The Plan & where we are

One page, always current. Detailed evidence: master book review · 16 Jul architecture report

Status right now

Fixed today (the bilingual PDF confusion): masters are now English-only artifacts by rule — the master order carries "languages":"en" and the renderer drops the Polish layer (v2.9). Your Polish was never machine-translated: the on-disk check showed the PDF carried my hand-written PL verbatim (the masculine Leo variant, which reads differently from the Kaja sample you saw). New hard rule in PLAN.md: PL text = my hand-written text_pl_m/f only, never machine-translated, applied per customer order — never on masters. All documentation was consolidated into a single PLAN.md so any model, however weak, lands on the same rules.

The plan (three phases)

Phase 1 — Perfect & lock the master book (now)

Story outfit pinned (your Option A): navy tricorn with gold trim, white shirt, blue vest, brown trousers, buckle boots; pyjamas on bath/bed pages, hat on the bedpost. You approve every page by eye; rejects get judge-gated re-rolls; the approved set is frozen and never regenerated. Warning kept on file: p01's gold map fails half its rolls — always best-of-N it.

Phase 2 — Perfect the injection (against locked masters only)

Signature sheets of both children go into the swap prompt and the judge (teeth explicitly listed). Your gap-tooth find is the regression test. Then the diversity matrix re-runs (Kaja, Amira, Martyna × page types). The injected Kaja book stays evidence, not product.

Phase 3 — Product

D3 demo sign-off → D4 BookVault proof order → your story read-throughs → Polish batch → the website (below) → launch.

The website plan (D5) — including your flagship idea

1. Catalog + "help me choose" chat (ships at launch)

Instead of the daunting picker grid every competitor has, a small chat asks about the child (age, the moment, what they love) and recommends from our 11 titles. Low risk, nearly free, doubles as lead capture.

2. Bespoke Story Studio — the flagship (your idea, 17 Jul, awaiting your go)

The customer talks to the storyteller: "I need a book to help my daughter stop fearing spiders." The chat asks what I'd ask — name, age, what she loves, gentle or funny, who else appears, EN/PL/both — then writes a live pitch and page-by-page outline the customer can tweak in conversation. Photo upload → watermarked sample (cover + 2–3 real pages with their child) → payment → full book with human QC.

AspectCall
Price£44.99–49.99 (vs £29.99 catalog) — bespoke has no master, so every page is generated + QC'd per order; the premium pays for that
PhasingA: concierge-manual, 3–5 real customers, £0 build — proves people pay · B: chat widget, semi-manual generation · C: fully self-serve
GuardrailsNo branded IP (no "make him Spider-Man"), sensitive-themes policy, style samples up front, samples gated behind photo+email or deposit
Positioning"We don't sell you a book. We write yours." Catalog = ready-made favourites

Open for your decision: sign-off on the concept, the price point, and whether the flagship ships at launch or as the follow-up once masters + injection are locked (my lean: choose-helper at launch, Studio right after).
