Epics & Stories

The work, organized by epic. For the time-phased view — which sprint, when, with exit gates — see the Sprint Plan. Each epic below is a live GitHub tracking issue; that issue is the source of truth, this page is the map.

Refreshed for Q3 2026 (Jun–Aug). The previous April–June plan is superseded — see the Sprint Plan for this quarter's context, team, and cash position.

This quarter (Q3 2026 · Jun–Aug)

The whole team is pointed at two bets — PMF via school finance and a mobile public launch — to prove product-market fit with two pilot schools. No monetization this quarter; that is a Q4 decision. Full framing, sprints, and runway live in the Sprint Plan.

Bet 1 — PMF via School Finance

School Finance Module · hogwarts#313

Build the school's own financial features — fee collection from parents, billing, salaries, payroll. The PMF wedge: the system a school runs its money through is the stickiest seat in the building. (Not Databayt-collects-from-schools billing — that is Q4+.)

• #255 Finance accounts: readiness & open work
• #263 Payment system: end-to-end audit, gaps, phased roadmap
• #264 Auto-provision fee structures at onboarding
• #269 New fee structure: reuse the announcement approach
• #273 QA: Fee Lifecycle end-to-end walkthrough
• Salaries & payroll module v1 — new, to be filed
• Finance reporting — new, to be filed

Onboarding Friction Kill · hogwarts#314

Eliminate the onboarding friction the pilot reported first-hand — make a few users love you.

• #254 Outlook/Hotmail not receiving OTP emails
• #298 no middle-school option
• #299 teacher count default (200) too high
• #300 student count multiples-of-5 not practical
• #301 / #306 responsive breakage
• #304 back button slow
• #305 add currency selection
• #307 Next button stuck after fees

PMF Pilots · hogwarts#316

Two free pilots (King Fahad — Sudanese — plus a 2nd) actively using finance + mobile, with a documented PMF signal that feeds the Q4 cash decision.

• King Fahad re-engagement + JTBD interviews
• Source 2nd free pilot (3–5 school pipeline)
• 2nd pilot onboarding
• Usage tracking on both pilots
• PMF write-up + case study → Q4 cash brief

Bet 2 — Mobile Public Launch

Mobile API Layer · hogwarts#315

Backend API layer for the iOS + Android apps. Shares the finance domain with Bet 1 (payments + invoices).

P0 — store gates

• #274 account export (data portability)
• #275 account delete
• #276 translation cache
• #277 payments (Apple Pay + Stripe)
• #278 invoices
• #279 consent (TOS, Privacy, COPPA, GDPR-K)

P1 — teacher / admin / guardian

• #281 grade entry
• #282 report cards
• #283 attendance
• #284 admin staff + classes
• #285 online exams
• #286 teacher schedule
• #287 guardian write actions
• #288 universal search

Mobile Public Launch · ios-app

Ship the Hogwarts app to the public App Store (iOS) + Google Play (Android).

• Unblock tooling — JDK, Xcode simulator/SDK, Code Connect
• App shell + navigation (Swift + Kotlin)
• Atoms → screens (auth, dashboard, attendance, fees)
• Consume the Mobile API Layer
• Store compliance (privacy, account export/delete, consent)
• Submit to both stores + public launch
• ⚠️ Prerequisite: create databayt/kotlin-app — the Android repo does not exist yet

Already shipped — the engine

The kun engine that lets six people operate like twenty. Operational since Phase 1:

Next — Q4 and beyond

Once PMF is proven this quarter, Q4 opens:

• The cash decision — light monetization, a pre-seed raise, a sponsored build, or cut burn (see Sprint Plan → Cash and runway).
• Share-economy framework — the Contribution-Units operational model and the future databayt/revenue repo (Samia-owned R&D; see Share Economy).
• Deferred products — Mkan soft launch and Souq reactivation, both parked behind Hogwarts this quarter.
