The Pulse stack

PULSE — voice + audience layer ┌─── shared corpora ────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Beats tone-of-voice corpus Years of approved captions │ │ Persona library Defined audience profiles │ │ Cultural reference index Music / sport / fashion │ │ │ └────────────┬───────────────────┬──────────────────────┘ │ │ ▼ ▼ BEA-30 Captions BEA-34 Synthetic Audience (tone fine-tuning) ('would this resonate?') │ │ ▼ ▼ BEA-31 Positioning BEA-27 Culture Report (concept gen) (weekly briefing) │ ▼ → Foundry creative gate (Hermes validates Atlas's visual output)

Pulse compounds as the corpus grows. Every approved caption (BEA-30) and validated persona (BEA-34) makes the next project work better. The persona library prepared for BEA-34 also accelerates BEA-31 Positioning.
