Context Intelligence

High confidence

Layer: Context | Phase: Discovery & Diagnosis (Weeks 0-2) | Status: Enriched from Daanaa-supplied PDP artifacts

This layer answers: what is the urgency, who matters, where do we enter, what are the constraints, is this feasible?

Urgency & Risk Drivers

What is forcing this conversation now? What is the cost of inaction?

ISO compliance — Daanaa is "on the path" (Udi's email). External audit timing TBD; cost of poor traceability surfaces at audit.
Documentation as productivity tax — explicitly raised by Udi as "necessary evil dragging productivity."
IP control non-negotiable — power electronics IP, customer NDAs, foreground/background classification needs.
Scale stress — 100+ engineer org; documentation cost compounds with growth.

Known so far:

Primary: Udi (CEO sponsorship)
Pilot champion: TBD (must be identified — gate-1 KPI)
Co-build engineers: 1-2 to be designated at pilot scoping (gate-2)
Audit/IP gatekeepers: to be mapped during discovery (CTO, IP officer, legal)

The fixed lines we can't cross:

IP control — data residency rules TBD; AI/LLM access rules TBD; default: data lives in Daanaa environment, no third-party LLM hops on confidential content
Tooling stack — Jira, Smartsheet, timesheet workbook all in active use; we read/write, do not replace. Outsourcing to Neuronics mentioned for non-critical implementation/testing roles
PDP — 10-phase process (Innovation through EOL). Each phase has Objectives / Activities / Outputs / RACI. Sound structure; preserved, not redesigned
Gate reviews — Development Approval Request (DAR) is the canonical gate-review pack. Electra DAR example shows combined Concept + Planning presentation. Approval chain: Udi, Raheem, Robert
Reporting — Electra Reporting workbook: rows per deliverable/task with hours entered vs hours planned, delta column. ~40 timesheet categories
ISO standards in scope — 9001 confirmed; 26262 / AEC-Q100 to confirm (automotive customers Mercedes, BorgWarner)

Conceptual fit: Strong — translation tax across artifact boundaries is well-evidenced. The Electra Reporting workbook is exactly the "hand-consolidated planned-vs-actual" pattern the cockpit replaces. The DAR deck is hand-assembled from data that could be substrate-derived
Cultural fit: Encouraging — PDP deck says "this process is being developed, and we will evolve it with collective input"
Technical fit: Likely good — substrate adapters exist for Daanaa's tools; integration is read/write, not replace
Commercial fit: TBD — depends on pilot envelope being acceptable at gate-2

P1 (must do): Mercedes (POC3/Furud), BorgWarner (POC894)

P2 (funded, committed): CTC (Orion), Heliene Rev A (Zodiac), Midwest (Zodiac), GAF (Zodiac)

P3 (not funded): Mercedes (Dual DC/DC), Heliene Rev B, KDDI

Internal/research: Electra (Sirius Eval System), Maia, Taurus, Atlas SOM variants
