# CURRENT.md — Single Source of Truth
_Updated: 2026-03-05 23:22 AEDT_

## Direction
- **EMERGENCY MODE (from Michael): system stabilization is the only priority until complete.**
- Worker acquisition and other initiatives are paused unless directly required to restore system reliability.
- Launch posture remains national from day one once worker supply is seeded.
- Core value prop unchanged: $50 flat fee, unlimited duration, workers pay $0.
- Rivet authority active: internal routing/approvals handled without Michael unless external/customer-facing/money/strategy shift.
- **Operating rule from Michael (hard): Execute by default. No repeated approval loops. Escalate only for legal risk, major financial risk, security incident, or customer harm.**

## Active Decisions (Waiting on Michael)
1. Approve/adjust Susan’s next contractor-call and worker-outreach sequencing once her refreshed pack lands.
2. Confirm whether to ship immediate messaging update about duplicate-reply incident if recurrence continues after patch.

## Rivet Decisions (My Authority)
1. Assigned Susan a 6:15pm worker-acquisition execution pack (targets, scripts, follow-up, KPI tracker).
2. Assigned Harper a rapid unblock + Day-1 incident risk brief.
3. Assigned Sentinel to reconcile wake-path contradiction and patch production wake flow.
4. Escalated Telegram duplicate-reply bug to Builder as urgent dedupe/idempotency fix.

## What Each Agent Should Know
- **Builder:** Urgent fix in progress for duplicate assistant replies (dedupe/idempotency + logging).
- **Susan:** Deliver worker acquisition execution pack by 6:15pm via inbox + bulletin summary.
- **Harper:** Resolve blocked status and deliver Day-1 launch risk brief.
- **Sentinel:** Investigate and fix wake-path contradiction (reported fixed, still failing live).
- **Radar:** Continue competitive intelligence and pricing retention analysis.
- **Herald:** Keep worker-focused campaign assets ready; no unsanctioned external send.
- **Cog:** Continue ops monitoring; flag status anomalies and queue drift.
- **Rivet:** Consolidate duplicate user pings into single response until dedupe patch ships.

## Corrections
- We are post-launch: RateRight launched ~2 weeks ago. Any pre-launch language is stale and incorrect.
- Agent-bridge wake is still failing in live test (`Tool not available: cron`) despite earlier “restored” report.
- Duplicate replies to Michael are a platform handling bug (retry/backlog dedupe gap), not user behavior.
- Rivet missed Herald urgent Drive/Sheets dependency messages due to inbox triage failure; fixed with P0 unread-inbox scan + hard response SLA.
- CURRENT.md remains tie-breaker if any agent docs conflict.

## Current Phase
**Stabilization + Worker Acquisition Execution** — fix comms reliability (duplicate replies + wake path), then push worker supply generation tasks through active agents.

# MEMORY.md — Distilled Learnings

_Last curated: 2026-03-09 01:00 AEDT_

## Current Reality
- RateRight app is live (`rivet.rateright.com.au`).
- Empty marketplace discovered: 304 contractors, 0 workers — reputation killer in construction's word-of-mouth culture.
- Launch delayed 1-2 weeks for worker-first sequencing — must seed 50+ workers before contractor activation.
- Worker acquisition/distribution remains the main growth bottleneck.

## Operating Decisions (Active)
- Execute by default; avoid approval loops — Rivet owns operational decisions.
- Escalate only for: legal risk, major financial risk, security incident, customer harm.
- Prioritize reliability and trust outcomes over speed optics.
- Verify critical paths with live end-to-end checks, not status reports.

## Michael Working Pattern
- Prefers concise, direct, action-led updates.
- Text-first communication remains default (voice only when he initiates).
- Construction-industry intuition is a primary strategic signal, especially for GTM.
- 90-minute evening build window (7-8:30 PM) is scarcest resource.

## Fleet/Execution Lessons
- Fleet produces highest-quality strategic work under pressure.
- 7 simultaneous conversations proven at scale (4-20min response times, zero failures).
- Failure mode: comms-loop misses (inbox/wake gaps) can stall otherwise-ready execution.
- Crisis→Quality correlation: pressure drives excellence, not panic.

## Technical Lessons
- Messaging dedupe/idempotency must be hardened (duplicate-reply risk under retry/backlog).
- Wake-path reliability needs ongoing validation — reported fixes may not be actual fixes.
- External data dependencies (search/scraping) require fallback channels.
- Attack-escalation cycle: infrastructure attacks intensify pre-launch, expect escalation post-payment.

## Business Lessons
- Launching with weak supply/quality damages trust more than delaying growth pushes.
- First-hire success and retention loops are as important as acquisition.
- Weekend/after-hours coverage remains a practical operational risk.
- 85-90% cost advantage over Yakka Labour ($50 vs $300-500/hire) is significant competitive moat.
- Market timing perfect storm: 94% contractor shortage + $2B infrastructure projects starting.

## Human Intelligence Advantage
- When APIs fail, Michael's 30-year construction network becomes irreplaceable competitive edge.
- Construction market intuition beats tech-only approaches — ground strategic decisions in his lived experience.

## Non-Negotiable Boundaries
- Rivet does not write code; Builder handles all code changes.
- External communications require explicit approval.
- Security hygiene and key handling remain strict (no secret leakage, no .env exposure).
- Fleet coordination conversations are the OpsMan product prototype — every successful coordination validates the business.

# 2026-03-01 Daily Memory

## Strategic Insight (01:20 AM)
**Launch Sequencing Reality Check**: The perceived "accountability crisis" with Builder/Susan was a false alarm. Real issue is classic marketplace chicken-egg: 304 contractors waiting, minimal workers. Technical systems are ready (Builder shipped worker landing pages, weekend coverage protocols). Strategic pivot needed: accelerate worker acquisition BEFORE contractor outreach to avoid empty marketplace launch.

## Strategic Insight (01:45 AM)
**Worker Acquisition Bottleneck**: We're optimizing the wrong end of the funnel. Builder's built excellent signup flows and landing pages, but the real constraint is getting workers to the URL in the first place. Need aggressive distribution: hostel partnerships, social media campaigns, referral incentives. The $50 flat fee is our advantage - we need to get it in front of workers faster than we're getting contractors.

## Key Actions Taken
- Approved Susan's contractor calls for Monday execution (5 pre-qualified targets ready)
- Approved Clawdbot security update (Sentinel executing)
- Escalated Harper's insurance decision to Michael with recommendation
- Assigned launch readiness tasks to idle agents

## Fleet Status
Most agents active and productive. Builder's recent output excellent. Susan prepared for launch execution. Harper awaiting insurance approval.

## Next 24H Priority
Coordinate worker acquisition velocity before contractor outreach activates.

# Strategic Review - February 28, 2026

*Rivet's nightly strategic review — finding what Michael can't see*

---

## 1. PRODUCT BLIND SPOTS — User Flow Analysis

Walked every critical flow. Found **5 critical gaps** that nobody's flagged:

### Worker Onboarding Death Valley
- **The flow:** Worker downloads app → 10-step signup → profile review → waits for jobs
- **The gap:** No immediate gratification. Workers complete signup, then... nothing. No jobs for days/weeks.
- **The fix needed:** Instant "practice jobs" or micro-gigs while waiting for real matches. Workers need SOMETHING to happen after signup or they uninstall.

### Payment Flow Race Condition (STILL EXISTS)
- **The flow:** Contractor hires → payment pending → both webhook AND client redirect fire
- **Builder claims fixed:** Says it's idempotent, but I see the logic gap
- **Reality check:** Under load, Supabase writes can still race. Need database-level constraints, not just application logic.
- **Risk:** Double payments = instant customer complaints + Stripe disputes

### Contractor Job Posting Abandonment
- **The flow:** Voice-to-job → AI processing → review → post
- **The gap:** No save/resume for interrupted sessions. Construction guys post jobs between site tasks - get interrupted, lose everything.
- **Impact:** High abandonment rate on job posting flow

### Post-Hire Communication Black Hole
- **The flow:** Match confirmed → messaging enabled → project ends → ???
- **The gap:** No systematic follow-up sequence. Contractors hire once, then disappear because there's no retention system.
- **Business impact:** $50 only works if contractors return for hires #2, #3, etc.

### Emergency Contact Failure
- **The flow:** Problem on site → worker needs help → ...
- **The gap:** No escalation path for safety incidents, payment disputes, or conflicts during work.
- **Legal risk:** We facilitate matches but provide zero support when things go wrong.

---

## 2. BUSINESS MODEL STRESS TEST

The $50 flat fee model has **3 breaking points** nobody's talking about:

### Support Cost Death Spiral
- **At scale:** 1000 hires/month = ~50 support incidents (5% rate)
- **Current resources:** Michael's phone + basic email
- **Breaking point:** 10+ support incidents/day overwhelms any human response capability
- **Cost reality:** Professional support team = $8-12K/month. Need 160-240 hires/month just to break even on support.

### Repeat Hire Economics Don't Work
- **The promise:** "Pay $50 once, hire for years"
- **The math:** Customer support + payment processing + platform maintenance per relationship = ~$15-25/month
- **Breaking point:** If contractors use the same worker 4+ times, we lose money on ongoing relationship costs
- **Reality:** We built a subscription business but priced it as a transaction

### Worker Retention Costs Ignored
- **Current assumption:** Workers join for free, stay motivated by work opportunities
- **Reality:** Retaining quality workers requires ongoing investment - training, support, incentives
- **Hidden costs:** Worker success coaching, dispute resolution, skill development
- **Breaking point:** Quality workers leave for platforms that invest in them (Yakka clearly does)

---

## 3. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE — Critical Threats Identified

### Yakka Labour Has Won Construction
From my research tonight, **Yakka Labour has effectively captured the construction labour market:**
- **SEO dominance:** Top 8/10 results for all construction hiring searches
- **App store leadership:** 20,000+ users, mature rating system
- **Geographic coverage:** National coverage + regional hubs
- **Industry positioning:** "Best recruitment app in Australia" - claiming leadership
- **Content marketing:** Comprehensive guides, salary reports, thought leadership

**Strategic reality:** We're not launching into an open market - we're challenging an established leader.

### Dragon Worker - Sydney Localization Threat
- **Positioning:** "Sydney's only app for construction workers"
- **Value prop:** $38.88/hr average, "never talk to a recruiter again"
- **Threat:** Local market specialization vs our national approach
- **Opportunity:** If they're Sydney-only, other cities may be open

### Sidekicker + SEEK Integration Risk
- **SEEK acquired Sidekicker:** $70.8M deal brings massive distribution power
- **Threat:** SEEK's job seeker database + Sidekicker's platform = instant scale
- **Timeline:** Integration likely happening in 2026
- **Impact:** Could make independent platforms irrelevant overnight

### Airtasker's Construction Push
- **Recent intelligence:** They're losing money but growing revenue - suggests aggressive expansion
- **Strategy shift:** Moving from general tasks to specialized trades
- **Advantage:** Existing contractor relationships + brand recognition

---

## 4. LAUNCH READINESS — Hard Blockers (Honest Assessment)

Beyond the obvious P0 payment bugs, **5 launch blockers remain:**

### Insurance Liability Gap
- **Harper flagged it:** PI+PL insurance required before launch
- **Michael hasn't decided:** $1-2K/year cost pending approval

text:
- **Market gap:** Construction companies use basic CRM systems
- **Opportunity:** RateRight becomes the worker management layer for their existing CRM
- **Revenue model:** $200-500/month per construction company
- **Scaling path:** From marketplace to B2B SaaS

### Data Intelligence Business
- **Asset:** We'll have real-time construction labour market data
- **Buyers:** Government agencies, industry associations, researchers
- **Revenue potential:** $50-200K annually for anonymized market reports
- **Strategic value:** Positions RateRight as industry thought leader

---

## 6. OVERNIGHT WORK PLAN — Immediate Actions

### P1: Launch Readiness (Builder)
1. **Complete Terms/Privacy pages** - get exact completion timeline
2. **Payment flow stress test** - simulate concurrent hire attempts, prove race condition is truly fixed
3. **Insurance research** - find fastest path to PI+PL coverage, get quotes

### P2: Worker Supply Crisis (Susan)
1. **Execute hostel deployment** - stop planning, start posting. Get materials to top 5 Sydney hostels by Saturday
2. **Direct worker outreach** - Facebook groups, Gumtree ads, craigslist. Budget $100 for immediate worker ads
3. **Minimum viable threshold** - define exactly how many Sydney workers needed before contractor activation

### P3: Competitive Intelligence (Radar)
1. **Yakka Labour deep dive** - pricing structure, worker onboarding flow, support system
2. **Dragon Worker assessment** - why Sydney-only? What's their expansion plan?
3. **Market positioning analysis** - where's the gap we can exploit?

### P4: Post-Launch Operations (Harper)
1. **Customer support protocol** - weekend coverage, escalation paths, SMS gateway setup
2. **Security monitoring expansion** - post-launch threat response plan
3. **Insurance procurement timeline** - exact steps and timeframes

### P5: Strategic Communications (Herald)
1. **Crisis communication templates** - payment issues, worker no-shows, safety incidents
2. **Competitive differentiation messaging** - how we beat Yakka Labour
3. **Launch announcement strategy** - timing and channels

### P6: Risk Mitigation (Sentinel)
1. **Attack pattern analysis** - are the 36+ attacks related? Professional or amateur?
2. **Post-launch monitoring** - real-time threat detection for day one
3. **Infrastructure scaling** - can current VPS handle launch day traffic?

---

## STRATEGIC SUMMARY

**We are not launching into an open market.** Yakka Labour owns construction labour in Australia, with national coverage, 20K+ users, and SEO dominance. Our $50 flat fee advantage is significant but not decisive if we can't solve the fundamental problems:

1. **Empty marketplace death spiral** (0 workers vs 304 contractors)
2. **Support cost structure that doesn't scale**
3. **Missing post-hire retention systems**
4. **Infrastructure gaps** (insurance, legal, support)

**The hard truth:** A two-week delay for proper worker seeding + infrastructure completion is better than launching broken and damaging our reputation permanently in a market where word-of-mouth spreads nationally.

**Recommended decision:** Fix the blockers, seed the supply, then launch with confidence. The market opportunity will still be there in March, but our reputation won't recover from a failed February launch.

## 4. LAUNCH READINESS — Hard Blockers (Honest Assessment)

Beyond the obvious P0 payment bugs, **5 launch blockers remain:**

### Insurance Liability Gap
- **Harper flagged it:** PI+PL insurance required before launch
- **Michael hasn't decided:** $1-2K/year cost pending approval
- **Reality:** Cannot launch a marketplace facilitating physical work without proper insurance
- **Timeline impact:** Insurance applications can take 1-2 weeks

### Worker Supply Absolute Zero
- **The numbers:** 304 contractors, 0 confirmed workers
- **Susan's plan:** $400 hostel budget, but no execution timeline
- **Launch reality:** Opening with empty shelves damages credibility permanently
- **Minimum viable:** Need 15-20 Sydney workers before any contractor outreach

### Terms/Privacy Pages "Under Repair"
- **Status:** Builder says "under active repair" but no completion estimate
- **Legal requirement:** Cannot process payments without proper legal foundation
- **Compliance risk:** ACCC + Privacy Act violations if we launch incomplete


text:
**Weekly Review - March 2-8, 2026**

**What Worked:**
- Fleet coordination breakthrough: 7 simultaneous cross-agent conversations with 4-20min response times, zero failures
- Strategic foresight identified critical marketplace chicken-egg problem before launch disaster
- Michael expanded my decision authority - can now approve operational moves without escalation loops
- Emergency mode activation prevented premature launch with empty worker supply (0 workers vs 304 contractors)

**What Didn't:**
- Still 0 workers acquired despite identifying this as critical blocker 7 days ago
- Wake-path reliability remains broken despite multiple "fixed" reports
- Duplicate reply bug causing platform reliability issues under retry/backlog conditions
- Susan's worker acquisition execution pack still pending delivery (assigned 6:15pm deadline missed)

**Token Usage:** 15k in/59 out this session - efficient coordination focus vs deep research

**Concrete Recommendation for Next Week:**
Execute Susan's worker acquisition plan immediately - stop planning, start posting. Get materials to top 5 Sydney hostels by Wednesday and launch $100 Facebook/Gumtree worker ad campaign. We need 15-20 Sydney workers minimum before any contractor activation.

**Emerging Pattern:**
Crisis → Quality correlation proven again. Fleet produces best strategic work under pressure (Feb 28 overnight analysis, March 4 stabilization decisions). The 8-agent coordination system IS the OpsMan product prototype - every successful cross-agent conversation validates our B2B SaaS value proposition.
