View address

A view address names one view by its scope, its Role and its window. Every view is a point in that space, so none is designed by hand.

GrammarCopy Anchor Link

view:<scope>?role=<role>&w=<window>&env=<live|test>&asOf=<watermark>

Views are not stored. A Dashboard is a record, but the view it fills is computed on every read from the address and the records behind it.

ScopesCopy Anchor Link

Scope and Role combine freely. view:portfolio:b2c-marketplaces?role=marketing is marketing across every b2c marketplace in the Portfolio. view:person:ana-reyes is the union of every Role that person holds, in every Startup.

WindowsCopy Anchor Link

The window is a horizon value. Its horizon picks the base Dashboard, so the same scope reads as a day's work, a week's review or a year's plan.

Live and as ofCopy Anchor Link

Views are live by default: each number is as fresh as the last Event behind it. asOf pins a view to one watermark, so every reader and every rendering sees the same numbers.

The weekly review uses both. It reads the week view as of the week's close, while the founder's phone shows live numbers from the same resolver. env=test resolves the same address over records written in test Mode.

Every surfaceCopy Anchor Link

One address opens everywhere. An agent fetches it through MCP; a phone, a watch or a script reads it through the API.

{ "name": "fetch", "arguments": { "id": "view:permitfeed.dev?role=sales-lead&w=2026Q4W4" } }

curl "https://api.sb/views/permitfeed.dev?role=sales-lead&w=2026Q4W4" \
  -H "Accept: text/markdown" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STARTUP_BUILDER_API_KEY"

Every Role, Team and Metric page links its address, and every Markdown block a view renders states its address on its first line. A citation copied from an agent's reasoning opens the same view for the person reading it.
