# Baby Nurt — Care Marketplace / Care Operating System

## Sponsor intent
Regis requested an evidence-led exploration and prototype for `sprawdzonaopiekunka.pl`, with work published when ready to `https://baby.nurt.cloud`.

## North-star question
What is the smallest, defensible, trust-first care-service wedge that can earn supply and demand in Poland, learn quickly, and expand credibly across childcare, elder care, and pet care without becoming a generic low-trust listings site?

## Initial market assumption — to test, not assume
Poland is the initial geography. The seed may begin with child care, but elder and pet care are explicit adjacency hypotheses. Mature-market platforms are research comparators, not templates to clone.

## Required programme
1. Establish research objectives, decision criteria, market boundaries, and anti-goals.
2. Conduct sourced, auditable competitive, customer, regulatory/trust, and economic research.
3. Preserve raw research, citations, unresolved questions, and discarded directions.
4. Run a three-round council with distinct Fable, Opus, and Sonnet seats. Each round must preserve its inputs, seat views, disagreements, synthesis, and changes to the next round. Do not present a false consensus.
5. Run follow-up research driven by council gaps.
6. Select a recommended beachhead and explain why alternatives lost.
7. Deliver an MVP product brief, user journeys, trust-and-safety model, monetisation hypothesis, GTM plan, first-user and partner onboarding plan, technical architecture, measurements, and staged roadmap.
8. Build an original click-through prototype and deploy a read-only research/MVP overview to `baby.nurt.cloud` only after local verification and host/proxy reconnaissance.
9. Include a visual competitive scan of relevant platforms and translate visual/interaction lessons into an original MVP design direction. Never clone protected brand/UI assets.

## Research objectives
- Map direct and adjacent platforms: childcare, elder care, pet care, home care, family support, and selected managed-service / marketplace hybrids.
- Separate directory, marketplace, managed matching, subscription, staffing agency, and care-benefit models.
- Determine what establishes trust: identity, criminal-record / eligibility checks where lawful, references, skill certifications, safeguarding, payments, insurance, matching, support, emergency escalation, ratings, and dispute handling.
- Identify the child/elder/pet overlap that is real, the overlap that destroys trust, and the right expansion sequence.
- Test Poland-specific demand/supply constraints, legal and safety implications, local alternatives, willingness-to-pay, acquisition channels, partner channels, and compliance needs.
- Find a wedge that is narrow enough to recruit reliably and has a credible retention loop.

## Constraints and safety
- Research and local artifact creation are authorised.
- Do not modify `sprawdzonaopiekunka.pl`; treat it as research-only unless Regis separately authorises changes.
- Do not contact customers, carers, partners, agencies, advertisers, or regulators. No cold outreach or live user data collection.
- Do not make medical, legal, insurance, safeguarding, verification, or availability claims without sourced qualification.
- `baby.nurt.cloud` may receive a read-only research/prototype site when the deployment plan is verified. No live booking, payment, identity verification, or user-data collection in this phase.
- Preserve raw sources under `01_RESEARCH/evidence/`; every load-bearing factual claim in synthesis must link to a source and a verification date or be explicitly labelled unverified.
- Keep active model/session concurrency at or below 3. Prefer a bounded Flash evidence pass for mechanical source collection only if its path is live; use Fable/Opus/Sonnet for judgement and synthesis.

## Required repository layout
- `00_ADMIN/` — charter, NOW, task board, decision log, methodology
- `01_RESEARCH/` — raw evidence, source register, competitive matrices, market and trust research
- `02_COUNCIL/round-{1,2,3}/` — immutable seat briefs, discussion, dissent, synthesis, round changes
- `03_STRATEGY/` — recommendation, niche scorecard, business model, GTM, partner/onboarding plan
- `04_PRODUCT/` — MVP scope, journeys, information architecture, trust model, technical plan, measurement plan
- `05_PROTOTYPE/` — source, screenshots, interaction test, deployment runbook
- `06_DELIVERY/` — executive report and publish checklist
- `reports/evidence/` — command/browser/deployment evidence

## Definition of done
A decision-ready research repository plus a working, original, locally verified prototype; if deployment reconnaissance is clear, a live read-only site at `https://baby.nurt.cloud` with a concise research overview and MVP tab. Completion must include actual file paths and verification evidence, not merely an implementation plan.
