## Weekly Advisory Council Briefing (08:04)
All 3 analysts reported. Unanimous theme: execution paralysis.

Critical:
- Google Ads identity verification deadline Mar 16 (3 days). Flagged every session since Mar 8. Rob has not completed it. Illumination runs 633/day.
- Dream 100 outreach cold for 5+ days. Hashmeta AI actively competing. Zero emails sent.
- Zavi deployed to public URL with zero authentication. Needs immediate access block.
- Rob-gated paralysis is now a pattern: 9/10 voice note items undone after 2 days. Items compound, not age out.
- Two monetisable products (Retail Targeting, Tradeify) earning zero. Blocked on Rob config tasks (Facebook Page, Stripe, DMARC).

Important:
- AI Visibility Checker capturing zero leads for 5 days (missing SendGrid key + Supabase table)
- 87 named prospects across MN + Ignite90, zero outreach sent. Aerska ($60M) untouched since Mar 9.
- 13 unvetted skills with system access for 6 days.
- Zavi positioning opportunity: use own tender bid as case study.

Action: force Rob to triage top 5 items today. No new builds until blockers clear.

## Zavi Build - Overnight Autonomous Build

### 04:00 - Build Started
- Cron trigger fired at 4am to start Zavi build
- Read all 5 phase briefs, DESIGN-SPEC, TECH-SPEC, SCOPE doc
- Claude Code session `wild-ember` launched for Phase 1

### 04:16 - Phase 1 Complete
- Next.js 14 project scaffolded with TypeScript + Tailwind + shadcn/ui
- Marketing pages: home, product, pricing
- App shell: sidebar (collapsible), topbar, all route shells
- Design system: monochrome tokens, Inter font, theme toggle
- 36 source files, `npm run build` passes

### 04:17 - Database + Storage Provisioned
- SQL migration run via Supabase Management API (201 success)
- All 10 tables created: profiles, companies, company_profile_sections, tenders, tender_documents, tender_responses, response_sections, opportunities, gaps, activity_log
- RLS policies applied to all tables
- 4 storage buckets created: tender-uploads, company-assets, exports, response-documents

### 04:18 - Phase 2 Started
- Claude Code session `tender-cedar` launched
- Building: onboarding flow, file upload, parsers, AI extraction pipeline, knowledge base, history pages

## 08:01 Weekly Advisory Council Briefing (cron)

3 sub-agents ran in parallel (Revenue Analyst, Growth Strategist, Operations Critic). Briefing delivered to Rob via Telegram.

CRITICAL consensus findings:
- Google Ads identity verification deadline March 16 (3 days) — flagged by all 3 agents, 5th consecutive session
- Dream 100 outreach cold 5+ days, Hashmeta AI competitor already in market
- Zavi live at public URL with no authentication since 4am build
- Two products (Retail Targeting, Tradeify) feature-complete, zero revenue, all blockers Rob-gated

IMPORTANT:
- AI Visibility Checker capturing zero leads (SendGrid key + Supabase table missing, 5 days dark)
- 87 named prospects (68 MN + 19 Ignite90), zero outreach sent — Aerska ($60M) flagged again
- 13 unvetted skills with system access since March 7
- Rob-gated task paralysis now a documented pattern (9/10 from March 11 voice note still open)
- Zavi needs positioning work now — EUR 17-21B market, no local competitor, build waitlist before March 17 test

Top 3 priorities sent: (1) 30-min unblock session covering 5 Rob-gated items, (2) Zavi auth before sharing URL, (3) Start working MN/Ignite90 pipeline.

## 06:00 Memory Review (cron)
- Reviewed daily logs Mar 7-13
- Zavi build confirmed complete: all 5 phases done, live at https://zavi-app.pages.dev
- MEMORY.md updated: Zavi section rewritten with live URL + tech details; Urgent section updated with deadlines from today's perspective
- Key flags carried forward:
  - Google Ads identity verification: 3 days left (deadline Mar 16)
  - GitHub PAT: 4 days left (Mar 17), affects Zavi deploys too
  - Zavi auth not wired -- demo-only, don't share externally yet
  - 10 tasks from Rob's Mar 11 voice note still outstanding
  - Dream 100 Coole Swan email still unsent (5+ days now)

## Alan Report Fix (15:14)
- Alan replied saying attachment was missing from the weekly MN Lead Intelligence report
- Resent with all data inline (6 companies, traffic stats, recommendations)
- Need to update cron job to always include data in email body, not reference attachments

## Zavi App -- Major Fixes (15:30-16:25)

### Issues Rob reported
- Mobile: hero headline invisible (dark text on dark bg due to theme provider forcing dark mode on mobile)
- Tender upload: wanted AI auto-extraction of metadata from PDFs, multiple files = one tender
- History upload: "same shit" -- upload not working
- Excel file support needed (.xls, .xlsx, .csv)

### Fixes applied
1. **Theme provider**: Changed from mobile-defaults-dark to system preference (fixed SSR hydration mismatch)
2. **AI metadata extraction**: New `/api/ai/extract-metadata` endpoint -- sends PDF as base64 to Gemini 2.0 Flash, auto-fills title/issuing_body/deadline
3. **Multi-file upload**: Frontend groups all files under single tender record
4. **Excel/CSV support**: Added to FileUploader accepted types
5. **Monochrome design system**: Stripped all colour, uses font-weight/borders/opacity only
6. **async_hooks crash**: `@supabase/supabase-js` v2.99.1 imports `async_hooks` not available on Cloudflare Workers. All API endpoints returning 500. Fixed with `nodejs_compat` flag (was already set but needed rebuild)
7. **Column name mismatches** (the big one causing upload failures):
   - Code used `submission_date` but DB column is `date_submitted`
   - Code used `filename` but DB column is `file_name`
   - Code used `file_url` but DB column is `file_path`
   - Fixed in `/api/history/route.ts` and `/api/history/[id]/documents/route.ts`

### Deploy details
- Build chain: `next build` → `npx @cloudflare/next-on-pages` → `wrangler pages deploy`
- Latest deployment: aa593075.zavi-app.pages.dev
- Production: zavi-app.pages.dev

### Still open
- Rob hasn't confirmed upload works after column name fix (sent him link to test)
- `parsed_text` field always empty (no PDF text extraction in upload route)
- `tender-uploads` bucket is private but code calls `getPublicUrl` -- URLs won't work
- History upload additional files endpoint (`/api/history/[id]/documents`) untested
- Monochrome cleanup (22 files) from killed sub-agent never verified
- DOCX/XLSX files fall back to filename-based title (no AI extraction yet)
