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)
- Set up backend project structure
- Create FastAPI server with Claude integration
- Implement basic context loading
- Create simple CLI for testing
- Begin frontend setup
Owner: JA + Claude
Target: Week 1 completion by Feb 19, 2026
