title: Patent-OS MVP to Pilot-Ready Transformation

insight: Transforming Patent-OS from 72% MVP to 95% Pilot-Ready by executing 40 stories across 5 phases to target $10K-$50K pilot deals

reasoning_chain: Current MVP at 72% completion not sufficient for enterprise pilots

reasoning_chain: Required components: cryptographic signing, database persistence, REST API, testing, deployment

reasoning_chain: Breaking into 5 logical phases ensures systematic delivery

reasoning_chain: Targeting first 3 prospects with complete suite before contact

source_context: plan out a research PRD to investigate market expectations... we need the complete suite before actually contacting these big companies


title: Ed25519 as Default Cryptographic Algorithm

insight: Replacing HMAC-SHA256 with Ed25519 as the default signing algorithm for stronger cryptographic proofs

reasoning_chain: Enterprise customers require stronger cryptographic guarantees than HMAC

reasoning_chain: Ed25519 provides better security properties and performance

reasoning_chain: Must maintain backwards compatibility with HMAC-SHA256 via algorithm parameter

reasoning_chain: Key versioning and rotation needed for enterprise requirements

source_context: POS-001: Set Ed25519 as Default Signing Algorithm - Replace HMAC-SHA256 with Ed25519 as the default cryptographic algorithm


title: PostgreSQL Replacing JSONL for Audit Trail

insight: Moving from JSONL file-based audit trail to PostgreSQL for production-grade data integrity and queryability

reasoning_chain: JSONL insufficient for production audit requirements

reasoning_chain: PostgreSQL provides ACID compliance and relational integrity

reasoning_chain: JSONB columns maintain flexibility for validation reports

reasoning_chain: Enables complex queries, filtering, and analytics

source_context: POS-012: Migrate Audit Trail to PostgreSQL - Replace JSONL audit trail with PostgreSQL storage


title: Five-Phase Execution Strategy

insight: Sequential phases ensure dependencies are met: Foundation → Database → API → Testing → Deployment

reasoning_chain: Phase 1 establishes cryptographic foundation other phases depend on

reasoning_chain: Phase 2 creates database layer that API will use

reasoning_chain: Phase 3 builds REST API on top of database and crypto

reasoning_chain: Phase 4 validates all components work together

reasoning_chain: Phase 5 packages everything for production deployment

source_context: PHASE 1: CRYPTOGRAPHIC FOUNDATION → PHASE 2: DATABASE LAYER → PHASE 3: REST API LAYER → PHASE 4: TESTING & VALIDATION → PHASE 5: DEPLOYMENT & DOCUMENTATION


title: Parallel Worker Execution Model

insight: Using AIVA Queen + 3 parallel Claude workers to execute 40 stories in 4-6 hours

reasoning_chain: 40 stories too many for single worker to handle efficiently

reasoning_chain: Stories naturally partition by layer (crypto, API, testing, deployment)

reasoning_chain: Parallel execution reduces timeline from days to hours

reasoning_chain: Budget minimal: Gemini Flash 2.0 at $0.0005/story

source_context: Execution: AIVA RWL + 3 Parallel Claude Workers | Timeline: 4-6 hours parallel execution


title: Pilot Pricing Target $10K-$50K

insight: Setting pilot program pricing in the $10K-$50K range for initial enterprise customers

reasoning_chain: Need to validate product-market fit with real enterprise customers

reasoning_chain: Price must be high enough to indicate value but low enough for pilot risk

reasoning_chain: First 3 prospects will be targeted with complete suite

source_context: Target: $10K-$50K Pilot Ready


title: From MCP Server to Production REST API

insight: Adding production FastAPI REST API layer on top of MCP server for enterprise consumption

reasoning_chain: MCP server designed for AI-to-AI communication

reasoning_chain: Enterprise customers need standard REST API with authentication

reasoning_chain: Rate limiting and WebSocket streaming for real-time updates

source_context: PHASE 3: REST API LAYER - FastAPI endpoints, authentication, rate limiting


title: Pre-Mortem Risk Analysis

insight: Identified key risks: PostgreSQL connection issues, Ed25519 key generation on Windows WSL, import conflicts, rate limiting

reasoning_chain: Elestio PostgreSQL latency could impact performance

reasoning_chain: Windows WSL environment may have crypto library issues

reasoning_chain: MCP server and API server import conflicts possible

reasoning_chain: Mitigation: Keep JSONL fallback, HMAC-SHA256 fallback, git branches per worker

source_context:
### What Could Fail?
1. PostgreSQL connection issues (Elestio latency)
2. Ed25519 key generation failures on Windows WSL
3. Import conflicts between MCP server and API server
4. Rate limiting during batch validation tests


title: Market Research PRD for Pilot Materials

insight: Creating research PRD to investigate market expectations for pilot programs including real-time visualizations, patent videos, and showcase materials

reasoning_chain: Need to understand what enterprise prospects expect from pilot programs

reasoning_chain: Visual demonstrations powerful for explaining patent mechanics

reasoning_chain: VEO3.1 can stitch 8-sec videos into 2-3 minute showcase

reasoning_chain: Tron-like internal world visualization can show patent mechanics in action

source_context: plan out a research PRD to investigate market expectations of the level and quality and components required to land a pilot program such as this. real-time visualisations, patent introduction video and showcase video


title: Merkle Tree Proofs for Batch Validation

insight: Adding Merkle tree proof generation enables verifiable batch validation without sharing full dataset

reasoning_chain: Batch validation endpoint needed for enterprise customers

reasoning_chain: Individual validations must be verifiable without full batch data

reasoning_chain: Merkle root provides cryptographic commitment to entire batch

reasoning_chain: Individual proofs show inclusion in batch

source_context: POS-004: Add Merkle Tree Proof Generation - GIVEN batch of N validations WHEN completed THEN Merkle root computed AND individual validation has Merkle proof


type: DIRECTIVE

title: Complete Suite Before Contact Strategy

insight: Kinan's directive that complete suite must be ready before contacting big companies for pilots

reasoning_chain: Cannot approach enterprise prospects with incomplete product

reasoning_chain: Complete suite = crypto + database + API + testing + deployment

reasoning_chain: Must achieve 95% pilot-ready before first contact

reasoning_chain: This drives the 40-story PRD execution priority

source_context: we need the complete suite before actually contacting these big companies


title: Certificate Generator for Validation Proof

insight: Creating human-readable validation certificates with cryptographic proof for customer-facing documentation

reasoning_chain: Enterprise customers need tangible proof of validation
