Roadmap & MVP
The canonical sources are the project plan (phases, milestones, epics), the final review (MVP rationale) and Conventions §7 (release scope).

Deliberately deferred, and why
| Item | Why it is not earlier |
|---|---|
| Field force & CRM | High value for a segment, but it adds GPS ingest, battery and OS complexity and privacy work. The core must be proven first. |
| LMS | Low buying priority for SMEs; Spryple's builder and gamification are nice to have. |
| Face recognition | Needs liveness, consent and a DPIA. Selfie + geo-fence covers most MVP needs. |
| Recruitment, performance, surveys, assets | Separate buying decisions; integrate or build after product-market fit. |
| Microservices / Kubernetes | Not justified until the scale triggers in architecture §17. |
