About Briefd

Briefd was built by Eric Haight, Principal and Founder, to close one specific gap: the distance between the work independent advisors do on retainer and the monthly narrative that communicates it to the client.

Working closely with independent strategy and management consulting practices, one pattern holds consistently. The engagement produces real value. The client receives it. But at the end of every month, the update that should communicate that value requires hours the advisor does not have. Raw notes, a voice memo, a document from a working session. The work is clear. Getting it into prose that makes the client feel the full weight of the month is a different task entirely.

Briefd closes that gap. Drop a month of captures: typed notes, voice memos, uploaded documents. The tool assembles them into a polished, prose-based engagement update in the advisor's own voice, connected to that client's specific goals and the full arc of the engagement. What used to require a Sunday evening now takes minutes.

The product is built for independent management and strategy advisors and consultants on retainer, who bill for strategic judgment and need their reporting to reflect that standard.

Briefd is in its founding phase. Charter members join a product being shaped in close conversation with the advisors using it. The first narrative is included, no card required.
