A JATO capability · also standalone

Daybook

The predictive editorial calendar — see the story coming while there’s still time to report it.

Every day the public record makes promises: “the report will be tabled next session,” “the verdict is expected in March,” “the policy takes effect on the 1st.” Those dated claims scroll past and are forgotten — until a rival breaks the story you could have planned for.

Daybook reads your sources, extracts the dated claims, and places them on a forward calendar with lead-time markers. Your editor sees what’s coming, with time to assign it. And the promises that quietly lapse become accountability journalism.

Daybook — a forward editorial calendar (Gantt): dated promises placed on a timeline with 90/60/30/14/7/1-day lead-time markers, per beat, with confidence and source. — *Dated promises on a forward calendar, with lead-time markers — per beat, with confidence and source.*

Standalone, or part of JATO

A small newsroom can take just Daybook — it’s a whole planning desk on its own, a low-commitment way in. It’s also a JATO capability: ask “what’s coming on my beat?” and JATO composes Daybook with the rest of the library.
