Last week's plan previewed moving into procurement engine and user journey
specifications. Instead, we stepped back and rewrote the entire execution
roadmap to create a more rigorous, trackable plan — then committed it
to the repository so progress can be measured against concrete stages.
With that foundation in place, we documented how every part of the
system can grow beyond V1 and entered the architecture sign-off review.
The review confirmed the design is sound, but found edge cases in the data
layer that our automated checks were not truly catching. We're fixing those
now rather than shipping tests that give a false sense of confidence.
Stage 2.6: Conditional Hold — Raising the Quality Bar
The architecture design review passed — every rule the system must
follow was verified and no future feature was prematurely built. However,
our second review pass found that some automated tests were passing without
truly exercising the hard cases: missing data, seasonal gaps, duplicate
records, and incomplete supplier eligibility checks. We chose to fix the
tests and underlying rules now rather than carry forward false confidence.
The remaining sign-offs are on a separate track and not blocked by this work.

Key Highlights
Execution roadmap rewritten and committed for tracking.
Rather than continuing with the previous informal plan, we created a
definitive 536-line roadmap that maps every step from foundation through
production launch. Each stage now has clear entry criteria, deliverables,
and quality gates — making progress measurable and giving our
AI coding agents an unambiguous execution plan. This replaces the
looser outline previewed in last week's report.
Documented how the system scales beyond V1.
We mapped 76 product capabilities across five growth horizons: what's core
to the platform, what ships in V1, what's designed for later, what's
explicitly deferred, and what's off-limits without a formal product decision.
This ensures we can add new data sources, commodity types, and predictive
models in the future without redesigning the foundation.
Full architecture design review passed.
Every design rule the system must follow — from data isolation to
security boundaries — was independently verified against this week's
extension documents. No future feature was prematurely built, and no
existing design constraint was weakened.
Crop-data contracts redesigned for accuracy.
The review found that our satellite and crop-data contracts were mixing
raw observations with calculated assessments and lacked precise version
tracking. The new v2 design cleanly separates what the data source reports
from what our system concludes, with full traceability — backed by
new test suites covering both valid and invalid scenarios.
Supplier data pipeline redesigned for completeness.
The data flow that connects external certification sources to supplier
profiles had missing branches and incorrectly attributed some steps.
A redesigned v2 pipeline now covers all data paths including trade-show
leads, while preserving the original as a historical record.
Automated quality checks significantly expanded.
Over 2,200 lines of new test logic were added to verify the redesigned
crop-data and supplier-pipeline contracts. All five automated test suites
pass on the current version.
Commit Velocity
Tuesday spike reflects the roadmap creation day: the definitive roadmap,
its V1-scoped expansion, repository anatomy, phase renumbering, and
the first capability horizon map — all shipped in a single day.

Current Status
Architecture design is done; final sign-off is pending.
All five scalability documents are accepted and consistent with the
product foundation. The only remaining step is closing Stage 2.6 —
specifically the data-layer edge cases found during review.
We're raising the bar, not patching around problems.
Some automated tests were passing without truly proving the hard cases:
what happens with missing data, seasonal gaps, duplicate supplier records,
and incomplete eligibility checks. We're fixing the underlying rules and
tests now so the sign-off represents genuine quality.
All five automated test suites currently pass.
Schema validation, import-data checks, supplier-data checks, logistics
verification, and external-source checks all pass. The final step is
re-running everything after the edge-case fixes are committed.
Stakeholder approvals are on a separate track.
Product, architecture, security, data, compliance, and procurement
sign-offs are required to formally establish the architecture baseline.
These are pending but not blocked by the technical repair work.
What's Next
Closing Stage 2.6 — Architecture Sign-Off
1Fix crop-data edge cases.
Tighten the rules for missing data, seasonal gaps, duplicate records,
and method compatibility in the satellite/crop-data contracts.
2Fix supplier-pipeline edge cases.
Close gaps in eligibility checks and data-relationship tracking
in the external supplier pipeline.
3Full automated revalidation.
Run all five test suites against the final version and record
the results as formal evidence.
4Independent review and stakeholder approvals.
Get an independent technical review and six stakeholder sign-offs
to formally establish the architecture baseline.
Phase 3 — V1 Feature Admission (Unlocked by Stage 2.6)
3.1Build the V1 feature inventory.
List every feature that will ship in V1, define their dependencies,
and determine what test environments each one needs.
3.2Close open technology decisions.
Formally accept, reject, or replace the five pending infrastructure
choices before features that depend on them can be approved.
