JTBD Function Superset
Before you build, know what's worth building.
This is the demand map for the entire Mycelium. Three registers cover every job a venture could need — from auth to tokenomics, from legal tech to construction payments, from hot wallets to multisig. Features that score high enough earn a PRD and become shared capabilities. Everything else gets partnered or skipped.
The Three Registers
| Register | What It Covers | Features | Key Question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horizontal SaaS | 150 features across 20 categories — auth, billing, data, AI, blockchain, UI | 150 | Where do we have unfair advantage? |
| Vertical SaaS | Industry opportunities scored by lucrativity, effort, and market size | 5 verticals | Which vertical do we enter first? |
| Crypto Wallets | Wallet types, threat vectors, security checklist, marketplace | All chains | How do we make the next action safe and obvious? |
Scoring Methodology
Every horizontal feature is scored on four dimensions (1-10 each):
| Dimension | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Current | How much capability exists today |
| Fit | How well it fits the platform architecture |
| Value | How much customers care |
| Edge | How differentiated we are vs alternatives |
Priority = (Current + Fit + Value + Edge) / 4 x Edge
Edge is the multiplier. High-value commodities (payments, auth) score high on Value but low on Edge — partner for these. High-edge capabilities (multi-agent orchestration, smart contracts) compound — own these.
Top 10 by ROI
The highest-scoring features across the entire superset, ordered by priority score:
| Rank | Category | JTBD | Priority | Status | Mycelium PRD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AI Workflow | Multi-Agent Orchestration | 94.5 | CORE | Workflow Engine |
| 2 | Blockchain | Smart Contracts | 76 | CORE | Sui Wallet Safety |
| 3 | Blockchain | Tokenomics | 76 | ACTIVE | Sui Wallet Safety |
| 4 | Collaboration | Knowledge Mgmt | 76 | STRONG | Agent Platform |
| 5 | AI Workflow | Process Automation | 67.5 | OPPORTUNITY | Intelligence Functions |
| 6 | AI Workflow | Document Intelligence | 67 | STRONG | Intelligence Functions |
| 7 | Developer Tools | CI/CD Automation | 67 | STRONG | — |
| 8 | Emerging | API Development | 67 | STRONG | Data Interface |
| 9 | Security | Audit Logging | 60 | STRONG | Commissioning |
| 10 | Marketing | Customer Support | 60 | STRONG | Intelligence Functions |
9 of the top 10 already have a Mycelium PRD. The one that doesn't — CI/CD Automation — is developer tooling that compounds through the engineering repo, not here.
Critical Gaps
Features that score high on Value but have no Mycelium PRD yet:
| Gap | Value Score | Blocks | Next Step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embedded Payments | 10 | All verticals — 20-40% revenue uplift | Write PRD (P0) |
| Identity/Auth | 10 | Every venture needs auth | Evaluate: build or partner |
| Real-Time (WebSockets) | High | Live dashboards, agent comms | Covered partially by Agent Platform |
| Compliance Framework | High | Healthcare, financial verticals | Extend Commissioning |
Resource Allocation
| Tier | Effort | Rule | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core (own it) | 80% | Build capabilities where Edge > 7 | Multi-agent orchestration, smart contracts, knowledge mgmt |
| Strategic (invest selectively) | 15% | Build when it unlocks a specific vertical | Compliance, APIs, DeFi, decentralized ID |
| Opportunistic (partner or skip) | 5% | Build only when a customer pays upfront | Communication, shipping, native mobile |
The Loop
SUPERSETS (score demand)
→ MYCELIUM PRDs (spec highest-ROI capabilities)
→ MUSHROOM CAPS (prove in one venture)
→ COMMISSION (verify against spec)
→ SCALE (promote to platform primitive)
The supersets are the input. The Mycelium PRDs are the output. The mushroom caps are the proving ground. Nothing scales until it's commissioned.
