The opportunity queue, where it brings work to you

Your Chief of Staff watches for things worth acting on and queues them with the evidence behind each one. You decide what it prepares, and how often it is allowed to interrupt you.

Most of what costs you money is not a task you forgot. It is a thing you never noticed: a deal that went quiet, a lead nobody followed up, a promise you made in passing three weeks ago.

The Opportunities tab is your Chief of Staff noticing those for you. It watches what is happening across your Noli apps and queues what looks worth your attention, with the reasoning attached.

What it looks for

A lead nobody followed up on after it came in.
A deal that has gone quiet and is drifting past the point where it usually closes.
A project that has stalled against its own plan.
A commitment at risk, something you said you would do that is coming due.
A gap or a conflict in what it knows about your business, where getting an answer from you would make everything downstream better.
A handoff between apps that never completed.
Setup you started and never finished, where a little more configuration unlocks real value.

Every item shows its evidence

An item is not just a nudge. It carries what your Chief of Staff thinks should happen, the outcome it is aiming at, and how sure it is.

Confidence is stated plainly as verified, likely, or tentative. Verified means it checked. Tentative means it is a hunch worth your judgment. You will know which one you are looking at before you act on it, so a guess never gets dressed up as a fact.

What happens when you act

Items move through a clear set of states, so nothing is ambiguous.

Open. Noticed and queued, nothing done yet.
Preparing and Prepared for review. It has done the work and is waiting on you.
Needs approval. The action is consequential, so it goes through your approvals inbox.
Completed or Already handled. Done, or you handled it yourself.

You can open the next step, mark something completed, push a prepared item through approvals, or tell it never suggest this so that kind of item stops surfacing.

Control how often it interrupts you

This is the part worth setting up front, because a proactive assistant you cannot turn down becomes noise. Under the attention and interruption settings you control:

Whether the queue runs at all.
Quiet hours, a start and end time when it will not interrupt you.
A maximum number of interruptions per day and per week. It respects these.
Which kinds it may never raise. Mute the categories you do not care about.
Where it reaches you. In-app always, with email and push optional.

The briefing

Rather than being pinged item by item, you can have the queue arrive as a single briefing, daily or weekly, at a day and hour you choose in your own timezone. For most people this is the better setting: one considered summary you actually read, instead of a stream you learn to ignore.

If the queue is empty

An empty queue is a real answer, not a failure. It means nothing it can stand behind needs you right now. Your Chief of Staff does not invent work to look busy.
