Sprint Plan

This is the team's execution plan for the quarter — every epic we're moving, tech and non-tech, as epics → stories you can act on. Each epic carries a maturity badge and a tracker; the stories under it are the open work.

Epics is the companion page: it's the GitHub tracker map, where each issue is the source of truth. This page is the execution plan — the machine-readiness prerequisites, the cash position, and the non-tech tracks (sales, fundraising, content) the tracker doesn't carry. Per-feature truth lives in the hogwarts docs — MVP and Roadmap; if anything here conflicts, those win.

Everyone: the warm-intro list

The fastest path to a pilot is someone we already know — a warm intro from a real relationship converts far better than any scraped or cold lead. So this one is on everyone, not just sales. The sales block now has a one-click Network filter — add/edit every school owner, principal, or manager you personally know.

Get your machine ready

Every block ships through the kun engine and one workflow — issue → branch → PR → merge. Full detail in Onboarding.

1. Install everything — one paste (macOS / Linux):

Copycurl -fsSL https://kun.databayt.org/install | bash

Windows (PowerShell or cmd.exe):

Copypowershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iwr https://kun.databayt.org/install.ps1 | iex"

2. Verify green:

Copybash ~/.claude/scripts/health.sh && claude doctor

3. Start work:

Copyc "/issue"

Pick a task

Every item under Epics is a tiny piece of the quarter — each one is ~half-day to ~1-day of work, shippable as a single PR. Find one that interests you, comment "I'll take this" on the linked issue, then run c "/issue" to start. Nothing fits? Open one with /idea.

Tasks marked needs issue don't have a GitHub issue yet — open one with /issue before claiming. Tasks marked needs discussion are open team questions — start a thread under databayt/hogwarts Discussions, gather input, then summarize the decision back on the thread.

Epics at a glance

Owner-by-epic mapping lives in Epics — that's the GitHub tracker map. This page is interest-first: pick by topic, not by name.

Epics

01 — Finance & billing · Tech · Built+Polish

finance · Epic hogwarts#313

The 14-sub-block finance system — fees, invoice, salary, payroll, ledger, the lot. Block-level ~79% ready (see the honest status matrix). Top blockers: 5 of 6 ledger posting functions are orphaned (only postFeePayment is wired), no finance Prisma model has a lang field, 11 sub-modules still need the ValidationHelper migration, and 11 sub-modules have zero tests. Every line below is a step toward making this block fully production-ready end-to-end.

Fees · 85%

fees

The most feature-rich sub-block — structures, assignments, payments, fines, scholarships, sibling-discount calc, dictionary-driven notifications. What's left is hardening + the long tail of polish.

• Migrate validation.ts to ValidationHelper · needs issue
• Fee defaulters list — #56
• Add lang field to Fine so reason can use getDisplayText() · needs issue

• Fee forecast vs. actual report · needs issue
• Class-level collection-rate dashboards · needs issue

Invoice · 90%

invoice

131 tests passing, multi-tenant via getTenantContext(), RBAC wired. What's left is PDF + print, an email-template upgrade, and closing the ledger gap.

• Rate limiting on sendInvoiceEmail · needs issue

Reminders & dunning

Today: WhatsApp reminder hooks exist in src/lib/whatsapp/ but aren't scheduled; the invoice backlog has email-reminder automation flagged as still-todo. Production dunning needs all three channels (email, WhatsApp, in-app) with policy + schedule + locale-aware templates.

Payroll · 65%

finance-payroll

Run processing, payslip generation, approval → disbursement. Tax is hardcoded flat 15% at actions.ts:286; the progressive brackets in config.ts are unused. No payslip PDF yet.

08 — Internationalization & translation · Tech · In Progress

translation

Infrastructure is shipped — two-tier system (ar.json / en.json dictionaries for static UI, getDisplayText() + Google Translate + DB cache for dynamic content). The work left is closing adoption gaps and hardening the contributor workflow.

Infra hardening

• Audit locale routing for edge cases (middleware redirects, RSC streaming, dynamic segments) · needs issue

Sales · Pilot · Epic hogwarts#316

Two free MENA-10 pilots actively using finance + mobile, with a documented PMF signal that feeds the Q4 cash decision. The team's own network is the top of the funnel — start with Everyone: the warm-intro list above.

14 — Content & Marketing · Non-tech · In Progress

The creative that unblocks every sales conversation downstream. The pipeline runs brainstorm → decide → produce → publish — pick from whichever stage matches your interest. Brand-curious folks start at the top, video editors and designers land in the middle, distribution-minded folks finish it.

Brainstorm & references

Gather inspiration first. Output of each task is a short doc / Notion / GitHub Discussion that the production tasks downstream can lean on.

• Demo-video moodboard: 5 inspiration links (Linear, Notion, Vercel, plus 2 EdTech — ClassDojo, Brightwheel) with a one-line note on what each does well · needs discussion
• Screenshot-pack moodboard: how Linear, Vercel, and Notion frame product shots (light/dark, device chrome vs. raw, gradients vs. flat) · needs discussion
• Tagline brainstorm: 10 English + 10 Arabic candidates with rationale; thread becomes the shortlist for the "lock the tagline" tasks below · needs discussion
• Brand-voice doc: "How does Hogwarts sound?" — concise, builder-y, Arabic-first warm; 6–8 dos / don'ts with sample lines · needs discussion
• Case-study layout references: pull Stripe customer stories, Plaid, Ramp — note structure (hero metric → quote → before/after → call to action) · needs discussion

Decide the toolkit

Each item below is a Discussion thread. Whoever claims it lists 3+ candidates with cost, Arabic support, and a single recommendation; the thread closes with the team's call.

• AI video toolkit selection: evaluate Runway, Pika, Sora, Veo, Synthesia, HeyGen — Arabic-voiceover support is a hard constraint · needs discussion
• Build vs. buy: Envato Elements / Motion Array / Storyblocks template subscription vs. starting in Adobe Premiere from scratch — compare cost, time-to-first-cut, and how much each locks our look · needs discussion
• Outsource path: brief two MENA freelance editors on Upwork / Khamsat with the moodboard, collect quotes + sample reels, compare against the in-house path · needs discussion
• AI image stack for hero art + social cards: Midjourney vs. Ideogram vs. Recraft vs. Flux — pick one for the quarter · needs discussion
• B-roll & motion source: Pexels vs. Coverr vs. Envato Elements (free vs. paid trade-offs) · needs discussion
• Voiceover: ElevenLabs Arabic vs. native VO talent on Khamsat — sample both, compare on dialect + warmth · needs discussion

Produce

Once decisions land above, this is the actual making. Production tasks reference the toolkit thread so the picker inherits the decision.

• Publish the King Fahad case study with real numbers and real screenshots · needs issue
• 2-minute demo video script (English) · blocked until the video-toolkit + brand-voice threads land · needs issue
• Arabic adaptation of the demo script (not a literal translation — adapt for warmth) · needs issue
• Record the voiceover (English + Arabic) using the chosen VO path · needs issue
• Edit + publish the demo video using the chosen toolkit / template / editor · needs issue
• Screenshot pack — light theme, English · needs issue

• Drop the demo + screenshots into the sales deck and re-export · needs issue

15 — Global Catalog · Tech · Vaporware

A platform-wide content catalog — curriculums, subjects, chapters, lessons, videos, textbooks, mock exams, qbanks — that any school can bridge into its own data. Today every school re-creates content from zero; the catalog flips that. Strong upstream of Epic 17 (Community), which exposes the catalog free to the public.

Schema & data model

• Design the global catalog Prisma schema: Curriculum, Subject, Chapter, Lesson, Resource (video / textbook / mock-exam / qbank), platform-scoped vs. school-scoped boundary · needs discussion
• Bridging model: how a school links one of its Sections to a Curriculum and inherits the tree · needs issue

• Seed the Sudan national curriculum (subjects + chapters tree) · needs issue
• Seed the Saudi (Tatweer) curriculum spine · needs issue
• Seed the IGCSE / IB skeleton for international schools · needs issue

Ops

• Storage strategy for catalog video/PDF — reuse the CDN from Epic 05 (LMS) · needs issue
• /docs/catalog page on hogwarts: what it is, schema, bridging guide · needs issue

16 — Letters & Proposals · Non-tech · In Progress

Proposal · Outreach T1–T19

The templates library is mature. This epic is the specific drafts going out this quarter — each task names the target and the template it inherits from, so the work is fill-in-the-blanks, not write-from-scratch.

Schools (pilot conversion)

17 — Community · Non-tech · In Progress

community

Offer the Catalog content (textbooks, mock exams, qbanks) free at /en/community. Free users come for the content, talk about it, and the school version converts. Most tasks block on Epic 15 (Catalog) — schema + seed must land before public consumption.

Free-content surface

• Public community browse UI (no auth) consuming the platform-scoped catalog · blocked on Epic 15 schema · needs issue
• Free textbook reader (PDF + bookmarks) · needs issue
• Free mock-exam runner (timed, no auth, share-result page) · needs issue
• Free qbank practice mode (topic filter, immediate feedback) · needs issue

Conversion funnel

• Track community-→-school conversions in analytics (which free user converted which school) · needs issue
• Onboarding email for free users who sign up (lightweight account, optional) · needs issue

Marketing & word of mouth

• Shareable result cards for mock exams ("I scored 87% on the Grade 9 Math mock") — Arabic + English · needs issue
• Brief one teacher influencer in Sudan + one in KSA on the free offering for a launch post · needs discussion
• /docs/community doc on hogwarts: what's free, who's behind it, and the school product · needs issue

Open-source contributor lane

• Publish CONTRIBUTING.md across hogwarts + kun (good-first-issue labels, dev-setup link) · needs issue
• Stand up a Discord or Slack as the chat home — pick one, link from /en/community · needs discussion
• Monthly contributor spotlight on the marketing site · needs issue

Cash and runway

We do not monetize this quarter — that is a Q4 decision. The plan is to prove product-market fit on two free pilots first, then choose how to fund the next leg.

We're in Phase 2 (MENA-10 conversion) and raise non-dilutive first — vendor credits and grants before any equity instrument. A small SAFE-cap from MENA-aware investors comes only after the non-dilutive routes are exhausted; a priced seed waits for 10 paying schools and meaningful MRR.

Once PMF is proven, Q4 opens the cash decision — light monetization, a pre-seed bridge, a sponsored build, or cutting burn. The full instrument ladder, use-of-funds, and posture live in Get support.

Not built yet

Native iOS / Android is Vaporware in the hogwarts roadmap (deferred to 2027+); we promote it to a Q3 bet as epics 09–11 above. The divergence is deliberate. The Global Catalog is also Vaporware today but now an active epic — see Epic 15 above.
