Studio

Studio is where a finished scan becomes something you can put in front of other people. It is a single generate-and-download surface for the loaded snapshot: pick an output product on the left, preview an example on the stage, press Generate, and collect the result from the archive below. Everything Studio makes is built from the scan you currently have open — the kicker at the top of the page restates exactly which scan that is (date, areas, jurisdictions).

The workflow is always the same four moves:

The five outputs

The left-hand Output index lists five product families. Each line carries its file format and what varies within it:

Selecting a product swaps the stage — the large panel on the right. The stage always shows an example render at size, labelled “Preview — example”: it demonstrates the format and style, not your data. Below the image, an order row spells out precisely what Generate will produce (for instance PDF · TEARSHEET — OVERVIEW · 2PP · A4), so the button acts on exactly what you can see described.

Decks

Three sub-types, chosen with the segmented control on the stage:

• Action-oriented — an interactive, self-contained HTML briefing deck. Two visual presets: Dark editorial and Light consulting. Because it is a single HTML file, it opens in any browser with nothing to install.
• Narrative-led — a generated narrative deck that walks the scan as a story.
• Regulation-focused — an editable board pack in PPTX, dark theme. Use this one when the deck has to be edited in PowerPoint afterwards.

Tearsheets

Two sub-types: Overview (a clean two-page A4 PDF of the key takeaways) and Detailed (an illustrated deep dive in a style you pick). The style strip under the stage groups the choices into buckets — Professional, Poster, Editorial — and each style card carries a thumbnail; the stage updates to show the selected style at size.

Infographics

One-page visual summaries as portrait PNGs: Consultant Blue (the house consulting look) or Custom, with a 21-style gallery bucketed into Professional, Poster, and Film and Art. As with tearsheets, click a bucket chip to jump the strip, or scroll it with the ‹ › controls.

For Detailed tearsheets and Custom infographics a Provider control on the stage chooses which image-generation service renders the artwork (the two options are labelled in the product). Your choice is remembered as a standing preference; the style thumbnails never change with it, only the renderer does.

Audio

Three variants, all MP3:

• Briefing — a single-voice read of the scan.
• Discussion — a scripted two-voice dialogue.
• Debate — a two-voice debate. English-only, as the label says.

Ready audio plays in the audio dock — a mini-player that pins to the bottom of the window with play/pause, a seekable waveform, a queue, and volume. Press Play on any ready audio tile in the archive to enqueue it; the dock appears whenever the queue is non-empty and follows you around the app.

Video

Explainer — a narrated MP4 walkthrough of the scan. Generate it like anything else and watch it from the archive with the Watch action.

Generating

Press Generate → on the stage. The job is queued; the button becomes a live counter (“1 generating — queue another”) and you can immediately queue another artefact — of the same type or a different one — without waiting. Progress also shows on the corresponding archive tile, which appears at once in a queued then generating state, with a spinner in its hover preview until the real render exists.

Some routes ask a question or two first, in a small popover on the Generate button — for example the Consultant Blue infographic’s orientation and detail options, or a free-text custom instructions field on several generated routes (available where enabled on your account). Fill them in and confirm; the popover’s Generate does the same thing as the stage button.

Language follows the dashboard. If you are viewing the scan in a non-English language and a translated narrative exists, generated artefacts are produced in that language too. The one exception is the Debate podcast, which is English-only.

Advanced and Expedite

Every sub-type carries an Advanced disclosure in the same place beneath the order row. Inside you will find:

• The fixed production roles for that route — shown for transparency; they are not configurable.
• The Expedite toggle. By default, artefact generation runs through a slower batch lane. Expedite runs it in real time instead — the UI notes this costs roughly double. On routes with no batch lane the toggle shows as permanently on and greyed out, which is the honest state: there is nothing to flip. Where Expedite is live, it is a sticky preference — it stays set for future generations until you turn it off.

The archive

Beneath the stage, Archive — Previously generated holds every artefact you have made, grouped by scan with a dated rule between groups (“Scan 18-07-2026 · … · 3 artefacts”) and a running artefact count in the header.

Scan filter. Once the current scan has at least one artefact, filter chips appear: the current scan (the default), All scans, and a searchable Choose scan picker that filters your whole history by title, scan ID, or date. The filter only scopes the shelf — nothing is deleted by changing it.

Tile anatomy. Each tile shows a friendly type label (“Deck — Action-oriented”, “Tearsheet — Detailed”, “Audio — Discussion”…), when it was made, and a status pill: queued, generating, ready, or failed. Hovering a ready tile floats a live preview by the cursor — for interactive decks this is the actual deck, scaled down and running.

Actions on a ready tile:

Failed tiles show the error message with Retry and Delete. Retry resubmits the identical job; Delete removes the record.

Spend line. When the current scan has accumulated any artefact spend, a footer states it plainly: “Artefact spend on this scan — $x.xx”. If you see no line, there is nothing to report.

Worked example: the Monday pack

Your weekly scan landed this morning and the team expects a tearsheet and a podcast by ten.

1. Open Studio; the kicker confirms the loaded scan is this morning’s run.
2. Pick Tearsheet, sub-type Overview. The order row reads PDF · TEARSHEET — OVERVIEW · 2PP · A4. Press Generate →.
3. Without waiting, pick Audio, variant Discussion — the order row reads MP3 · DISCUSSION · TWO-VOICE — and generate that too. The button is now a counter, and two tiles sit in the archive working through queued and generating.
4. When the tearsheet turns ready, View it, then Download the PDF for the compliance channel. When the discussion is ready, Play sends it to the audio dock — it keeps playing while you write the covering note.

Two artefacts, one scan, no waiting in between; the archive footer states what the pair cost.

Send a scan to NotebookLM

If the integration is configured for your workspace, a Send scan to NotebookLM card sits under the output index (and the same flow is available from the header’s Export & Import menu). It pushes the scan’s sources — and optionally its executive narrative — into a new NotebookLM notebook so you can question the underlying documents interactively.

The dialog has two steps:

1. Configure — edit the notebook title (pre-filled from the scan title, jurisdictions, and date), choose whether to include the executive narrative, and set source filters (include unverified sources; exclude low-confidence items). A live counter shows how many unique sources will be sent.
2. Progress — each source reports its status as it is added, ending with an Open in NotebookLM link.

Exporting scan data

Artefacts are not the only way out. The header’s Export & Import menu works on the scan data itself:

• Export JSON — the full snapshot as structured data.
• Export CSV — the item table, spreadsheet-ready.
• Import JSON — load a previously exported snapshot back in.

For programmatic and repeatable exports, the same artefact and data surfaces are available through the /v1 API.

Where next

• Your first scan — if Studio’s shelf is still empty.
• Scheduled scans — keep fresh snapshots arriving for Studio to work on.
• /v1 exports API — the same artefacts, programmatically.
