How to read this page: Concept specification: this page documents a system TECH360 can build. It is not a delivered client project, a verified case study, a working demonstration or a measured outcome.
B · Problem & target users
What this system is designed to replace
- Content is planned in one tool, approved in another and published manually.
- Asset versions and captions drift apart before publishing.
- Performance is reviewed in screenshots rather than first-party data.
Target users
- Content planners
- Designers
- Approvers
- Analysts
C · Objectives & intended benefits
Design intent, not measured outcomes
- Plan content on one calendar with owners and states.
- Require approval of caption and asset as one unit.
- Publish through the platform API and record the result.
These are goals the build is designed to serve. No efficiency, revenue or conversion result is claimed.
D · Product overview
What the system is, and where it runs
A social operations console: content calendar, per-platform scheduling, asset library, approval step, and engagement capture where the platform API allows it.
Planner calendar
Month and week views with channel slots.
Review queue
Caption and asset versioned together.
Reporting view
Scheduled versus published versus failed.
Platforms listed describe the intended build. A specific engagement may narrow or extend them after scope approval.
E · Module inventory

Capabilities the system is designed to provide

F · Screen gallery
No verified product screenshots for this concept
This project has not been built, so there are no application screenshots to show. The image on this page is a generated concept visual, not a capture of working software. Presenting it as a product screenshot would misrepresent the system, so this section says so explicitly.
G · User journey
The intended path through the system
Step 1
Plan
A slot is created with owner, channel and objective.
Step 2
Create
Caption and asset versions are attached to the slot.
Step 3
Approve
An approver signs off the exact version pair.
Step 4
Publish
The approved pair is published and the provider reference stored.
H · Roles & permissions
Who can do what
| Role | Access boundary |
|---|---|
| Planner | Calendar and slots. |
| Designer | Assets for assigned slots. |
| Approver | Approve or reject exact versions. |
| Analyst | Read-only performance data. |
I · Architecture & API
Service boundary and HTTP surface
| Endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|
| POST /api/slots | Create or move a scheduled slot. |
| POST /api/approvals | Approve an exact captioned asset version. |
| POST /api/publish | Publish only an approved version pair. |
Endpoints are the intended contract. Authorisation is enforced server-side per role, never only in the interface.
J · Data entities
Core entities and relationships
| Entity | Relationship |
|---|---|
| Slot | Belongs to a calendar and channel. |
| AssetVersion | Belongs to one slot. |
| Approval | Binds one asset version and one caption version. |
| Publication | Belongs to one slot; records provider id and state. |
K · External integrations
Provider-dependent integration points
- Meta Graph API
- LinkedIn API
- X API
- Webhook feed source
- Social platform APIs
- Object storage
- Notification channels
- Analytics warehouse
Each integration is configured and accepted against the specific provider account before go-live.
L · AI & automation
Opportunities and their human gate
Draft caption variants for a planned asset.
Human gate: Approver selects and approves one variant.
Flag copy that may breach a platform policy.
Human gate: Advisory only; approver decides.
M · Security, privacy & accessibility
Controls the build is specified to enforce
- Platform tokens are stored encrypted and never exposed to the client.
- Publishing requires an approved version binding.
- Per-channel permissions limit who can publish.
Accessibility is treated as an acceptance criterion for keyboard, focus and contrast on every screen. No certification or audit result is implied.
N · Testing & quality assurance
What would have to be proven before handover
- Approval-binding tests (caption change invalidates approval).
- Provider failure and retry tests.
- Token rotation drill.
O · Deployment & hosting
Where and how it would run
- Scheduled worker plus web app
- Encrypted secret store
- Retry queue with dead-letter handling
P · Maintenance & scalability
Keeping it maintainable
- Channel adapters versioned separately
- Asset retention policy
- Rate-limit aware publishing
Q · Optional advanced features
Out of the initial scope, available later
- Multi-brand calendars
- Comment moderation queue
- Creative performance comparison
