- advisors/ — Outreach-target intel on specific people — professors, potential advisors, angels
- archive/ — Fully-superseded content preserved for history — supersedes chain + uncited months; never deleted, just moved
- benchmarks/ — Benchmark specifications — what we measure, how, against what; feeds experiment runs
- brainstorming/ — Thought processes — exploratory, half-formed, options-weighing; distinct from crystallized strategy and decisions
- comparisons/ — Head-to-head competitor/alternative analyses with decision_status; flat files + entity folders for deep dives
- competitions/ — External competitions & multi-round programs we enter — entity-folder per program (logs, forms, snapshots, results)
- concepts/ — Meta-topic folders spanning multiple sources — README (research digest) + study-log (checkpoint appends)
- decisions/ — One file per architectural/strategic decision — company-level record, scannable via git log + index
- discovery/ — Customer discovery — interviews (post-call quote capture) and leads (pre-call signup/outreach log)
- experiments/ — What we tried, measured, learned — distinct from benchmarks (spec); results with metrics + next steps

- meetings/ — Meeting/call notes citing raw/transcripts/ by line; extracts propagate to todos/, strategy/, advisors/
- questions/ — Research questions we don't yet have answers to — promotion path: questions -> dispatches -> decisions
- raw/ — Primary artifacts (transcripts, email threads, decks, renders, papers) with .md sidecars; cite via raw//.
- research-dispatches/ — Formal open research questions — hypothesis + prior constraints + findings + recommendation
- runs/ — KB maintenance runs — audits, syntheses, migrations + single-writer lock; history of KB evolution
- sources/ — Digested external references — articles/papers/repos dropped into chat; factual, not opinionated
- strategy/ — Crystallized strategic decisions — GTM, positioning, pricing, fundraising, partnerships, distribution
- study-sessions/ — Per-source study logs — append-only /study session checkpoints tracking learning progression per source
- synthesis/ — Architecture snapshots — one per product track, concurrent; most recent per product = current view
- team/ — Project team members — per-person README + voice preferences
- todos/ — Tasks, events, meetings, deadlines — lightweight layer linked to entities; file date = deadline
- tools/ — Per-tool folders — each holds a README (tool entry) + optional manuals/playbooks/changelogs as tool-note files
