title: Patent-OS Pilot Readiness Gap

insight: Patent-OS is 72% pilot-ready but needs 90%+ for $10K pilots. Critical gaps: REST API, Ed25519 default, PostgreSQL audit, benchmarks.

reasoning_chain: AIVA built Patent-OS MCP server (835 lines, all 9 patents implemented)

reasoning_chain: Tested Triple-Gate validation - working successfully

reasoning_chain: Assessed cryptographic formats: HMAC-SHA256 (current), Ed25519 (recommended for production)

reasoning_chain: Calculated readiness score: 72% - gaps in API, audit storage, testing, docs

reasoning_chain: Determined 2 days of work needed for $10K pilot readiness

source_context: Patent-OS status report showed 72% readiness, 4 critical gaps identified for $10K pilot


title: Ed25519 as Default Signing Algorithm

insight: Ed25519 chosen as default cryptographic signature for commercial deals due to 128-bit security, speed, and patent alignment with P1.

reasoning_chain: Compared HMAC-SHA256 (current), SHA-256 (hash chains), Ed25519 (elliptic curve), RSA-PSS (traditional)

reasoning_chain: Ed25519 offers 128-bit security vs RSA's 112-bit

reasoning_chain: Ed25519 is 8000x faster than RSA verification

reasoning_chain: Used by Signal, WhatsApp, cryptocurrency - battle-tested

reasoning_chain: Maps directly to P1 Cryptographic Validation patent

source_context: Analysis showed Ed25519 as optimal for $10K-$50K pilots - cryptographically strongest per-byte


title: Pilot Readiness Roadmap

insight: Sequential approach: $10K pilot (85% ready) → $25K standard (65%) → $50K enterprise (40%) based on component availability.

reasoning_chain: $10K pilot requires: Triple-Gate + Ed25519 + Basic API = 85% ready

reasoning_chain: $25K adds: PostgreSQL audit + Dashboard = 65% ready

reasoning_chain: Prioritization: REST API → Ed25519 default → PostgreSQL → benchmarks

reasoning_chain: Estimated 2 days work for $10K pilot readiness

source_context: Assessed each deal size against current components and gaps
