DIREKT Phase 1B Exit Review

Result: PASS WITH ACCEPTED LIMITATIONS
Date: 2026-07-14
Phase completed: Phase 1B — interaction design and synthetic prototype
Next authorized phase: Phase 2 — technical foundation

1. Decision summary

The Phase 1B interactive prototype translates the approved product, trust, privacy, location and operational baseline into coherent customer, provider and operations journeys.

The prototype is sufficient to begin native Android, backend and operations scaffolding because it resolves the main structural questions:

  • how separate trust claims are displayed;
  • how fixed, mobile and hybrid providers differ;
  • how registered, qualified and experienced-informal pathways coexist;
  • how customers create a tracked enquiry before external contact;
  • how providers see evidence requirements and correction states;
  • how staff review private evidence and record check-specific decisions;
  • how loading, offline, permission and failure states are explained.

No participant study, production API or real evidence workflow is claimed.

2. Mandatory deliverables

Deliverable State Evidence
Interactive customer flows COMPLETE prototype/app.js; PHASE_1B_PROTOTYPE_SPEC.md
Interactive provider flows COMPLETE prototype/app.js; screen inventory
Interactive operations flows COMPLETE prototype/app.js; screen inventory
Separate trust states and limitations COMPLETE Four synthetic provider evidence patterns
Fixed/mobile/hybrid examples COMPLETE ZedSpark, Mwamba and Kafue Road examples
Informal-provider pathway COMPLETE Provider pathway and Kafue experience example
Enquiry and contact consent COMPLETE CU-011 and CU-012
Offline/slow/error/permission states COMPLETE Global state simulator
Interrupted upload and retry COMPLETE PR-011
Accessibility baseline COMPLETE BY DESIGN INSPECTION Semantic controls, focus, list equivalent, reduced motion
Synthetic-data controls COMPLETE Banner, local-only feedback and no external actions
Pages publication integration COMPLETE IN SOURCE scripts/build_pages_source.py copies prototype/
Screen inventory alignment COMPLETE SCREEN_INVENTORY.md
Structured expert review COMPLETE PHASE_1B_HEURISTIC_REVIEW.md
Android namespace/application ID decision COMPLETE com.kudzimusar.direkt

3. Android identity decision

The approved Android namespace and production application ID are:

com.kudzimusar.direkt

Rationale:

  • valid multi-segment Android application ID;
  • tied to the owner-controlled GitHub identity rather than an unowned corporate domain;
  • concise and product-specific;
  • suitable as both Kotlin namespace and release application ID;
  • avoids a temporary com.example identity that would later require migration.

Rules:

  • Phase 2 uses namespace = "com.kudzimusar.direkt".
  • The production/default application ID is com.kudzimusar.direkt.
  • Development variants may use suffixes such as .debug or .staging where appropriate.
  • Firebase production registration must use the exact case-sensitive production ID.
  • The application ID must not change after public Play publication.

4. Quality review

Gate Result Notes
Design matches product objective PASS Discovery and check-specific trust are primary
Trust states avoid blanket verification PASS Scope and limitations are explicit
Location privacy is understandable PASS BY DESIGN Real-user confirmation deferred
Provider corrections are actionable PASS Reason and resubmission flow present
Operations decisions are auditable in concept PASS Decision and audit views present
Payment is excluded from trust PASS Operations copy explicitly separates it
Prototype is publicly safe PASS BY INSPECTION Fictional data; no submissions or remote assets
Phone and desktop responsive views PASS BY DESIGN Responsive CSS and viewport controls
Keyboard and semantic accessibility PASS BY INSPECTION Native controls and focus treatment
Pages deployment succeeds REQUIRED POST-MERGE VERIFICATION The checkpoint must confirm the live URL

5. Accepted limitations

  • no representative user or provider testing;
  • no Android Compose implementation;
  • no physical Android accessibility test;
  • no API, database, authentication or authorization;
  • no actual map, geocoding, phone, WhatsApp, SMS or payment integration;
  • no real upload, encryption or object storage;
  • no field-verification operations;
  • no legal opinion;
  • no pricing validation.

These limitations are assigned to Phase 2 through Phase 11 and do not prevent foundation scaffolding.

6. Phase 2 authorization

Phase 2 is authorized to create:

  • Kotlin/Jetpack Compose Android project at android/direkt-app;
  • Gradle wrapper and reproducible build;
  • app namespace/application ID com.kudzimusar.direkt;
  • debug and staging-safe build variants;
  • baseline design tokens and navigation shell;
  • modular TypeScript/NestJS backend workspace;
  • Next.js operations workspace;
  • PostgreSQL migration framework and synthetic seeds;
  • shared environment and secret templates;
  • OpenAPI and audit/error foundations;
  • CI that builds and tests all scaffolded workspaces.

Phase 2 is not authorized to:

  • collect real identity evidence;
  • integrate production regulators;
  • enable customer payments or escrow;
  • publish real provider profiles;
  • start a public pilot;
  • register Firebase with any package other than the approved ID;
  • store production credentials in the repository.

7. Exact next task

Scaffold the native Android application first so the existing Android CI produces the first installable debug APK. Backend and operations workspaces follow in controlled Phase 2 substeps after the Android foundation is green.

8. Final decision
