[Session Log] Notion → Open Brain bridge: Built and tested the Notion sync pipeline. Queried Notion Projects database (ID: 2ced1125-90e3-8162-ae59-d5720c2b86ff) and successfully pushed 2 test projects into Open Brain. Set up a local Cowork scheduled task (daily 4am) and saved cloud task instructions at reference/instructions/notion-sync-cloud-task.md for future migration to Claude Code cloud scheduled tasks. Key finding: TATTOO HQ page uses linked database views — must query source databases directly (Projects DB: 2ced1125-90e3-8162-ae59-d5720c2b86ff, Intake Submissions DB: 2cfd1125-90e3-8097-8aae-db0565f33a77). This completes capture point 8 of 9 for Open Brain. Remaining: Instagram signals.

[Medicaid Application] Session 6 continued - Lauren's appointments added to Notion. Pulled events from laurentedder01@gmail.com Google Calendar (Feb 2025-Feb 2026). Filtered ~200 calendar events down to 38 confirmed tattoo appointments (Jun 7 2025-Feb 27 2026). Filtering rules: excluded non-tattoo events (Ronen/Ro entries = son, medical/dental/eye appointments, social hangouts, birthdays, pet care "Heart and flea Monte/Fonzie", Water due reminders, taxes, yard sales, parties, trips, concerts). Excluded touch ups and consultations per Dave's instruction. Excluded any client without a Jotform release form (release form = source of truth). Excluded entries already on Dave's Notion calendar (Tailynn Turner 07/26 was on both). Key client mappings from calendar nicknames: Dakota = Dakota George, Bwizzle = Brittany White (social, excluded - no release form), Mandy = Amanda Jarvis, all Kristin entries = social per Dave. Added "Artist" select property (Dave/Lauren) to Client Appointments database. All 76 existing = Dave, 38 new = Lauren. Total now 114 entries. Important technical learning: Notion MCP tool permissions do NOT propagate to Claude Code background subagents. Had to do all 114 updates directly rather than via parallel agents.

Dave Tedder built Dashboard HQ, a Notion-based productivity system he plans to sell as a modular product line. Four SKUs: Core Productivity ($39-59), Productivity + Content ($79-99), Productivity + Tattoo ($99-149), Complete Bundle ($149-199). Primary marketplaces: Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy. The v3.2 foundation was locked as of December 2025.

Dave Tedder's Notion workspace has a key page called TATTOO HQ used as a central hub for business operations. The workspace has gone through several iterations of database schemas from iterative builds, so active databases (with real data) should be distinguished from template stubs.

As of March 2026, Dave Tedder uses Notion Business for project management, CRM, and knowledge base. His workspace follows a PARA-influenced structure with Eisenhower matrix prioritization. Key page: TATTOO HQ. Known issue: the workspace contains several generations of the same database schema from iterative builds, so always confirm which database set is active before making changes.
