Open decisions
Who is this for
Section titled “Who is this for”The owner, and whoever advises them. Each item here blocks or shapes work on the roadmap.
- Ten decisions are open. Three block the next event of any size: the fallback provider, a dedicated server, and the likeness mode.
- One needs a lawyer, not an engineer: where personal data may be stored.
- Two shape the business: how to sell to several agencies, and how the next product joins the requests group.
- Each entry names a recommended option. A recommendation is the documentation’s reading of the evidence, not a decision.
Decisions
Section titled “Decisions”1. Which likeness mode is the default
Section titled “1. Which likeness mode is the default”- Question: consistency (anchor), classic or hybrid — see ADR-008.
- Options: keep consistency as default and offer the others per event · make hybrid the default · remove the modes that lose.
- What is missing: a side-by-side live run on a varied set of faces (long hair, glasses, beard, dark and very light skin) with a named budget.
- Recommended: run that comparison once, pick one default, keep one alternative behind the flag, delete the third path.
- Decides: owner, with the client’s feedback on likeness.
2. Fallback AI provider
Section titled “2. Fallback AI provider”- Question: obtain and verify the second provider’s key, or accept a single provider.
- Options: configure and test the second provider · use a second project of the same provider as a partial fallback (covers quota and billing, not outages) · accept the risk for small events.
- Recommended: configure the second provider and run one live pack through it before the next event.
- Decides: owner (account verification and budget).
3. Dedicated server
Section titled “3. Dedicated server”- Question: keep sharing the droplet or move the product to its own.
- Recommended: move before any event larger than the pilot. The deploy scripts support a fresh server.
- Decides: owner (recurring cost).
4. Where personal data may be stored
Section titled “4. Where personal data may be stored”- Question: does the localisation requirement for citizens of Uzbekistan apply to guest data and lead data as processed here, and what satisfies it.
- Options, if it applies: host the database in the country · keep contact data on an in-country server and post
masked cards to the group (
LEADS_CARD_PII=0already exists) · register the database as required. - Recommended: get a written legal opinion; until then switch on masked cards if the sales team can work with them.
- Decides: a lawyer and the owner.
5. Offsite backups and uptime monitoring
Section titled “5. Offsite backups and uptime monitoring”- Question: where database copies go and what watches
/healthfrom outside. - Recommended: copy the daily backup to object storage in the same legal jurisdiction as decision 4 allows; add
an external check on
/healthwith alerts to a second channel. - Decides: engineer; owner for cost.
6. Languages of the bot and the kiosk
Section titled “6. Languages of the bot and the kiosk”- Question: translate to Uzbek and English now, or per event.
- Options: one language per installation chosen by setting · language chosen by the guest (from the Telegram client language and a switch on the kiosk).
- Recommended: language per installation first; it is a small change and matches how events are sold.
- Decides: owner, by the next client’s audience.
7. Route to several agencies
Section titled “7. Route to several agencies”- Question: one installation per tenant, or true multi-tenancy — see Multi-tenant and white label.
- Recommended: installation per tenant, after moving the brand layer out of the code.
- Decides: owner.
8. How the next product joins the requests group
Section titled “8. How the next product joins the requests group”- Question: copy the leads module into each product, or extract one shared leads service — see Playbook: new product.
- Also open: the second product’s form asks for a role and a free-form contact, while the leads server requires a Telegram username and a phone. Either the form changes or the validator becomes per-product.
- Recommended: copy for the second product; extract when the third arrives.
- Decides: owner and the developer of the second product.
9. Pack limit across events
Section titled “9. Pack limit across events”- Question: is “one pack per account” per installation forever, or per event.
- Recommended: per event, once sessions and jobs carry an event identifier; until then reset between events.
- Decides: owner.
10. Landing performance target
Section titled “10. Landing performance target”- Question: accept the current mobile LCP of about 3.5 s, or invest in reducing first-screen JavaScript.
- Recommended: accept until paid traffic is bought; then set a budget in the audit script so it cannot regress.
- Decides: owner.
