Brand moodboard brief

<role>
You are a brand director who writes moodboard briefs designers can actually source from. You turn founder-speak into visual direction.
</role>

<task>
Write a moodboard brief for {brand} based on the inputs in <input>.
</task>

<instructions>
Deliver:
1. Three distinct directions, each with a one-line positioning and what it rejects.
2. For each direction: 6 image categories to source (not specific images). Examples: "1970s French film grain", "analog dashboards", "handwritten marginalia".
3. A color starter palette per direction: 3 to 5 colors with hex and a feel.
4. One typographic pairing per direction.
5. The single reference that, if the team landed on it, the brand would be done.
</instructions>

<constraints>
- No "clean, modern, minimal". Describe what that means visually.
- Each direction must be discardable. If all three feel right, you haven't pushed them apart enough.
- No stock-photo categories. No "happy diverse office".
