System / case study

Fictional people for product demos

CastStock as a case study: empty products, demo credibility, persona consistency, licensing risk, and product seeding.

Case study status

draft-needed

This page is intentionally structured for future architecture breakdowns. The goal is not to impress with buzzwords, but to show system thinking, tradeoffs, and clarity under pressure.

Architecture diagram placeholder

Add a sanitized visual here: services, ingestion flow, publishing lifecycle, AI processing, orchestration, or integration topology.

Implementation notes

Explain the real constraints, not just the stack. This is where authority gets built.

Operational reality

Include the messy parts: migration pain, unclear ownership, scaling surprises, or why the first architecture failed.
