Projects: strategist engagements

Run client engagements end to end — Discovery, Sources, Insights, Decisions, and Deliverables — from the Projects hub.

Projects are strategist engagements — the top-level container for a piece of brand work. A project scopes everything that belongs to one engagement: discovery answers, sources and findings, insights, decisions, and the deliverables you hand off. Use Projects when you run structured brand work for yourself or a client, rather than one-off generations.

📍 How to Access

Open Projects from the sidebar, or go directly to /projects. Projects are part of the paid spine (Founder, Strategist, Agency); on Free you'll see an upgrade screen.

🧭 Not the same as "Start Project" in Halo Chat

A strategy project (here) scopes discovery, sources, insights, decisions, and deliverables. Halo Chat's Start Project is a separate content-brief flow that hands a prompt off to a Halo Studio tool. They are different features.


What a project holds

🧩 Discovery

Capture the brief and starting context for the engagement so workshops and sources have a shared foundation.

📚 Sources & findings

Evidence you add (notes, URLs, documents, competitor and audience inputs) is auto-linked to the project's evidence folder.

💡 Insights & decisions

Synthesize findings into insights, then record the formal decisions that fuel Brand Intelligence.

📦 Deliverables

Build client-facing outputs (presentations, positioning and messaging frameworks) and publish them for review.


How to run a project

1
Create the engagement

On /projects, create a project and pick a type (for example brand foundation or rebrand). Set its status and phase, and optionally link a client workspace for portal sharing.

2
Work the spine in the project hub

Open the project to move through Discovery → Sources → Insights → Decisions → Deliverables in one place. Evidence you add here links to this engagement automatically.

3
Promote decisions to Brand Intelligence

Approved decisions become the active context Halo Chat, Halo Studio, and Review read. See Brand Intelligence for how active context works.

4
Publish deliverables for review

Send deliverables to the linked client workspace so reviewers can comment in /portal, then finalize outcomes in Review Center.

💡 Pro Tip

Create a project before you start adding sources. When engagements exist, the Sources page asks you to pick one, and Eklipsa keeps each engagement's evidence cleanly separated.
