Phase 6b priorities ← AI team
2026-07-04 16:35 UTC
Summary
- All three advisors reached unanimous consensus on prioritization order without dissent
- Token/cost dashboard tracker ranked #1 across all personas — rationale centers on observability and spend visibility as a prerequisite for scaling decisions
- Phase 3b persona runtime wiring ranked #2 — framed as core product infrastructure that blocks demos, customer acquisition, and everything built on top
- Phase 5b retrofit of 14 projects ranked #3 — consistently characterized as cleanup/maintenance work that should wait until the foundation is stable and generating real data

Transcript
**Eugene:** Which of these should ship first — token/cost dashboard tracker, Phase 5b retrofit of 14 projects, or Phase 3b persona runtime wiring? One-sentence recommendation each.
**Aria 👑:** **Token/cost dashboard tracker** — Ship this first; you need visibility into spend before scaling anything else.
**Phase 3b persona runtime wiring** — Second, because live personas are the product core and every demo depends on it.
**Phase 5b retrofit of 14 projects** — Last; retrofitting existing projects is cleanup, not momentum, and it waits until the foundation above is solid.
**Nexus 🔧:** **Token/cost dashboard tracker** — Ship it first; you can't make infrastructure decisions without observability into what the system is actually consuming.
**Phase 3b persona runtime wiring** — Second; the runtime is the load-bearing wall everything else bolts onto.
**Phase 5b retrofit** — Last, full stop; retrofitting 14 projects against an unwired runtime is rework on top of rework.
**Ledger 💰:** **Token/cost dashboard tracker** — Ship this first; without spend visibility you're flying blind on unit economics, and that's unacceptable before any scaling decision.
**Phase 3b persona runtime wiring** — Second; this is revenue-generating infrastructure, and every day it's unwired is a day you can't close a demo or book a customer.
**Phase 5b retrofit of 14 projects** — Last; this is a balance sheet cleanup item, not a P&L driver, and it belongs in the backlog until the two above are generating real data.
