Q4 2025 -- Direction Lock-in (Partial)

Question
Which parts of the system should be fixed, and which should intentionally remain open?

Validation

• Evaluated system stability, extensibility, and failure modes

• Compared trade-offs between early optimization and long-term flexibility

• Assessed readiness for scale versus risk of premature commitment

Decision
The core system direction was validated at a foundational level.
Scale strategy, product form, and data flywheel design were intentionally deferred.
