Triage with the keyboard

Four verdicts, one key each, ten seconds to change your mind, and an Excluded list that keeps everything.

Every card on the shortlist takes one of four verdicts. On Home each one is a single key.

Key

Verdict

What happens

A

Accept

Right readers, right page. The creator moves to Ready to pitch.

S

Skip

Not now. The card comes back in a month.

W

Watch

Right readers, not the right page yet. Kept on the watch list.

X

Not a fit

Wrong creator for this product. Excluded, and restorable.

Moving around

  • J and K move down and up the list.

  • R jumps back to the first card left to review.

  • E opens the evidence at the quoted passage.

Press ? anywhere in the app for the full keyboard map.

What Accept does

Accepting a creator moves them to Ready to pitch and starts three things in the background: a fresh read of their profile, a free search for a contact on their own pages, and a first draft of the pitch. None of it costs a paid lookup.

Ten seconds to change your mind

Every verdict takes effect at once and shows a toast with Undo for ten seconds (⌘Z works too). Not a fit also asks why, with one-tap reasons like Wrong audience or Brand, not a person. The reasons are what rubric suggestions learn from.

Skipped and Excluded

Nothing you answer is lost. The tabs above the list keep it:

  • Skipped holds the cards that come back in a month. Bring forward returns the oldest, at most three at a time, onto this week's list if it has room; when the list is full, nothing comes back.

  • Excluded holds every Not a fit, forever. Restore puts a creator back in the directory and makes them eligible for a list again.

The Excluded tab listing creators marked Not a fit, each with a Restore button.
Excluded: Not a fit lands here, restorable forever.
