What DMA asked for · Decision Book p.42
Brief anyone on an account in one click.
Why it matters to DMA: The answer to "what's going on with this account?" should take seconds.
In our words, from DMA's Product Decision Book v3, page 42.
How we do it
- In the team workspace, one message gets the brief: status, the buried fact, people (contact details masked), deals, last touch, owner, tier, next best action, what could make it wrong, and consent flags.
- It runs in the asker's own scope: a rep sees only their book. A deeper brief (objections, commitments, full deal history) is one more message.
- In the dashboard, the Account 360 shows the same picture.
The flow
It plays on its own while it's on screen; hover or use the controls to pause or step through.

Where the data goes
The same six stages on every page. Nothing reaches Nutshell except through the write gate.

Source
A person asks in the team workspace, or opens the account in the dashboard.
- 2Sync
Copies Nutshell changes into the bridge database
Keeps the account, people, deals and notes current.
- 3Bridge database
A copy of the CRM data, plus what the AI works out
The account record: facts with quotes, score, next best action, contactability.
- 4AI
Claude models, only through DMA's own gateway
The workspace assistant picks the read-only brief tool and puts the answer in words; it cannot change anything.
- 5Write gate
The only way back into Nutshell: checked, approved when needed, sent once
Nothing is written to Nutshell.
- 6Nutshell
The system of record
Nutshell is not changed.
