02 Product

Mission: Build tools people genuinely love using.

The Product area contains the first concrete product layers of Companion Labs: Field Reports, Sales Companion, Concierge MVP and the Companion Memory Model.

Key Modules

• sales-companion/ — product principles, the Mobile Field Companion core idea, the Mobile Capture Flow, Route Intelligence Flow, competitive differentiation guardrails, the Company Insight Layer and the Market Map Layer.
• field-reports/ — real-world field intelligence translated into structured reports.
• concierge-mvp/ — manual and AI-assisted MVP workflow before product automation.
• companion-memory-model/ — early thinking around how Companion remembers relationships, context and market signals.

Product North Star

Companion should not force CRM behaviour.

Companion should help people in the interior ecosystem capture reality in the moment, understand what matters and turn field work into relationship memory, follow-up discipline and market intelligence.

Current Product Flow

The Sales Companion module now contains the first concrete product flow:

• sales-companion/mobile-field-companion-principle-v0.1.md defines the product core.
• sales-companion/mobile-capture-flow-v0.1.md defines the first mobile capture workflow.

This means v2.5 should not start from a generic dashboard. It should start from the field moment: user speaks, adds photos, confirms extraction and receives follow-up outputs.

Route Intelligence Layer

The Sales Companion module now also contains the first trip-planning and route-intelligence flow:

• sales-companion/route-intelligence-flow-v0.1.md

This defines how a city or regional sales trip begins: fixed appointments, acquisition targets, local discovery, natural map-style search prompts, route building, nearby tips and during-day adaptation.

Competitive Differentiation Layer

The Sales Companion module now also contains product guardrails for differentiation from adjacent representative workflow tools:

• sales-companion/competitive-differentiation-v0.1.md

This defines the boundary: Companion is not representative administration, a CRM skin or a boss-control dashboard. It is a mobile field intelligence companion for the Interior ecosystem.

Company Insight Layer

The Sales Companion module now also contains the company-side insight layer:

• sales-companion/company-insight-layer-v0.1.md

This defines how field activity becomes useful market intelligence for the organisation behind the Sales Manager without turning Companion into Berichtheft software, diary software or a boss-control dashboard.

Core principle:

The field person gets a companion. The company gets market intelligence.

Market Map Layer

The Sales Companion module now also contains the regional ecosystem map layer:

• sales-companion/market-map-layer-v0.1.md

This defines how visited prospects, customers, local tips and no-fit learnings are categorised and shown as regional market intelligence.

Core principle:

The map does not show where the Sales Manager has been. It shows how the market is taking shape.

v2.4.7 Addition — Companion Pipeline / Project Model

• sales-companion/companion-pipeline-project-model-v0.1.md defines the Contract-Interior project model and the new MVP priority.
• The key shift: capture is input; project intelligence is the differentiator.

Sales Companion Architecture

The Sales Companion product is now organized through sales-companion/master-product-architecture-v0.1.md.

Core flow: Route → Field → Capture → Relationship → Project → Map → Insight.
