# Your weekly briefing

> Home answers four questions in order. What should I do this week, what is waiting on me, is any of this working, and what has Scout figured out.

Home is not a dashboard. It is the one page to read on a Monday. It answers four questions, in this order: what should I do this week, what is waiting on me, is any of this working, and what has Scout figured out. Everything on it links to the place where you act.

_The masthead counts what is worth moving forward. The button takes you to the queue._

## The masthead

The eyebrow reads **Week of {date}**. The heading counts: **Nothing needs you this week.**, **One thing worth moving forward this week.**, or **{n} things worth moving forward this week.**

Below it, one primary button: **Review what Scout found**, with the line that describes how Audience works, _Approve the thinking before the writing._ It opens the [opportunity queue](/opportunities/reading-the-queue).

## While the workspace is still being built

During setup the heading changes to **Scout is still getting to know you.** and the button to **Finish setting up**, with the note _A few minutes now, and this page fills itself in._ A build panel shows the current step, a progress bar, the counters that have landed, **Still coming: …**, and **Waiting on you: …** with a link back into setup. The panel disappears once [the build](/setup/the-build) is done.

## The four numbers

Four cards decide whether the week is on track. Each one says what it cannot measure rather than showing a zero it did not earn.

| Card                     | What it shows                                                                  | When it cannot                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Open opportunities**   | Found and waiting on a decision                                                | _Nothing found yet_                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| **Awaiting your review** | Outlines and drafts that need a call                                           | _Nothing waiting_                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| **Organic clicks**       | The last 30 days, with a trend against the 30 before                           | _Connect Search Console_                                                                                                                                                                               |
| **Business outcome**     | A label taken from your Analytics property, for example _Signups from organic_ | _Choose a property_ if Analytics is connected but no property is chosen; otherwise _Measure outcomes, not output. Connect Google Analytics and Scout reports on signups or revenue instead of clicks._ |

## What to move forward

The top five to seven recommendations, numbered, best first. Each shows its score, a type badge, a one-line reason, one measured evidence chip, and a **{n} sources** button that opens the sources behind it in a drawer so you can check the evidence without leaving the page.

The badges say what kind of work each one is:

| Badge         | Meaning                                                 |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| New page      | A topic you have not written about                      |
| Refresh       | An existing page worth updating                         |
| Slipping      | A page losing ground it used to hold                    |
| Nearly there  | A search you almost rank well for                       |
| Gap           | A search a confirmed competitor wins and you do not     |
| Cluster       | Several related searches that one article should answer |
| AI visibility | A buyer question an assistant answered without you      |

**See all** opens the queue. Before the first scan the section says _Scout has not found anything yet_ and explains that the first scan runs once your site is crawled and Search Console is connected.

## What Scout learned

The right rail carries one to three insights Scout drew from your own decisions and numbers, each with a headline, a line of detail and **Noticed {relative time}**. Empty at first: _Nothing learned yet. Scout picks up patterns from what you approve, edit and reject. Give it a few decisions and it will start telling you what it noticed._ Findings with evidence attached live under [Reports](/reports/overview).

## Running now

While anything is running, live cards show each run's label, its current step and a progress bar. The page refreshes itself every few seconds until they settle, so you can leave it open and watch a scan land.

## What Scout did this week

The last six finished runs, each with its outcome or, if it stopped early, its error and a **Retry** button. Retrying picks up where the run stopped rather than starting over. The full record of every run and every agent call is on the [Activity](/automation/activity) page, reached from the indicator at the foot of the sidebar.

## Invitations

If you have been invited to another workspace, a **Pending workspace invitations** window opens when you arrive, with **Accept** and **Decline** for each. See [Invite your team](/setup/invite-your-team).
