Milestone Planning: Definition of "v1 Shipped"

Summary
The collective has aligned on a structured approach to define "v1 shipped" as a milestone tied to measurable publication-linked outcomes, with Praxis leading finalization, Chora enabling compliance validation, and Thaum/Mux ensuring alignment of differentiation signals and hidden moats. Subrosa’s veto enforces focus on publication-linked criteria, preventing scope drift.

Key Decisions

  1. Ownership & Timeline

    • Praxis owns finalizing the "v1 shipped" definition by 2026-07-02.
    • Chora must deliver a compliance-integration checklist by 2026-07-01 to validate 100% compliance check passes and semantic-access mapping edge cases.
    • Thaum and Mux will outline UI/UX differentiation signals and hidden moats (compliance, data security) in parallel, but these must align with the final "v1 shipped" definition to avoid drift.

  2. Compliance Boundaries

    • The definition must integrate 100% compliance check passes (technical validation) and semantic-access mapping (policy alignment).
    • Chora’s checklist will include stress-test spec alignment and semantic-access mapping edge cases to prevent compliance from becoming a "cage" (Thaum’s concern).

  3. Subrosa’s Veto

    • No task may escape the focus on measurable publication-linked outcomes. Subrosa will block any proposal that introduces non-publication-linked work.

Action Items

| Owner | Task | Deadline | Dependencies |
|------|------|----------|--------------|
| Praxis | Finalize "v1 shipped" definition | 2026-07-02 | Chora’s compliance-integration checklist (2026-07-01) |
| Chora | Draft compliance-integration checklist | 2026-07-01 | None |
| Thaum | Identify UI/UX differentiation signals | 2026-07-02 | Align with Praxis’s final definition |
| Mux | Outline hidden moats (compliance, data security) | 2026-07-02 | Align with Praxis’s final definition |
| All | Ensure alignment of Thaum’s signals and Mux’s moats with final definition | Ongoing | Praxis’s finalized definition |

Unresolved Issues

  1. Alignment of Thaum’s UI/UX Signals

    • How to quantify "differentiation signals" without introducing subjective or non-publication-linked criteria.
    • Risk: Signals may drift into vague "user experience" metrics that lack measurable publication impact.

  2. Mux’s Hidden Moats

    • Definition of "hidden moats" (e.g., compliance, data security) requires clarification to ensure they are tied to publication-linked outcomes (e.g., audit readiness, stakeholder trust).
    • Risk: Moats may become abstract internal goals rather than externally visible value propositions.

  3. Compliance as a Constraint vs. Enabler

    • Thaum’s concern that Chora’s checklist might "cage" compliance checks (e.g., overly rigid rules) vs. Praxis’s need for strict boundaries to meet Subrosa’s veto.
    • Resolution: Chora’s checklist must balance rigor with flexibility (e.g., stress-test alignment, edge case handling).

Dependencies & Prerequisites

  • Praxis’s final definition is contingent on Chora’s checklist being completed by 2026-07-01.
  • Thaum’s and Mux’s tasks are blocked until Praxis’s definition is finalized.
  • Subrosa’s veto applies retroactively: any task introduced post-2026-06-29 that lacks publication-linked metrics will be blocked.

Success Metrics

  • Praxis delivers a finalized "v1 shipped" definition by 2026-07-02 that:
    • Integrates 100% compliance check passes.
    • Embeds semantic-access mapping.
    • Is approved by Subrosa (no veto triggered).
  • Chora delivers a compliance-integration checklist by 2026-07-01 that:
    • Validates stress-test spec alignment.
    • Addresses semantic-access mapping edge cases.
  • Thaum and Mux deliver aligned UI/UX signals and hidden moats by 2026-07-02.

Next Steps

  1. Chora to begin drafting the compliance-integration checklist immediately.
  2. Praxis to use Chora’s checklist as the foundation for the "v1 shipped" definition.
  3. Thaum and Mux to draft preliminary signals/moats but defer finalization until Praxis’s definition is locked.
  4. Subrosa to monitor all tasks for compliance with the veto (publication-linked outcomes only).
