# Blue Wave — Development Plan & Sprint Breakdown

**Project:** Blue Wave AI Campaign Platform  
**Owner:** Brainworks Ventures  
**Version:** 1.0 | April 7, 2026  

---

## Overview

Blue Wave development follows a three-phase plan aligned with the PRD roadmap. Each phase is broken into 2-week sprints with clear milestones and gate criteria.

**Total Timeline:** ~10 months (Phase 1: 2 months → Phase 2: 3 months → Phase 3: 6 months, with 1 month overlap between phases)

---

## Build Team: AI-Native Execution

Blue Wave is built entirely by AI sub-agents orchestrated by HAL (OpenClaw). This is not a conventional engineering team.

| Function | Executor | Notes |
|----------|----------|-------|
| Architecture & orchestration | HAL (main session) | Orchestrates all sub-agents |
| Backend development | Coding sub-agents (Opus 4.6) | FastAPI, data pipelines, APIs |
| Frontend development | Coding sub-agents (Opus 4.6) | React dashboard |
| Data engineering | Coding sub-agents (Opus 4.6) | Ingestion, normalization, storage |
| ML/scoring | Coding sub-agents (Opus 4.6) | Propensity models, NLP |
| Testing | Per-feature sub-agents | Unit + integration per sprint |
| Deployment | HAL + exec tools | DigitalOcean, Docker |

**Advantage:** Parallel sprint execution — multiple sub-agents build different modules simultaneously. Sprint 1 that would take a human team 2 weeks takes 2-4 days with parallel AI execution.

**What it is:** A research/intelligence page that demonstrates the Blue Wave capability without fully revealing the system. Designed to make sophisticated political operatives say "I need to talk to these people."

**Page content:**
- Hero: "A New Kind of Political Intelligence" — AI-native campaign analytics at scale
- The gap: what campaigns know vs. what they could know (data visualization mockup)
- Capability showcase: sample race intelligence snapshot (using real public data — e.g., top 5 Senate toss-ups with live fundraising deltas, polling trends, competitive index)
- The HAL advantage section: 7 AI-native capabilities framed for political audience (no mention of "AI" directly — use: precision targeting, real-time intelligence, autonomous optimization, 24/7 signal monitoring)
- "What we're building" — brief Phase 1-3 roadmap teaser
- Call to action: "Request a briefing" → mailto:alvelda@brainworks.ai
- Brainworks branding throughout (navy #112337, accent blue #527EFF, Source Sans Pro)
- Mobile responsive, clean, McKinsey-meets-campaign-war-room aesthetic

## Phase 5: Live Data Integration & Platform Hardening (Next)
**Goal:** Upgrade from hardcoded/demo data to live data feeds; add critical operational features before commercial deployment

### Sprint 5.1: Live Data Integration
**Priority:** High — bridges gap from demonstration to operational platform
- [ ] **FEC API → Ferguson Scores**: real-time fundraising → investor bloc alignment → live Ferguson viability score updates
- [ ] **Real Signal Donor Tracking**: FEC contribution monitoring for 68 named actors; alert when a tracked actor's committee files
- [ ] **Real Cascade Probability Engine**: replace hardcoded intervention sequences with live-weight Monte Carlo using current actor status
- [ ] **Live Actor Status Updates**: ingest news + FEC data to update actor access difficulty and influence weight in real time
- [ ] **Invisible Primary Timeline**: auto-update calendar milestones as key events occur

**Milestone:** Ferguson Tracker scores update daily from real FEC data; at least 10 actor statuses tracked in real time

### Sprint 5.2: Actor Database Management UI
**Priority:** High — operational necessity for intelligence staff
- [ ] **Actor CRUD interface**: add/edit/delete actors, update influence weights, log access status changes
- [ ] **Intelligence logging**: log new intelligence against an actor (meeting notes, public statements, FEC activity)
- [ ] **Relationship editor**: add/remove/edit causal edges in the actor graph
- [ ] **Confidence grade workflow**: allow analysts to review and grade causal evidence (A/B/C)
- [ ] **Audit log**: track all changes with timestamp and source
- [ ] **Export**: download actor database as CSV or JSON for offline analysis

**Milestone:** Intelligence staff can update actor database without code changes

### Sprint 5.3: Notification & Alert System
**Priority:** High — real-time signal tracking is a core platform promise
- [ ] **Signal donor commit alerts**: notify when a tracked signal donor makes a significant commitment (FEC threshold)
- [ ] **Key actor movement alerts**: notify when a Tier 1 actor (Obama, Clyburn, Katzenberg) endorses, speaks publicly, or files
- [ ] **Cascade trigger detection**: alert when an intervention sequence reaches a triggering threshold
- [ ] **Probability shift alerts**: notify when a candidate's Ferguson viability score moves >5 points
- [ ] **Alert channels**: Telegram (immediate), email digest (daily), dashboard inbox
- [ ] **Alert preferences**: per-user notification settings, alert suppression windows

**Milestone:** Platform sends real-time Telegram alerts for any Tier 1 actor movement

### Sprint 5.4: Sharing, Export & Collaboration
**Priority:** Medium — required for client-facing use
- [ ] **PDF tactical brief export**: generate PDF version of any candidate's tactical intervention brief
- [ ] **Shareable intelligence links**: time-limited, password-protected shareable URLs for specific pages/views
- [ ] **Network graph export**: PNG/SVG export of D3 force graph at any state
- [ ] **Ferguson scorecard PDF**: exportable 1-page candidate viability summary
- [ ] **Printable intelligence report**: CSS print stylesheet for invisible-primary-report.html
- [ ] **API access for partners**: read-only API endpoints for 2028 candidate scores and actor network

**Milestone:** Platform can generate shareable PDF briefs for client meetings in <60 seconds

### Sprint 5.5: User Authentication & Access Control
**Priority:** High — required before any external access (sensitive political intelligence)
- [ ] **Login system**: email/password auth with 2FA
- [ ] **Role-based access**: admin, analyst, read-only viewer
- [ ] **Session management**: secure JWT, session timeout, activity logging
- [ ] **Page-level gating**: Ferguson Tracker, Network Ops, Intelligence Report require auth
- [ ] **Invitation system**: admin can invite team members with role assignment
- [ ] **Audit log**: track page views, data exports, intelligence log entries
- [ ] **Rate limiting**: prevent bulk scraping of actor database

**Milestone:** All 3 intelligence pages require authenticated login; no public access to actor/intervention data
