Executive horizon

The executive horizon is the surface in Kewbed that turns the operational record into a forward-looking decision aid. For each trade across the planning window it pulls four numbers from the same underlying data: Allocated (committed assignments), Available (the rest of capacity that could still be sold or scheduled), Needed (demand from confirmed plus tentative projects) and Gap (the difference between needed and available). Reading those four numbers across a row tells a studio head where the shortage is forming before it becomes a hiring sprint or a project-slip conversation.

The horizon is intentionally tight on inputs. It does not try to replace a producer's weekly schedule. It surfaces the trades and time periods that demand a leadership decision, then drills back into the projects and people that compose each number when someone wants to understand why a gap is there. That separation between the horizon and the schedule is what keeps it usable for executives who only have a few minutes to read it.
