These are high-value gaps that will increase control, speed, and compliance for SMB execution.
Critical
Obligation Registry
No single machine-readable register for legal/tax/work obligations per venture stage.
Implement now: create obligations table + source law + deadline + owner + evidence link.
Critical
Process Trigger Matrix
Processes are not yet auto-attached when events happen (new hire, new client, new venture).
Implement now: event -> required SOP pack map with mandatory checks.
High
Evidence Vault
Proof of completion is scattered across chats, files, and logs.
Implement now: immutable evidence IDs and per-task compliance bundle.
High
Decision Ledger
Strategic decisions are not always linked to follow-up tasks and outcomes.
Implement now: scenario decision object with confidence, rationale, and expiry date.
High
Accounting Behind The Scenes
Startup flow does not force accounting process setup at venture creation.
Implement now: auto-enable accounting starter pack on venture bootstrap.
Medium
Role-Based Expansion Logic
Hiring milestones are not bound to process growth rules.
Implement now: when first employee is added -> enable HR onboarding pack + labor law checklist.
Medium
Cross-App Contract API
Apps still act as islands in some flows (projects, invoices, agreements).
Implement now: shared reference IDs and lookup API across all apps.
Medium
Quality Gates Before Deploy
Microapps deploy fast, but quality/compliance gate set is minimal.
Implement now: pre-deploy checklist (tests, legal notices, data policy, observability).
