Raise approvals, Prototemplate

Twelve boards and a list of 23 items that gathered every decision blocking the posts.

How it was directed

Kevin asked for every decision that blocked posting on one set of boards, so he could answer them in one pass. The boards covered the cover and post picks, the founders' logo files, which companies appear and a crop on the French site.

He approved the logo files, asked for Mercor in one colour, removed one company from the founders wall, parked the blog, filed the stronger dither set as the old direction, and kept named rows from both poster rounds. From here the work was posters.

What was made

Twelve approval boards and a 23-item list (APPROVALS.md) gathered every choice that blocked posting, from the cover and X post 3 picks to Mercor's and Cognition's logo files, T3 Chat for @theo and the French "Enterprise" crop. A one-page review (review/index.html) showed everything at once.

1. Cover pickShipped cover against globe-particle and stipple-earth. No pick; the cover stays open.

2. X post 3 pickShipped founders wall against founders-issue. Neither became a kept direction.

3. Globe particle, stripes or landKevin picked the land alternate.

5. Mercor logoAnswer: black and white if Mercor has one, otherwise the gradient is ok.

6. Cognition logoKevin approved it.

7. T3 Chat for @theoKevin left T3 Chat out.

9. Chrome spines slotsKevin picked the name slots.

10. Bilingual Chinese amountKevin kept it, pending a native read.

12. French crop, EnterpriseAnswer: fix on the site; Slack draft and trace in approvals/french-enterprise/.

What carried forward

Kevin approved Cognition's lockup, Mercor in black and white where Mercor publishes it, dropping T3 Chat, and a site fix for "Enterprise". He parked all blog work, filed the stronger-dither launch set as the old direction, and moved the work to the posters.
