The first beat: higher education
Built first for the president's desk.
Maude's first design partners lead colleges and universities, and she speaks that world natively: peer and aspirant institutions, your accreditor, the state legislature, enrollment and aid policy, the sector press your board reads. Verified against the federal IPEDS record, so your peers are your peers.
Every briefing reads like it was written from inside the sector — never translated into it.
What Maude watches for a president
- Peer and aspirant institutions — your list, verified against the federal IPEDS record
- Your accreditor, the state legislature, and the U.S. Department of Education
- Enrollment, aid, and demographic signals for your region
- The sector press your board reads — synthesized, not forwarded
- The named people who can change your week: sponsors, chairs, chancellors
“Three threads converge on Hartwell’s finances this morning.”
The pilot
Built with executives, not around an abstract persona.
Maude is working with a small group of pilot executives right now, tuning the briefing around real operating maps.Pilot participants help refine relevance, source quality, action notes, and the read-or-listen experience — and their feedback ships, visibly, in the product's changelog.
We review each request personally. If there's a fit, we'll prepare an initial public-sources map and explain exactly what happens next — before any commitment.
