Idea Triage
The pre-Linear funnel. Raw ideas land here, get discussed, then either graduate to roadmap (+ a Linear epic) or are rejected with rationale (so they’re not re-litigated later). Nothing here is in Linear yet — that’s the point: triage in the brain keeps Linear clean. Ideas can be fed automatically from call ingests.
Lifecycle
new → discussing → accepted (→ roadmap + Linear epic) | rejected (keep, with why) | parked (revisit trigger noted)
Triage list
| Idea | Source | Status | Notes / decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open-source growth-templates (publish a free template/SDK to pull users in, then onboard them onto the paid offering) | (standup 2026-06-23 / Elliot + Vincent) | discussing | Elliot: a growth mechanic — the Outfit model, gets users in the door. Vincent: a marketing play, not a requirement (Wix doesn’t open-source its builder — and wani-wani open-sources its templates, but that’s optional). Both agree it’s an interesting direction; no decision — revisit when packaging the MCP-distribution offering (2026-06-15-offering-pricing-fundraise). |
| Rank MCP servers by discoverability optimization (public index of how well servers are built for discovery — “MCP servers are not ranked equally”) | (founder chat 2026-07-03 / Vincent) | new | Natural extension of the ADO score toward the build market; lead-gen for build-offering. Vincent: “a future thing we can investigate and rank.” |
| Templated customer journeys (pre-built journey/funnel templates a customer clones instead of starting from raw prompts) | (internal 2026-06-25 + 2026-07-03 / both founders warm) | discussing | Surfaced twice in two weeks; a fast-follow candidate once DB/Monday onboarding shows which journeys repeat. Overlaps the Wani Wani funnel-template SDK (wani-wani) — differentiation = knowledge-injection/full-service, not open templates. |
| Versioned-tool performance UI (per-version score delta on each connector submission — “we already track versions, need to surface it”) | (internal 2026-07-03 / Vincent) | new | Data already exists (SCD2 version history powers the decoded research); UI = show operators score-before/after per release. Natural companion to the daily prediction loop. |
| (seed me) | — | new | First real triage pass to populate this — pull candidates from recent calls + the roadmap “Later” tail. |
Open questions
- Should accepted ideas auto-open a Linear epic, or stay manual?
- Wire call-ingest to drop call-surfaced ideas here as
newrows?
Timeline
- [2026-06-23] (standup — Vincent + Elliot) First real idea filed: open-source growth-templates (
discussing) — Elliot frames it as a growth mechanic (Outfit model), Vincent as an optional marketing play; surfaced alongside the full-customer-journey / MCP-distribution direction. - [2026-06-14] (setup) Idea-triage funnel created. Lifecycle defined; awaiting a first triage pass to seed real ideas.
