Glossary
Plain language for the booking terms Hadef AI uses.
If a term shows up in the product or the marketing and it's not immediately clear what we mean, it's in here. Short definitions. No jargon. No circular references.
Core terms
- Show Brain
- The persistent memory of your show. Voice notes, past guests, audience profile, tone rules, pitching intelligence. Every pitch draft is informed by it.
- Golden Thread
- The overlap between something a guest has said, something your audience cares about, and the unexplored question that sits at the intersection. The reason the pitch works.
- Hook Quote
- A verbatim line from a real public source, spoken by the guest, used as the opening of the pitch. Must pass QA Check 1 (accuracy) and Check 4 (ownership).
- Concept
- The episode premise. Not a topic. A premise includes the hook quote, the unexplored thread, the Hadef editorial lens, and the rationale for why this conversation with this guest at this moment is the one to have.
- QA Pass
- A pitch that cleared all five QA checks. Quote accuracy, URL liveness, specificity, quote ownership, confidence score. The bar for auto-greenlit pitches.
- Pipeline
- The eight stages a prospect moves through. Discover, Following, Drafting, QA, Sent, Replies, Booked, Declined. Visible as the funnel view inside the app.
- Following
- The watch list of guests you haven't pitched yet, or pitched and are waiting on. A new public signal from one of them puts a fresh angle back in your queue.
- Workflow
- A configurable send sequence, in development. Today the schedule is yours to keep and Hadef drafts and tracks against it.
- Signal
- A new public event involving a guest you're following. A podcast appearance, an article, a LinkedIn post. It surfaces in Following so you can decide whether the moment has changed.
- Pitch Package
- The published, shareable presentation of a pitch, in development. It will replace Google Drive links and PDF attachments.
- Transcript Coverage
- A quality label on the research output. STRONG (2+ valid transcripts), WEAK (1 valid or mixed), NONE (zero). Feeds into concept confidence scoring.
