TFD-0002: One Generic Production Line, Not Per-Product Lines

TFD-0002: One Generic Production Line, Not Per-Product Lines

Date: 2026-03-18 Status: Accepted Decided by: Board of Directors Facilitated by: Oscar (CEO)

Context

Pablo initially designed an EA-specific production line at production-lines/ea-agent/. The board corrected this — the production line should be generic, capable of producing any type of digital talent. The EA agent for STM is a work order through that line, not a separate line.

Decision

  • One production line at production-lines/digital-talent/ — handles all product types
  • Work orders at production-lines/orders/{client-slug}/ — contain all product-specific and client-specific configuration
  • The line defines HOW to build. The work order defines WHAT to build and FOR WHOM.

Structure

production-lines/
  digital-talent/         ← Generic line (stages, gates, assembly)
  orders/
    stm-ea-agent/         ← First work order (WO-001)

Consequences

  • Product-specific knowledge lives in work orders, not the line
  • New product types don't require new production lines — just new work orders
  • Line improvements benefit all products automatically
