# Roadmap

The roadmap protects the editorial heartbeat from product sprawl.

## Now: authored foundation

- Establish the masthead, author identity, domain, and book details.
- Publish the weekly briefing and a sustainable original-story cadence.
- Bring the existing podcast archive and transcripts home.
- Launch three genuinely useful field guides.
- Publish a clear correction log and recent-maintenance ledger.
- Build an editorial buffer before promising a public weekly rhythm.

## Next: useful archive

- Add annotated links only when the weekly workflow can sustain them.
- Render passage-level Git history without turning articles into issue trackers.
- Introduce confidential correction intake and measured public challenge handling.
- Add durable topic and relationship navigation after real reporting reveals the useful shapes.

## Later: participation

- Contextual contributor signals, never global scores.
- Small events or correspondence formats before a community platform.
- Professional briefing only after the free editorial rhythm is demonstrably sustainable.

## Explicit non-goals

- No accounts, comments, likes, follower counts, global karma, or vendor marketplace.
- No database until a proven reader need requires one.
- No public reporting notebook or confidential-source material.
- No claim that Git history makes reporting true.
