What's new · v4-in-progress (2026-09-08 pickup)

2026-09-07 alignment meeting complete. All 15 §7 items resolved (12 closed + 3 intentionally-deferred). v3.2 skipped; v4 is the next canonical set, Brandon-owned within 1 week post-alignment. Session notes shipped as HIFP-session-notes-2026-09-07-alignment · minutes as HIFP-meeting-minutes-2026-09-07.html · walkthrough Ledger r4 update landed same day.

2026-09-08 morning pickup — inputs + decisions in flight:

Framing note. v3.x artifacts are frozen for reference. All v4 kit sections referencing GTM structure gate on Friday 2026-09-11 trio ratification of §3.42. Karen general-counsel briefing (§3.24) gates any external commercial or investor conversation. Nothing in this canvas is cleared for external distribution until both gates land.

How to read this package

Start here (product-first): Launch the Working prototype (below) — the fastest path to seeing what HIFP is. Then Investor Deck v3 (14 slides) for the raise-shaped pitch. Then POV v3 (long-form) + POV v3.1 addendum for depth.

For today's 2026-09-07 alignment meeting: Read the Monday agenda first (in Planning meetings, below), then the four weekend-homework artifacts (Alignment prep group). The judo memo + timeline cut sheet + SAFE-vs-organic matrix are the load-bearing pre-reads. Ethical framework skeleton is Sindhu-ratification-owed.

Working discussion drafts (segment messaging, IP assessment): exploration + assessment material — not committed positions.

Reference memos + v0.1 foundation specs underneath — Actuarial, Advice-Boundary, Compliance, Security (Tier-1); Data Lifecycle, Ops, Testing, Chain Partnership (Tier-2); Org & Hiring, Financial Model, Fairness Protocol, Insurance & Liability (Tier-3). Plus Source Log + Verification Runbook + Open Items Ledger r3 (~78 tracked items).

Working prototype

The v3.1 POC — 24 routes, all mocked, designed for the 45–70 buyer segment. Highest-signal artifact in the package: not a memo, a working product. Live-demoed to the founder trio 2026-09-04.

Demo ready v3.1 Next.js · TS · Tailwind

HIFP POC — the working product

A fully-navigable 24-route prototype of the HIFP consumer + practice app: auth · onboarding (5 source types, multi-connection, meds autocomplete, Galleri H1 tile) · Home (Today widget, personalization score, 4 decision surfaces, Plan-Delta feed, tier-aware upsell, Ideas) · Plan (interactive Monte Carlo cone, LTC curve, housing bars, care-reserve chart, retirement-age slider) · Chat (canned Planning Assistant with safety-check pill) · Data (view/edit/delete) · Ideas · Account · Billing · Settings (Trust / Privacy / Household / Appearance / History) · Invite (viral referral) · About · Share-with-incumbent flow with public advisor-side preview · SMART-on-FHIR practice-side cohort dashboard (physician view). Every screen designed to Gx/Boomer defaults (17px+, plain language, WCAG 2.2 AA).

Step 1 · Install
One-time setup
Requires Node 18.17+ and npm. Installs ~108 packages in about 30 seconds.
$cd ~/Desktop/HIFP/poc $npm install
Step 2 · Run
Start the dev server
Boots in ~2 seconds. Ctrl+C to stop when you’re done.
$npm run dev # Ready at http://localhost:3000
Fastest demo path. Open http://localhost:3000, click "I already have an account", then "Use the demo account", then Skip MFA. You land on Home as Margaret.
Best investor walk-through. Once inside, click ◆ Demo mode → Hero scenario in the sidebar — seeds Margaret (62, MDVIP patient, 3 dated Function panels, Oura + Apple Health, Galleri result queued for H1) with a fresh Plan-Delta from an HRV drop. Then walk: Home → Plan (drag the retirement-age slider from 65 to 62 — watch the Monte Carlo cone widen) → Chat (ask about the Roth conversion) → Share with advisor (see the advisor-side preview) → Settings → Household (the sandwich-generation use case) → /practice (the physician-side SMART-on-FHIR cohort dashboard — open in a separate tab to demo the chain-anchor value prop).
Deploy option. npm run build produces a Cloudflare Pages-compatible static build. No env vars needed for the POC. Note: Ledger §4.4 deployed URL still owed — blocking on IP counsel provisional filings per §5.2b before external-tester distribution.
Restart the dev server (if port 3000 hangs or you need a clean boot): lsof -ti:3000 | xargs kill -9 && cd ~/Desktop/HIFP/poc && npm run dev. Note: demo-seed data changes require re-seed via ◆ Demo mode → Hero scenario (or a localStorage clear) — a plain restart alone won’t re-populate.
