## Resource Allocation

### Developer Time Required
- **Embeddings**: 1-2 weeks (1 developer)
- **File Compliance**: 2-3 weeks (1 developer)
- **Code Quality**: 2-3 weeks (1 developer)
- **Performance**: 3 weeks (1 developer)
- **Enhancements**: 3-4 weeks (1 developer)

- Benchmarking and profiling
- System architecture

---

## Decision Points

### Should We Proceed?
✅ **YES** - All tasks are high value and well-scoped

### What Should We Do First?
1. ✅ **Embeddings Completion** (12-17 hours) - Finish what's started, high user value
2. ✅ **File Compliance** (40-50 hours) - Required for codebase standards
3. ⏳ **Code Quality** (50-75 hours) - Production readiness

### What Can We Skip?
- ⏸️ **Performance Optimization** can wait for v0.1.13+ (not blocking)
- ⏸️ **Enhancements** can wait for v0.2.0 (future features)

### What's the MVP?
**Minimum Viable Plan**: Embeddings + File Compliance = ~52-67 hours (1.5-2 weeks)
- This gets us to 100% embeddings + 100% codebase compliance
- Everything else is enhancement
