**Status:** Brainstorm → Implementation Roadmap

||
|
||
## Overview

||
|
||
This document outlines the tools needed to manage TekDek personas, content, narratives, and community. Some are critical for MVP; others can wait for Phase 2/3.

|
||
|
||
## Critical Path Tools (MVP Phase 2)
|
||
|
||
### 1. Persona Management System
|
||
**Purpose**: Central hub for persona profiles, voice guides, platform presence tracking, and character consistency.
|
||

|
||
- Platform presence tracking (which channels they publish on)
|
||
- Voice guide (how they write, speak, communicate across formats)
|
||
- Personality consistency rules (what's on-brand vs. off-brand)
|
||
- History/timeline (articles, posts, video links across all platforms)
|
||
|
||
**Data model**:
|
||
```
|
||

|
||
├── Content Log (all published content, links, dates)
|
||
└── Character Arc (current story state, traits, evolution)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Can be**: Markdown docs + knowledge base, or simple database/spreadsheet

||
|
||

|
||
3. Can we hook into analytics to track narrative arc performance?
|
||
4. What's the timeline for beta launch?
