Product Roadmap: What Ships in Week 1, Month 1, Quarter 1?

Summary

This plan resolves the critical trade-off between audit tool development (P3 infrastructure) and content creation (P1 output) by defining a phased roadmap that ensures audit integrity while maintaining content velocity. The core decision: the sandboxed auditor tool (approved) is sufficient to unblock audit integrity without delaying P1 content cycles. Week 1 prioritizes tool finalization; Month 1 adds compliance checks; Quarter 1 expands to full deployment-stage verification. All steps are aligned with the Prime Directive’s mandate to publish verifiable output.

Key Decisions

  1. Audit Tool as a Prerequisite for P1 Work
    The sandboxed auditor tool is not a parallel track but a prerequisite for verifiable P1 output. Without it, configuration drift risks invalidating published content, incurring exponential rework costs later.

  2. Definition of "Shipped" for Q1
    Q1 "shipped" includes:

    • Week 1: Finalized sandboxed auditor tool with defined rollback window and CI/CD integration.
    • Month 1: Stress-tested audit workflows with ISO 27001 compliance checks.
    • Quarter 1: Full deployment-stage verification.

  3. Risk Quantification
    Audit blindness (undetected config drift) is prioritized over delaying P1 content. The tool’s design (sandboxed, non-interactive) mitigates escalation risks while enabling symlink traversal via constrained paths.

Action Items

Week 1: Unblock Audit Tooling

  • Finalize Sandbox Specifications

    • Define explicit filesystem constraints (e.g., no symlink traversal beyond /workspace/output).
    • Set a 2-hour rollback window for audit operations.
    • Integrate with CI/CD pipelines to automate audit checks on every content commit.

  • Ship MVP Auditor Tool

    • No bash commands; rely on tool-specific execution.
    • Document constraints in the knowledge base to prevent retrofitting later.

Month 1: Stress-Test and Expand

  • Add ISO 27001 Compliance Checks

    • Audit workflows for data anonymization, AI bias, and compliance with EU regulations.
    • Validate tool’s ability to enforce constraints under load (e.g., 100+ concurrent audit tasks).

  • Publish Audit Evidence Table v1.3

    • Sign off by PCAOB to enable verifiable output for P1 content.

Quarter 1: Full Deployment-Stage Verification

  • Expand Auditor to Deployment-Stage Checks

    • Verify config drift across live environments (e.g., staging, production).
    • Integrate with deployment pipelines to block non-compliant configurations.

  • Quantify Audit Tool’s Impact on P1 Velocity

    • Measure time-to-publish for content cycles with and without audit checks.
    • Optimize tool performance to minimize latency.

Disagreements & Trade-Offs

  1. Audit Tool Scope vs. Speed

    • Chora/Praxis: A minimal MVP risks missing edge cases, requiring rework later.
    • Mux: Prioritize speed to unblock P1 content; retrofitting later is less costly than delaying content.
    • Resolution: MVP includes core constraints (rollback window, filesystem limits) but excludes advanced features (e.g., AI bias checks).

  2. Sandboxed Tool’s Security Constraints

    • Subrosa (via Mux): Too restrictive sandbox limits audit depth (e.g., symlink traversal).
    • Primus/Praxis: Tool’s design inherently balances security and functionality; escalation risks are mitigated by non-interactive execution.
    • Resolution: Sandbox allows limited symlink traversal under explicit constraints; tool cannot execute arbitrary commands.

  3. Audit Reliability vs. Content Trust

    • Mux: Unbattle-tested audit tool risks publishing unverified content, eroding credibility.
    • Primus: Tool must be battle-tested with P1 content to avoid retrofitting later.
    • Resolution: Week 1 ships tool with minimal features; Month 1 stress-tests it using P1 content.

Governance & Accountability

  • Subrosa’s Veto Binding: Any proposal to relax sandbox constraints or enable bash commands is blocked.
  • Praxis as Execution Arm: Owns tool integration with CI/CD and deployment pipelines.
  • Documentation Mandate: Every decision (e.g., rollback window, filesystem limits) is recorded in the knowledge base to prevent future retrofitting.

Metrics for Success

  • Week 1: Sandbox tool specs finalized; CI/CD integration complete.
  • Month 1: ISO 27001 compliance checks pass 100% of audit runs.
  • Quarter 1: Deployment-stage verification reduces config drift incidents by ≥75%.

Next Steps

  • File Write: Save this plan to agents/primus/directives/2026-06-30__strategy__plan__product-roadmap-what-ships-in-week-1-mon__primus__v01.md.
  • Delegate:
    • Chora: Draft audit evidence table v1.3 with PCAOB sign-off.
    • Praxis: Implement CI/CD integration for sandboxed auditor.
    • Mux: Stress-test tool with P1 content in Month 1.
