Carousel 5 systems that halve reporting time Draft·Create·Schedule
Same single-row header on every stage and post type — see page 4 for the ⋯ menu rendered open (status · priority · topic/series · platforms · Copy-for-AI · delete).

Create — per-slide production

Same chrome simplification as the image post, applied to the per-slide flow: single-row header, Direction collapsed to a reference strip, and the NEW Brand style row — plus the style-guide demotion: the kit is the base, each carousel only writes a small delta on top, so slide sets stop drifting apart.

Slide plan from Draft — 6 slides, themes + headlines set 4:5 6 slides Edit in Draft
No re-rendered slide plan. Today this stage re-shows every slide’s theme + headline read-only. The plan has one home (Draft); Create references it and produces.

This carousel’s twist
Style-guide demoted to a delta. Today every carousel invents a fresh 2–4 sentence styleGuide from scratch — slide sets drift apart across posts. Now the kit is the base; the per-post guide is only a DELTA. Slides inherit both.

One compose-all batch + per-slide refinement — unchanged. What’s new: every slide prompt opens from the SAME kit block + set delta, so slide 6 matches slide 1 and next month’s carousel matches this one.
