASV Labs · Internal briefing

Keep the company legible to the person steering it.

This is a briefing, not a backlog. It tells you what is active, what needs a decision, what is learning, and what must not quietly become more work.

Briefing rule

Show an item because it changes a decision, protects focus, or proves something. If it only describes internal machinery, keep it out of the daily view.

Decision required

Choose the first Kinetik audience before expanding the product.

Which buyer segment should receive the first bounded Kinetik walkthrough/pilot ask, and what evidence threshold will justify continuing or changing positioning?

Trigger
Before additional feature expansion.

Portfolio now

Two products in view. One linked enabler stays bounded.

  1. 01

    Kinetik Triage

    ValidatePilotBlocked

    Evidence bet KIN-VAL-001

    Test
    One founder-led walkthrough or pilot ask using the current product.
    Blocker
    Target-contact shortlist and exact first segment are not yet selected.
    Success
    Direct evidence of meaningful workflow value and willingness to continue, pilot, or discuss payment.
    Stop
    No recurring pain, no meaningful value over substitutes, or no commitment after a bounded contact set.
  2. 02

    Clarity Ledger

    ValidatePersonal-use trialActive

    Evidence bet CLR-DOG-001

    Intent
    Continue a bounded personal-use trial and record real tasks, trust concerns, corrections, and repeated use.
    Success
    Repeated voluntary use with declining correction burden and clear workflow value.
    Stop
    Persistent trust failures, excessive manual correction, or no repeated voluntary use.
  3. 03

    R&D capability / Training Steward / model routing

    Linked enablerActive
    Purpose
    Unblocks Kinetik validation and role-agent reliability.
    Stop
    Research is integrated, model routing is verified, handoffs are issued, and the bounded Training Steward pilot reaches an evidence gate.

Boundaries

Focus is enforced by what does not enter the active list.

Operating limits
Active product limit: 2; active evidence-bet limit: 1 per product; linked-enabler limit: 1.
Displacement rule
Emergency work must pause or displace an active item. Unrecorded active human or agent work violates the pilot.
TechNodeX
Option/maintenance; re-enters only after explicit Charles review displaces the Option token.
FoundryKit
Enabler/option; re-enters only if direct evidence supports an external product thesis or it unblocks an active bet.
Agent Browser
Shared enabler; re-enters only when an active product has a named fleet constraint and expected unblock signal.

Education & capability

A path, not another commitment.

Learning remains a draft until it supports a portfolio decision or deliberately displaces another commitment.

  1. Step 01

    AI infrastructure foundations

    Map a request path, compare local, hosted, and hybrid choices, and make reversible recommendations.

    Draft — CEO review

  2. Step 02

    Applied paper exercise

    Use a synthetic decision canvas and rubric—no production changes, spend, or live customer work.

    Only after path approval

  3. Step 03

    Activate or keep parked

    Learning becomes active only if it supports a portfolio decision or deliberately displaces another item.

    CEO choice

Approvals & operating custody

Nothing moves because it merely appeared in a brief.

Charles

Portfolio decision authority

Select the first Kinetik buyer segment and authorize any resulting bounded pilot.

Current stateDecision required

Vision

Executive synthesis and recommendation

Prepare evidence, tradeoffs, and a bounded recommendation; cannot activate work or approve spend alone.

Current stateRecommendation ready for CEO review

Jarvis

Mac mini operational readiness

Provide operational context, readiness evidence, and rollback constraints; do not run consequential changes without Charles authorization.

Current stateVisibility and readiness review

Recent thinking

One small signal, kept subordinate.
