      <title>Manual appointments on purpose</title>

      <description>ConsentBloom's first version asks the artist to add the appointment by hand. That is a choice, not a missing feature. The calendar stays in Square or Booksy, and the chase does not wait on an integration.</description>

      <description>Support email is where a human answers. Transactional consent mail carries the signing link and the chase — invite, reminder, and the signed copy — and the two stay apart.</description>

      <description>Opus 5.5 replaces Opus 5 in every role we measured, and in two of the three it changes the effort we run.</description>

      <description>GPT-6 Sol replaces GPT-5.6 Sol as fast implementation reviewer, does not replace it as plan gate, and is a credible second planner beside GPT-6 Astra.</description>

      <description>The signing link is the surface. The job underneath is keeping a trustworthy record of what was signed, when, and by whom — so chase and find still work months later.</description>

      <title>Grok 4.7 vs Grok 4.6: what changed in the same jobs</title>

      <description>Grok 4.7 is a much better author than Grok 4.6 and a quieter critic, at about three times the price.</description>

      <description>Clients and artists actually touch the signing link. Not a PDF in email, not a portal login — one durable place to sign, chase, and find later.</description>

      <description>ConsentBloom’s product decisions came first — beside booking, not a form builder, email-first. The marketing page follows when those choices are solid.</description>

      <description>ConsentBloom starts with email invites and reminders. SMS is a different product — templates, carriers, and approval — so it waits.</description>

      <description>We used to put the smartest model on planning and audit. A bench on real issues pushed us to route by role instead.</description>
