Attention Scoring

Brightenly automatically scores each project based on signals that indicate it may need your attention — so you can focus on the right work without manually reviewing every open project.

What it looks at

Attention scores are calculated from a combination of factors including:

• How long a project has been in its current pipeline stage
• Whether there are outstanding invoices with no activity
• Whether a project has had no recent activity (no comments, no email, no status change)
• Whether a project is completed but has an unpaid invoice

The exact weighting of these factors is proprietary and continues to be refined over time.

How scores surface in Brightenly

High-attention projects appear as cards on your dashboard, highlighted so you can act on them quickly. A score badge may also appear on the project card in your kanban board.

Dismissing an alert

If you've reviewed a project and decided it doesn't need action right now, click Dismiss on its attention card. It will be removed from the dashboard until its score changes again.

Use cases

Attention scoring is most useful when you have many open projects. Common scenarios it catches:

• A proposal you sent two weeks ago with no follow-up
• A completed project where the invoice hasn't been sent yet
• A client who hasn't responded to your last email
