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

MapQuestionKey Finding
Outcome MapWhat does success look like?Win rate >30%. 49% live but inaccessible — 2 blockers gate everything.
Value Stream MapWhere does time die?7% flow efficiency — 40h work in 35 days. Bid prep is #1 bottleneck.
Dependency MapWhat must happen first?3 hard deps (auth, permissions, ventures query). Fix 2 things → unlock 20 features.
Capability MapWhat can we actually do?31 capabilities: 20 live, 3 dormant, 5 partial, 2 broken, 1 gap.
A&IDHow do agents orchestrate?4 agents, 6 instruments, 4 loops. The answer library IS the moat.

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)
"Built for how they sell"Outcome: win rate >30%, 4 binary success measuresSprint 0: wire 3 dormant algorithms
"70% auto-fill, empty library"Value Stream: 7% flow efficiency, bid prep is #1 wasteSprint 1: seed library with 1 real RFP
"App complete, auth broken"Dependency: 3 hard deps, 14-day critical pathCommissioning: 32 components, % complete
"Six days wire three algorithms"Capability: 31 capabilities, 20 live, 3 dormantFeature/Function/Outcome: 41 rows with states
"Lost the bid nobody tracked"A&ID: 4 agents, 6 instruments, compound flywheelSprints 2-4: company entity, activity logging, data quality
