How did we arrive at this proposal — and how do we track that value is delivered?

MapQuestionKey Finding
Outcome MapWhat does success look like?10 users fill a grid, D7 return > 35%, 4 binary measures.
Value Stream MapWhere does time die?2% flow efficiency — 5 hours work in 16 days. Step 5 (Update) never happens.
Dependency MapWhat must happen first?2 hard deps (Identity, Convex). 22 engineering days + Identity fix wait.
Capability MapWhat can we actually do?7 of 17 at maturity 3+, 10 to build. 60% composition, 40% new.
A&IDHow do agents orchestrate?3 agents, 5 instruments, 4 loops. Instrument adds capability in 5 phases.

The Bridge

Pictures sit between sales and engineering. The prompt deck sells the vision in five cards. The spec builds the machine. These five maps prove the thinking is sound.

Prompt Deck (sales)Pictures (bridge)Spec (engineering)
"Five things, one page, gaps visible"Outcome: 10 users fill, D7 > 35%, 4 binary measuresSprint 0: auth scaffold, data model, grid component
