Terminal output of the SOTA research loop. Maps every research finding
to owner, LOC estimate, dependency, and priority across 6 tiers.
Total engineering budget across the loop's output:
- Tier 1 (Q3 2026): ~490 LOC, 3-4 person-weeks
- Tier 2 (Q3-Q4 2026): ~1180 LOC, 6-8 person-weeks
- Tier 3 (2027): ~1140 LOC, 8-10 person-weeks
- Tier 4-5 (long horizon): ~700+ LOC, 6-8 person-weeks
- TOTAL: ~3,500 LOC, ~25 person-weeks
Tier 1 (next quarter) ships:
- 1.1 wifi-densepose plan-antennas CLI tool (360 LOC) -- 93x placement lift
- 1.2 R12.1 pose-PABS in vital_signs cog (80 LOC) -- 9.36x intruder lift
- 1.3 cog-person-count v0.0.3 chest-centric (50 LOC)
- 1.4 ADR-029 amendment w/ ADR-113 matrix (0 LOC)
Critical-path graph:
1.1 + 1.2 -> 1.3 -> 2.1 ruview-fed -> 2.2 DP-vital-signs -> 3.1 cross-install -> 3.2 PQC
+-> 3.3 real-AETHER -> 3.4 fall-detect
+-> 4.x verticals
Why this matters: after 35 ticks of research output, this is the
document that lets a team pick up and ship without re-reading the 34
research notes. Priority alignment, estimate-anchoring, critical-path
visibility — all in one place.
R-thread mapping:
- R5/R6/R6.2 family/R6.1 -> Tier 1
- R12/R12.1 PABS -> Tier 1.2
- R3/R3.1/R3.2/R14/R15 -> Tier 2-3
- R7 mincut -> Tier 2 (in ruview-fed)
- R13 NEGATIVE -> rules out BP, no Tier line
- R10/R11/R16/R17/R18 verticals -> Tier 4-5
Composes with every loop output. Every thread, ADR, vertical sketch
has a line in some Tier. The TERMINAL output that needs the synthesis
power of a research loop to produce.
Honest scope:
- Estimates synthetic-data-based; may shift after bench validation
- Critical-path may have hidden dependencies (e.g. AgentDB schema)
- 25 person-weeks assumes full-time engineers
- Doesn't include integration testing, documentation, deployment ops
- Tiers based on architectural dependency, not business priority
Loop status after 35 ticks:
- 16 research threads
- 6 exotic verticals
- 6 new ADRs (105/106/107/108/109/113)
- 3 negative result categories
- 2 self-corrections
- 3 honest-scope findings
- 9-tick R6 family (complete)
- 3-tick R3 arc (complete)
- 3-tick R12 arc (complete)
