Priority Features (Next Sprint)

High Priority

  1. FastAPI backend with Claude integration
  2. Basic web interface
  3. Context loading from files
  4. Document generation

Medium Priority

  1. Git connector
  2. Role-based responses
  3. Usage logging
  4. Docker deployment

Low Priority (Later)

  1. Mobile apps
  2. Advanced analytics
  3. White-label features
  4. API marketplace

Technical Decisions Log

February 12, 2026:

  • Decision: Use FastAPI for backend (proven with UTILEN)
  • Rationale: Team familiar, fast, good async support
  • Decision: Use React/Next.js for frontend
  • Rationale: Modern, good ecosystem, SSR capabilities
  • Decision: Start with Claude API (not self-hosted models)
  • Rationale: Faster development, proven quality, can add self-hosted later
  • Decision: PostgreSQL for metadata/users
  • Rationale: Reliable, team familiar, good performance
  • Decision: Self-hosted first, cloud later
  • Rationale: Matches go-to-market strategy, proves data sovereignty

Success Criteria

MVP Success (Month 3)

  • 100% Vector Zulu team adoption
  • 5+ queries per user per day
  • 3+ artifacts generated per user per week
  • 80% reduction in "where's that file?" questions
  • Positive feedback from all departments

Beta Success (Month 6)

  • 5+ beta customers
  • 80%+ user activation within each company
  • 3+ written testimonials
  • <5% churn rate

Launch Success (Month 12)

  • 20+ paying customers
  • $50k+ MRR
  • <5% monthly churn
  • Product-market fit validated

Known Risks & Mitigation

Risk: Development takes longer than expected

  • Mitigation: Start extremely simple, iterate based on usage
  • Mitigation: Use AI to accelerate development (meta!)

Risk: Vector Zulu team doesn't adopt

  • Mitigation: Involve team early in design
  • Mitigation: Solve real pain points they have today
  • Mitigation: Make it obviously better than current workflows

Risk: AI costs too high

  • Mitigation: Implement caching strategies
  • Mitigation: Use Sonnet for simple queries, Opus for complex
  • Mitigation: Monitor costs closely, optimize prompts

Next Actions (Immediate)

  1. Set up backend project structure
  2. Create FastAPI server with Claude integration
  3. Implement basic context loading
  4. Create simple CLI for testing
  5. Begin frontend setup

Owner: JA + Claude
Target: Week 1 completion by Feb 19, 2026
