# 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 |

| 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:

```text
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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Phase 1B result | PASS WITH ACCEPTED LIMITATIONS |
| Phase 2 authorized | YES |
| Android namespace/application ID | `com.kudzimusar.direkt` |
| Public pilot authorized | NO |
| Real evidence collection authorized | NO |
| Production integrations authorized | NO |
| Next checkpoint | Android project scaffolding and first green APK build |
