Date: 2025-01-13 Status: ✅ READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION Overall Planning Maturity: 5.4/10 (improved from 3.4/10)

Quick Status

Aspect Status Score
Architecture Alignment ✅ Complete 7/10
MVP Scope Clarity ✅ Clear 6/10
Feature Specifications 🟡 Core specs ready 5/10
Operational Pipeline ✅ Right-sized 4/10
Strategic Foundation 🟡 Needs work 4/10
Can Development Start? ✅ YES —

Critical Decisions Made

1. Tech Stack: React 19 + Vite

  • Frontend: React 19 SPA
  • Build tool: Vite
  • Auth: Kinde React SDK (@kinde-oss/kinde-auth-react)
  • Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL + Edge Functions)
  • Hosting: Cloudflare Pages
  • ✅ All documentation aligned

2. MVP Notifications: Email Only

  • SendGrid for email notifications
  • WhatsApp deferred to Post-MVP Phase 2
  • ✅ Scope conflict resolved

3. CI/CD: Lean MVP Pipeline

  • Single main branch
  • One approval required
  • 60% code coverage target
  • Cloudflare Pages automatic deployment
  • No staging environment (use PR previews)
  • ✅ Right-sized for 3-person team

What's Ready

✅ Database Schema: Comprehensive 10-table design with RLS ✅ Authentication Spec: Complete Kinde React SDK implementation guide (verified) ✅ E8 Framework: Detailed specs for assessment, delegation, reporting ✅ Policy Management: Template versioning with board approval workflow ✅ Board Reporting: Rule-driven PDF generation spec ✅ Evidence Collection: Upload, tagging, and retrieval workflows ✅ Domain Discovery: 20-second onboarding hook ✅ CI/CD Pipeline: Realistic deployment strategy

What Needs Work (Before Sprint 1)

High Priority (2-3 days):

  1. Define provisional success metrics
  2. Time to first value target
  3. Onboarding completion rate

  4. E8 assessment completion

  5. Dashboard specifications

  6. Director dashboard wireframes + data requirements

  7. Management dashboard wireframes + data requirements

  8. Onboarding questionnaire flow

  9. 20-question logic and branching
  10. Data capture points
  11. Integration with E8 assessment

Medium Priority (Parallel with Sprint 1):

  1. Executive summary - Draft business narrative
  2. Implementation playbooks - Customer rollout steps

Low Priority (Post-Sprint 1):

  1. Clean up legacy Svelte references in secondary docs
  2. Operational metrics instrumentation plan

First 3 Tasks for Sprint 1

  1. Break down UI experiences into user stories
  2. Dashboard acceptance criteria
  3. Questionnaire flow definition

  4. Effort estimates

  5. Initialize React 19 + Vite repository

  6. Kinde Auth setup
  7. Supabase client configuration

  8. Project structure and routing

  9. Define and document success metrics

  10. Set provisional targets
  11. Embed in Sprint 1 objectives
  12. Include in Definition of Done

Risk Assessment

Risks Mitigated ✅

  • Architecture confusion → React stack aligned
  • Scope creep → WhatsApp removed, email only
  • Over-engineering → CI/CD right-sized
  • Team capacity mismatch → Realistic expectations set

Remaining Risks 🟡

  • Dashboard complexity: Can be managed with timeboxing
  • Metrics uncertainty: Provisional targets will be validated with real usage
  • 3-person bandwidth: Guard against scope creep during Sprint 1

Risk Mitigation

  • Define clear sprint boundaries
  • Timebox feature delivery
  • Keep specs lean and actionable
  • Iterate based on actual implementation learnings

Recommendation

BEGIN SPRINT 1 PLANNING IMMEDIATELY

The repository has sufficient planning maturity (5.4/10) to support MVP development. All critical blockers are resolved, the tech stack is aligned, and the scope is clear.

Remaining gaps are documentation tasks that should be addressed during Sprint 1 planning without blocking development start. The 3-person team can begin building with confidence.

Timeline: 2-3 days of Sprint 0 prep → Start Sprint 1 development
