Sol "Nail It" Build Tracker (v1)

Shared, live tracker for ONE effort: get Sol a Mirror we are confident in (she will be upset if it is bad), and in doing it, finally build The Understanding the right way. Jeff and DATA chat track this together. Nothing spends past a DONE step without Jeff's go. No em dashes.

The goal

Nail Sol's Mirror. Build The Understanding FIRST (the robust foundation), draw the robust Mirror from it, then compare against the cheap single-pass Mirror. Correct the order I got backwards.

The steps (status + cost)

# Step Produces Cost Status
1 Cheap one-door Mirror chunk Sol Gate 41 chunk, 1,411 words, ~10.7 min ~$0.50 (spent) DONE. In Jeff's inbox. Becomes the "cheap/comparison" arm.
2 Build Sol's Understanding The structured 12-field object, from one strong grounded pass over her chart + deep read. Saved as a doc + a pinned KB entry (reusable, auto-injected into future generation). ~$0.10-0.30 NEXT. Awaiting Jeff go. Jeff reviews the Understanding before step 3.
3 Draw the ROBUST Mirror from the Understanding ~11-12 min Mirror, grounded in the Understanding, the one meant to nail it. Script first. ~$0.50 Blocked by 2.
4 Compare robust vs cheap Jeff + Sol pick the winner. Also answers: is the Understanding worth its cost? $0 Blocked by 3.
5 Render the winner + deliver Fish-paced audio (slower wealth-reading pace), emailed. render only Blocked by 4 + Jeff approval.
6 Repeat for Jeff Jeff's Understanding + robust Mirror ~$0.60-0.80 After Sol lands.

Total new spend to a decision on Sol: under ~$1. Jeff has ~$19.

What "The Understanding" is (so we agree before building it)

One structured, reusable object per person, from the 12-field schema: ranked salient findings, cross-system convergences, aha moves, wound/gift/gap/North-Node, mechanisms (causal chains), low/high roads, metaphor bank, one-liners, fear preemptions, timing (current transits), plus a context store and learned-info store that grow over time. Built ONCE, then every audio is a cheap shaping of it. For Sol it is grounded in her existing corpus-grounded deep read (no new retrieval needed for v1).

Rules for this effort

Status 2026-07-04: at step 2, holding for Jeff's go.
