# Roadmap

## Phase 0: Definition

- Write the project framing and library boundaries.
- Define the bounded gate schema contract.
- Document the WhetstoneDSL case study and current specialist fleet.

## Phase 1: Gate Inventory

- Enumerate candidate gates from WhetstoneDSL.
- Record output vocabulary, input shape, and downstream deterministic executor.
- Split gates into deterministic, specialist, and escalation-first candidates.

## Phase 2: Entropy Baseline

- Define a first-pass gate entropy score.
- Score the initial WhetstoneDSL gate set.
- Identify which gates are plausible at the ~800KB tier and which are not.

## Phase 3: Size Sweep

- Run fixed-data comparisons across multiple model sizes.
- Measure accuracy, calibration, confusion concentration, and latency.
- Produce the first entropy-to-tier baseline table.

## Phase 4: Core Library

- Implement gate schema loading and validation.
- Implement the decision request/response runtime.
- Implement abstain and escalation policies.
- Support pluggable inference backends.

## Phase 5: Whetstone Integration

- Expose WhetstoneDSL gates through the library.
- Replace selected MCP bounded decisions with local specialist calls.
- Log abstentions and misroutes for retraining and gate redesign.

## Phase 6: Hivemind Integration

- Feed gate failure data into Hivemind as entropy evidence.
- Use Hivemind to prioritize which high-entropy gates deserve deterministic tooling.
- Distinguish "needs a bigger model" from "needs a better tool or schema."

## Exit Criteria For Version 0

- At least one reusable gate schema format is stable.
- At least three WhetstoneDSL gates are benchmarked across size tiers.
- A baseline entropy-to-tier recommendation table exists.
- One real application can call the library instead of hard-coding model selection.
