NLBID Board Exercise — Feb 12, 2026

Facilitation Guide for Alex

Why We're Doing This

The BID is already good at some things — capital improvements are clear and effective, and the F&B-focused marketing has real traction
The challenge isn't that we're failing — it's that marketing, events, and resource conversations outside of those strengths have gone in circles for 2+ years
Sydney identified three pain points: restaurant-heavy events, no marketing committee, general dissatisfaction with marketing/PR

Byline: Mine / Machine / Ours

Spec — 2026-02-10

Problem

Git blame tells you who last edited a line, but in human+AI collaborative coding, we need finer-grained attribution: what the human wrote, what the agent generated untouched, and what they shaped together.

Name

Byline — every piece of work gets a byline. The byline tells you whose hands shaped it.

Andy Insights — Implementation Plan

Created: 2026-02-05 Status: Draft — awaiting approval Goal: Build a continuous session insights system that extracts rich facets from Claude Code sessions and generates weekly/monthly reports tied to Alex's businesses, priorities, and relationships.
