Public pages use Frosted D: warm paper, Geist, navy as a bar, photographs from above at dusk or night. Client documents stay quiet stationery. Research papers are a third lane (Termes letter, true 16:9 cool decks). Flip warm, cool, or fresh in the bar for paper. The orbit mark comes out for covers.

Their name is the largest type on every inner page. We are “Prepared by”, a whisper url, a small stone mark. Never a billboard.
Frosted D system. Geist. Navy as a bar, not a fill. Night photographs from above. No Inter, no halo. The live site already killed the ring. Tokens follow the picker.
A4 default, European uncoated, PDF through Chrome. Letter is a flag, not a redesign. Grain stays on screen so cheap lasers stay clean.
01b · Three vibes
Cream #FAFAF8, stone callouts, 14px corners, 3mm navy bar. Feels like a letter. Hospitality, brand, anything soft.
Steel paper, cyan hairline, sharper chrome. Spec energy. Rail is steel — not navy.
White. Everything light. The orbit stripe is the only color. No cream, no tint, no navy fill.
Same templates. One class: none, ima-cool, or ima-fresh. Don’t mix inside one delivery. The picker up top restyles tokens, paper, and the portal together.

Frosted D is the chrome: paper field, Geist, navy as a bar, frost nav pill. Photographs use overhead time. The camera is high. One person or one object holds still. Everyone else is a long-exposure streak. Dusk or full night. Downtown and waterfront. Cyan, violet, and magenta as motion, never as a page fill. Full rules in GUIDE.md.
Night photo cells get a navy fade and paper type. Bento stays four columns until 768px. Buttons contrast: ink fill on paper, pale fill on navy. Parent link color does not override a button.
Cream, wood, frost objects, and letters stay on stationery.
Blank phones and blank monitors. Type painted into the photo. Suburban housing. Empty marina. Invented pier. Captions that invent neon or extra floors.
03c · Line icons · chosen 2026-11-04
Icons on paper use one style: a thick ink line with one flat color plate cut for each object, like a misregistered 1950s screen print. The plate covers the lower right of the object's main body and follows its outline just outside the line; its other edge is one loose curve across the body. Small parts such as steam, clips and handles stay uncolored. Plates cycle cyan, violet and magenta. Each set is drawn as one Grok image, so every icon in it comes out in the same hand. A script then makes the paper transparent and centers each icon at one size. The top row is How it works on www; below it are ten more icons in the same style.
For a new set, run this prompt with the subjects listed, as grok -p '…' --tools image_gen --allow image_gen, then run clean_sprites.py on the result. To match the sets above exactly, give Grok sprite-c-print.png as the style reference with image_edit. Full prompts: PROMPTS.md. Script: clean_sprites.py.
Thick confident line icons (heavy stroke, about twice a normal UI icon weight), rounded caps, a bit of attitude and personality, no text, no letters, no numbers, no people, no shadows, no gradients. 1950s screen-print style: a thick ink #17191E line drawing with one flat color plate cut for each object. The plate covers the lower right part of the object's main body, follows that body's own outline on its right and bottom sides a few pixels outside the ink line, like slightly misregistered print, and its other edge is one loose hand-cut curve sweeping diagonally across the body, so every plate has its own size and shape. Small parts (steam, clips, handles) stay uncolored. Plates cycle cyan #4EC3E0, violet #6B4DE8 and magenta #E04AA8. Never a generic round blob the same size behind every icon, never a drop shadow, never an offset copy of the outline. Flat warm paper background #FAFAF8 with nothing else on it, every icon centered in its own equal square cell at the same visual size.
03d · Illustrations · on hold for www
Small scenes for cards, drawn in 1950s flat geometric style: a sparse black ink line, mostly paper, one solid navy shape per scene, and small flat cyan and violet shapes. There are no orbit crescents, no shading and no text. Both scenes are drawn together as one Grok image, so they match. They were made for the two picture cards on the home page, which are on hold until the cards come back.
Grok draws both scenes in one image from one prompt. A second edit removes anything the style leaves out, such as orbit arcs or steam that reads like a question mark. On a page, each drawing sits in a 5:4 frame, 176px wide, with 56px of space above it and 64px below. The prompts and the edit are in PROMPTS.md.

Alex ChenRe: Email intake, scope and start date
Dear Alex,
Thank you for your time last week. This letter confirms what we agreed on the call, in the same language we used there. Nothing has been added.
We will install the email intake workflow on your mailbox, test it against live mail for five business days, and hand you a short operating note so your team can run it without us. Anything beyond that scope is a separate conversation, and I will raise it with you before any work begins.
To start, three things need to happen:
If any of this differs from your understanding, reply to this letter and we will correct it before we start.

07b · Client brand · paid option
By default the client's name leads on In Motion paper. A client who pays for full branding gets their own wordmark, colours and type from the cover to the last page, and no In Motion mark anywhere. Same build, same writing standard, their look. Example: a 20-page lender guide made in BVRNRATE's brand.
08 · Research papers & decision decks
Jake-facing evidence packs. Not client stationery. Letter papers use TeX Gyre Termes. Decision decks are true 16:9 IMA cool. Client name still leads on client paper; research question leads here.
US Letter, 1in margins, default \maketitle. Fancyhdr: short title left, Bytestream Research right, single center folio. Abstract = question + method + findings. No spend or Treg in body. Clone gold preamble from Creator Growth Metrics.
Build every decision deck from the deck kit (standard Rev 2, 4 Nov 2026): 960×540, Geist, one finding per slide as a full-sentence headline, the report’s own charts, two to four captioned illustrations, numbered sources. Internal decks carry the yellow Internal badge after the cover date. Look at every slide before handing over.
Point first. No AI-slop. Ship check before PDF. Carry a filled IMA-VOICE-LOCK.md beside every Jake-facing pack.
Method-theater ban: do not stage hygiene instructions as findings (e.g. “we didn’t invent TAM/CPM,” “honest research move is to say so”). Doing the honest thing is the default — not a contribution. One dry Methods note max; prefer silence.
Paper → Chief PASS → deck → Chief PASS → remirror. Downloads …-LATEX.pdf + …-DECK.pdf. Atlas under reports/YYYY-MM-DD-slug/. Chief must approve before remirror.
Lagom charts only. Same figure files in paper and deck. Full rules in GUIDE.md → Research → Dataviz.

Allowed: one dry Methods sentence for scope if needed; prefer silence. Missing number → say once beside the claim. Test: delete the sentence — does the reader lose a fact about the world, or only a reminder of agent instructions? If the latter, cut it.

How a job starts, what each side does, and who owns the software. Cool paper. Fill the client name, then send it with the agreement.
The paper both sides sign. Section 5: software Agents in Motion LLC creates stays its property, including software the client asked for. Payment buys permission to run it.
One job: scope, price, dates. Half before we start, half at handoff, unless this page names another split. On ownership, the agreement wins.
