## 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

## 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
