# Reference Pilot Decision

Date: 2026-05-14

## Decision

Use a small purpose-built corpus as the first maintained reference infospace.

## Rationale

`markitect-main/examples/infospace-with-history/` remains the primary migration
candidate for a larger pilot, but it contains a large public-domain book corpus
and substantial generated output. Pulling it in before the lifecycle and
evaluation baseline exists would make the new repo noisy before it is useful.

The bootstrap pilot uses this repo's own PRD/FRS intent as a compact corpus. It
proves the expected file layout, artifact manifest, relationship inspection,
collection metrics, and viability thresholding with minimal bulk.

## Follow-up

After the baseline is stable, migrate a pruned Wealth of Nations/VSM fixture or
a similarly representative slice from `markitect-main` under a separate
workplan.
