The officers
Pick one to write your weekly Keeper’s Brief. Every officer gets the same facts and never changes them; only the voice is different.
Your advisor. She reads everything the bees do and writes your Keeper’s Brief. She advises; you decide.
No excuses, no coasting. For keepers who want to be pushed.
Just the numbers and the next objective. No small talk.
Steady and kind. One thing at a time.
Every fix is a win on the board.
Seen it all. Tells you straight, with a dry joke.

How they work
Each bee shows you exactly what it will change before it touches anything.
A fix only counts once the next scan proves it. No proof, no credit.
Every change is logged with a one-click undo. Changed your mind next month? Still one click.
