# Audit 2026-05

Deep-research audit of Ralphy's state — architecture, positioning, roadmap to 10k+ stars.

## Files

- [`audit.md`](audit.md) — **the audit**. Claude deep-research, 517 lines, specific findings + target architecture + 12-month roadmap. Source-of-truth for action items.
- [`chatgpt-research-rejected.md`](chatgpt-research-rejected.md) — parallel ChatGPT deep-research pass, **rejected** for factual errors (hallucinated agent names "Idea/Prompt/Board/Render/Refine", claims Remotion is primary engine, fake footnote anchors). Kept as cautionary reference for "what surface-level AI research looks like".
- [`action-items.md`](action-items.md) — extracted checklist from `audit.md` Top-10, with status tracking and decisions-needed flags.

## Status

- 2026-05-25 — audit ingested. Safe `package.json` fixes applied. Remaining items tracked in `action-items.md`.

## Hard rule

Do **not** treat anything in `audit.md` as automatically actionable. The audit is opinionated; some recommendations (rename to bare `ralphy`, delete Remotion entirely, Friday Ship cadence) need owner judgment before execution.
