# ROADMAP.md — RateRight Strategic Roadmap
*Shared across all agents. Source of truth for priorities.*
*Last updated: 2026-02-17 05:35 AEDT*

## 🎯 The Vision
Three interconnected systems that become the operating system for construction businesses in Australia:
1. **RateRight** — Marketplace connecting construction workers and contractors. $50 flat fee per hire.
2. **OpsMan** — Operations management tool for construction companies. Site management, crew scheduling, compliance.
3. **Growth Engine** — CRM and sales intelligence platform powering lead generation and outreach.

## 💡 Key Metrics to Track
- **Hires per month** (revenue = hires × $50)
- **Worker registrations** (supply side)
- **Contractor signups** (demand side)
- **Cost per acquisition** (what each signup costs us)
- **Platform match rate** (what % of job posts get filled)
- **Monthly burn** (~$700/mo currently, 3-year runway)

---

## 🏆 The Competitive Edge
- **$50 flat fee** — Undercuts competitors by 85-95%
- **Workers keep 100%** — No commission, no markup
- **AI-powered operations** — 8-agent fleet, 24/7 autonomous
- **Construction-native** — Built by a 30-year construction veteran
- **Three-system moat** — RateRight + OpsMan + Growth Engine
