Account brief — the central artifact.
Everything Mama does converges on the brief. This page is the full feature reference: every section, every interaction, every push surface. For the basics of reading a brief, see Reading your first brief. This page is for users who already get the basics.
TL;DR
The full feature surface of a brief. Generation (manual, bulk, scheduled) · Re-generation triggers · Trust markers + freshness pills · Decision-makers (verified emails, threading status) · Suggested templates + playbooks (matching rules) · Lookalikes (ranking) · Collaboration (share, comment, hand off) · Push to CRM (field mapping per connector).
01Brief generation
Four trigger paths:
| Trigger | Latency | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Manual (click "Generate") | 30-60s | One-off briefing in real time |
| Bulk (50 at once) | ~10-12 min for 20 | List-based briefing sessions |
| Scheduled (recurring) | Per schedule | Weekly account refresh — Pro+ |
| Triggered (signal-based) | Real-time as signal fires | Saved-search hits — Pro+ |
02When briefs re-generate
Briefs are point-in-time snapshots. Two ways they refresh:
- Automatic re-gen: when the underlying signal data shifts materially (a new signal fires, an exec changes, ICP rubric weights change) — Mama re-generates the brief in the background and shows a "Refreshed" badge.
- Manual re-gen: click the "Re-generate" button in the brief header. Forces a fresh fan-out across all sources.
Old versions are kept — toggle "Show history" in the brief header to see prior versions and what changed.
03Trust markers, in depth
Every scraped fact in a brief carries a verify pill. The pill states: when the fact was last verified and where from. Hover for details, click to report incorrect.
| Pill | Confidence | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| Verified · <24h | Highest | Outreach immediately |
| Verified · 1-7d | High | Outreach |
| Verified · 7-30d | Medium | Use but verify if high-stakes |
| Inferred | Pattern-based, not observed | Most common for emails |
| Stale >30d | Low | Re-verify before outreach |
Topbar shows workspace-level data freshness — when the last full crawl completed across major sources. This is the "is the data current today?" answer.
04Decision-makers — full feature set
The DMs section is more than a list. Each person card includes:
- Verified email pill (SMTP-verified in last 7d) · Inferred pattern · or Pattern unknown
- Role tier: Economic buyer (Tier 1) · Technical champion (Tier 2) · Influencer (Tier 3)
- Recent activity: last post, last role change, last public talk — drives "warm signal" detection
- Thread status: whether anyone on your team has emailed this person in the last 90 days (CRM-sourced)
- Track in Orbit button: one-click add to your relationship watchlist
The Decision-makers section can be expanded to show up to 20 people per account, sorted by role tier × thread-readiness.
05Template and playbook matching rules
Suggested templates and playbooks are filtered + ranked by signal mix + persona tier of the brief:
- Filter: only templates tagged with the brief's primary signal type AND a matching persona tier
- Rank: by historical reply rate × predicted reply rate × archetype fit
- Show: top 5 templates · top 3 playbooks
- Override: click "Browse all" to see the full 200-template library
06Lookalike ranking detail
The 5-account lookalike rail at the bottom of every brief ranks candidates by:
- Archetype-fingerprint match (40%)
- ICP rubric score (30%)
- Signal freshness (20%)
- Untouched-ness — "your team hasn't emailed this in 90d" (10%)
You can re-rank by clicking a sort header (Score · Freshness · ICP only).
07Collaboration
Briefs are shareable within your workspace:
- Share link: paste in Slack or email — opens the brief inside Mama for any teammate
- Add comment: inline comments on any brief section, visible to teammates with brief access
- Hand off: assign brief to a teammate — moves into their queue with @-mention
- Workspace history: every brief touch (read, comment, push) is logged for audit + Reply Loop attribution
08Push to CRM
Five CRM connectors supported (HubSpot · Salesforce · Pipedrive · Close · Attio). Push behavior is per-connector configurable:
| Push field | Default destination | Configurable? |
|---|---|---|
| Headline ("why now") | Activity note | Yes |
| Signals | Custom property (JSON) | Yes |
| Decision-makers | Create new contacts under account | Yes |
| Suggested templates | Activity note with link | Yes |
| Lookalikes | Skipped by default | Yes (opt-in) |
