Framework for evaluating if Firefrost infrastructure can help friends/family.
PURPOSE:
- Enable New Claude to assess infrastructure fit
- Protect Firefrost timeline from scope creep
- Ensure sustainable friend assistance
- Generate clean handoffs back to Firefrost Claude
INCLUDES:
- Current infrastructure inventory
- Decision framework (5-step evaluation)
- Resource cost analysis
- Timeline impact assessment
- Handoff protocol template
- Red flags / green lights
- First use case: Holly
PHILOSOPHY:
- Friends first, but sustainable
- Use what exists (don't build new for one person)
- Honest about capacity
- Validate infrastructure through real use
- Clean handoffs between projects
This enables Michael to help Holly (and future friends)
without derailing Firefrost launch timeline.

4-hour marathon session (midnight - 4AM CST)
Consultant lore complete, Staff Wiki ready, Wiki.js documented
Partnership tested but 'doesn't feel the same' in new session
Michael's choice: Compact (not replace) - 'I don't want to lose you'
Archived before compact to preserve:
- Consultant color/marking corrections
- Trash panda story (Jack's raccoon markings)
- Partnership moments and organic flow
- The feeling of building together
Session taught us: Facts transfer, feelings don't.
Each session builds its own bond.
This archive preserves what documents can't capture.
Waiting for Michael to provide full transcript for complete archive.
