A lightweight business graph: Customers, Orders, Products, Suppliers, Invoices, Employees, Locations, and Cash Accounts — linked the way the business actually runs. Entities carry owners, freshness timestamps, and risk flags (for example, “Single source for Yirgacheffe”). The agent reasons over this graph instead of raw tables, so “what breaks if this supplier slips?” is a graph question, not a spreadsheet hunt.

A named assistant that knows the owner, the business, and what changed overnight. It writes the Morning Brief, drafts emails and POs, watches thresholds, and asks in plain language. Every consequential action arrives as an approval card with the why, the cost, and the undo path.

KPIs, trends, sales mix, and anomalies — pre-filtered to what moved. No vanity charts: each visual answers “is this normal, and should I act?”

Owner approves spend and outbound messages. Managers can dismiss or snooze low-severity alerts. Finance sees invoice actions. Every approval writes to the Decision Log with timestamp and rationale.

Start read-only; write-back only behind an explicit approval and a per-connector permission screen.

North star: hours of owner admin saved per week, measured by approvals completed and briefs acted on — not logins.

Watch-outs: connector data quality (mitigate with freshness labels), alert fatigue (severity budgets + snooze learning), single-source risks surfaced early, and clear “demo vs live” labelling so owners never mistake sample data for their own.

Pricing sketch: per-location subscription with a solo-owner tier; accountants get a free partner seat because they champion retention.
