# SCOPE

## One-liner

Auto-regulating market value exploring price engine.

## Core Idea

`adaptive-pricing` provides a practical framework for defining, evaluating,
adapting, and implementing pricing models across the product lifecycle. See
`INTENT.md` for the full problem space, lifecycle model, and strategic direction.

## In Scope

- Generic framework documentation (`INTENT.md`, `docs/`, `research/`, `registry/`).
- Pricing model vocabulary, lifecycle reasoning, and capability registry.
- Project-specific deployments under `projects/<slug>/`.
- State Hub workplans under `workplans/` (ADR-001).

## Out of Scope

- Owning unrelated adjacent systems (Bubble.io, Stripe, OpenRouter runtimes).
- Making irreversible operational or pricing decisions without human approval.
- Project-specific MVP material in generic doc paths (use `projects/<slug>/`).

## Current State

- **Phase:** early framework — documentation, research, and registry scaffolding.
- **Runtime:** none in this repo yet; first implementation is the Coulomb Social
  Economic Observatory MVP (`ADAPTIVE-WP-0002`).
- **Bootstrap:** State Hub integration (`ADAPTIVE-WP-0001`) wires agent orientation,
  workplan tracking, and custodian brief sync.

## Getting Oriented

- Start with: `INTENT.md`
- Product requirements (generic): `docs/ProductRequirementsDocument.md`
- Agent instructions: `AGENTS.md`
- Workplans: `workplans/`
- Coulomb MVP artifacts: `projects/coulomb-pricing/`
- Offline hub brief: `.custodian-brief.md`
