How is this different from the daily briefing?
The daily briefing is about operations — what happened overnight, what's on fire today, what to unblock this morning. The weekly review is about direction — how did the week ladder to the quarter, what patterns are emerging, what bet should we adjust. Daily is tactical; weekly is strategic. Tycoon runs both because skipping either creates problems: without daily briefings you're always reacting, without weekly reviews you never lift your head. The two workflows feed each other — weekly reviews surface patterns that adjust what the daily briefing emphasizes next week.
Can I customize what's in the weekly review?
Yes — tell the AI CEO once and it sticks. Drop sections you don't care about, add ones you do. Founders commonly request: 'add a mood check on how stretched you feel' (a useful founder-wellness signal), 'include the three decisions I procrastinated last week', 'add competitor ship velocity'. The AI CEO adjusts the template and the next review reflects it. Unlike tools like Lattice or 15Five that force a standard template, this one is conversational — it's your review, shaped by what you need to see.
What if I skip a week of the review?
The review still runs — and accumulates. If you miss Friday's 4pm window, the review waits in chat for you. Skip two weeks and the AI CEO compresses both into a 'last 14 days' synthesis instead of two separate reviews, emphasizing patterns that span both weeks. The workflow is designed to survive founder life, not punish you for missing a session. That said, skipping consistently is the signal that defeats the ritual — the AI CEO will gently flag when you've skipped 3+ in a row and propose adjustments (shorter format, different day, different time).
Does this replace my monthly or quarterly review?
No — it feeds them. Four weekly reviews compressed give you a month-view that's richer than a monthly review built from scratch at 11pm on the last day. The AI CEO runs a separate monthly review that rolls up the week-views, zooms out to quarter trajectory, and proposes strategic adjustments. Quarterly gets its own deeper review with AI Researcher doing market-sizing and competitive landscape work on top. Each cadence has its own scope; the weekly is the engine that keeps the others meaningful.
How does this work if I'm running a team, not just AI specialists?
The workflow scales naturally. Each human teammate submits a weekly update the AI CEO reads alongside the AI specialists'. The synthesis format stays identical — the review isn't 'human vs. AI', it's 'what did the whole team produce this week.' For teams of 2-10, this replaces the traditional weekly all-hands meeting: instead of 8 people sitting for 60 minutes hearing each other talk, everyone writes a 5-minute update, the AI synthesizes, the team reads the synthesis, and the meeting (if one happens) is just the 2-3 decisions that need human discussion. This is how well-run async teams operate at scale — Tycoon brings it to a one-person company from day one.
