# Research loop — Architecture Brief

First gap: Move 02 · Design
Build next: one-job system specification

Acceptance test:
Another person can explain the workflow,
owner, boundary, and stop condition.

Guardrail:
Do not automate an ambiguous job.

The complete export adds five scores, a seven-day build order, privacy note, and a decision to keep, revise, or stop the system.

Dependency map

Build the first missing layer.

See, Design, Build, Automate, and Compound are ordered. The assessment stops at the first gap so the recommendation remains buildable.

The moves are dependent. Do not automate before you can see. Do not build before the spec is clear. The assessment exists to find the first gap.
