Delivery Planning — Questions

Fill in each [Answer]: tag. Options A-E plus X (Other). The file is the authoritative record of your construction-sequencing decisions.

Q1: Build-first strategy

We have three units of work: generator (the CLI + layout + emit, which depends on the other two), ai-draft (optional local/cloud Ollama drafting), and funnies (crossword/find-a-word/cartoon). What should we build first?

A) The value core first — generator layout/render/emit first (with simple content), then add ai-draft and funnies later; the paper works end-to-end early (recommended given we skip the separate walking skeleton) B) The risky parts first — ai-draft and funnies first (they have the most unknowns: Ollama/cloud model, cartoon search, puzzle generation), then wire them into generator C) The dependencies first — build ai-draft and funnies first (topologically), then generator last D) A thin end-to-end slice first — one markdown file → one A4 page proving the whole chain, despite practices saying we skip a formal walking skeleton X) Other (please specify)

Q2: Scoring the work

Should we rank the build with a formal scoring model (value + urgency against size — WSJF-style: higher score ships first)?

A) No formal score — order by a pragmatic mix we decide in the plan (value core first, then the riskier funnies/AI), simplest for a solo local tool (recommended) B) Yes — a WSJF-style score per unit (weighted: value, risk-reduction, size) so the sequence is evidence-based X) Other (please specify)

Q3: Bolt size

How should we bundle the work into Bolts (a Bolt is one build pass over a piece of the work, ending in something that runs)?

A) One unit per Bolt — three Bolts (generator, ai-draft, funnies), each independently built and reviewed (recommended) B) Fewer, larger Bolts — e.g. bundle all three into a couple of passes C) Thin slices cutting across units (e.g. a minimal crossword in the first pass) X) Other (please specify)

Q4: Concurrency

Can several Bolts be built at the same time, or one after another?

A) One at a time, reviewed as we go (single-session, you approve each — recommended) B) Parallel — build ai-draft and funnies concurrently (they're independent), then generator integrates them X) Other (please specify)

Q5: External blockers

Is anything outside the team going to hold us up (external APIs, data waiting on someone, approvals, another hand-off)?

A) No blockers — the Ollama/cloud model and the internet content-enrichment are things the generator itself calls; we control the timeline (recommended) B) Yes — there are external dependencies (e.g. specific photos, a particular cartoon license, awaiting content from someone) that could gate a Bolt X) Other (please specify)

Q6: Biggest worry

What worries you most about this build, so we tackle it early?

A) Print fidelity — getting the broadsheet look, columns, and clean A4 page breaks right (the highest-value surface) B) The funnies — crossword/puzzle generation from content and the cartoon search are the most unpredictable C) The AI drafting quality — whether the model produces copy that feels right for the wedding D) The review handoff — making the per-article review page reliable under the file:// no-server constraint E) Nothing specific — the scope is clear enough X) Other (please specify)

Answer: B, C, D

Consolidated Summary Confirmation

Summary of your six delivery-planning answers before the construction Bolt plan is generated:

Build-first strategy: value core first — the generator layout/render/emit first with simple content, then ai-draft and funnies added later; the paper works end-to-end early (Q1=A)

Scoring: no formal score — a pragmatic mix we decide in the plan (Q2=A)

Bolt size: one unit per Bolt — three Bolts (generator, ai-draft, funnies), each independently built and reviewed (Q3=A)

Concurrency: parallel — ai-draft and funnies built concurrently (they're independent), then generator integrates them (Q4=B)

External blockers: none — we control the timeline (Q5=A)

Biggest worries (tackle early): funnies unpredictability, AI drafting quality, review-handoff reliability (Q6=B,C,D)
