Your dashboard: what needs you, what doesn't
Your dashboard groups everything by one question: who has to do it? Three bands, and the point of the grouping is that most of the time only one of them is asking anything of you.
Running now
What is happening without you — the engine finding and closing gaps on your plan's schedule, what it published this week, what we're measuring, and the topics being tracked. Everything here is a fact about your account, not a promise about the product. If your plan runs the engine on demand rather than on a schedule, this band will not claim otherwise — it will say so, and the "Run now" control appears in the band below instead. If nothing is running yet, it says that too. "Not yet" is a real answer and we would rather give it than pad the list.
Only you can do this
The things we genuinely cannot do for you: adding an AI engine, connecting somewhere to publish, fixing something on your own site, or releasing the engine if you paused it. Blockers come first — if AI crawlers cannot read your site at all, nothing else is worth doing until that clears. An empty band here is a result, not a gap in the page. It means nothing is waiting on you, and it says so.

Optional. Every row states what it costs — your own API credits, a post on a feed you own, an upgrade — because an option offered without its price reads as free.
There is no progress bar and no "dismiss". The old checklist had both, and it told a perfectly healthy account it was 40% finished forever — two of its five rows described work the engine did by itself. These bands are a state of affairs, not a course to complete.
