| Growth experiment | Halfway. Nisal/Up/Siyang check-ins in progress. Exit feedback ~Apr 2. | [experiment-overview.md](people/experiment-overview.md) |
| Jian-Wei mentoring | Discovery done (Mar 4). 90-day: AWS cert + Cursor skill. | [jian-wei.md](people/jian-wei.md) |
| Prototype-first cycle | Cycle 2 wrapping up. Sway still attending stand-ups. Approach proven (3 prototypes Day 1, faster feedback loops). No formal measurement of the experiment yet. | [2026-03-log.md](devlogs/2026-03-log.md#cycle-2-kickoff-with-sway-mar-3) |
| Strategic positioning | Pitch delivered. Tatai confirmed Forge as viable host for Scoria. No pushback on bounded-context approach. Next: shareable prototype artifact (Week 4). | [strategic-landscape.md](strategic-landscape.md) |
| Engineer future proposal | Delivered and in the channel. Sway, Aaron, Charles, Tatai, Andries present. Window still open but not actively pushing. | [engineer-role-future-proposal.md](engineer-role-future-proposal.md) |
| Knowledge sharing culture | Team comms sent Mar 6 (#engineering). Subscription upgrade announced. Claude Code seats rollout announced via Up/#claude-ai. Training budget introduced. Knowledge sharing time allocation still unanswered. **Mar 10: AI Toolkit Course (3x45min) fully designed and shipped to GitHub. Mar 13: Session 1 booked for Mar 24, 14:00-15:00. First cohort: Edmond, Siyang, Jian-Wei.** | [devlogs/2026-03-log.md](devlogs/2026-03-log.md#up-claude-channel-mar-6), [exercises/_exercises.md](../../exercises/_exercises.md) |
| Budget accountability | Approach updated Mar 6: Cursor Ultra + Claude Max for main stack. $200/mo for external tools (Lovable, AWS, Krisp). Jaco to be training spend gatekeeper. **Mar 11:** New AWS account for training + clear-path; Tatai's card for billing; budget limits and policy rules before spend. | [budget-accountability.md](budget-accountability.md) |
| Senior hiring process | Take-home + pairing process built and validated. First candidate completed both stages. | [interviews/](../../work/interviews/) |
| Agent-first adoption | Agent-first is the default working mode for personal projects (skills, build-loops, Doef, Skepp). Scoria bounded-context mapping done (5 forge micro-lessons completed). Four cursor skills created. Ideation-engine dormant, may be absorbed into Skepp. | [agent-first-mindset.md](agent-first-mindset.md) |
| Slack integration (skepp-bot) | Bot deployed as macOS LaunchAgent (Mar 10). Active but low use due to minimal functionality. Part of the broader Skepp initiative. Needs review and write-up for potential lift-and-shift into the Skepp system proper. | [ops guide](../../guides/skepp-bot-launchd.md) |
