A running record of ELP and CEOA working sessions with John. Each card in the gallery below is one meeting: its date, attendees, decisions, and action items.
Ethan demos and onboards John into the Legacy Map app (the ELP Platform). Bob walked the same link just before. Much of the second half is John thinking out loud about product strategy: high signal.

Bugs Found Live
Field clicks did not register for John: clicking a field, adding a goal, or entering target age did nothing (a refresh did not fix it). Works on Ethan's dev machine but not John's session. This was the biggest blocker.
PDF upload and AI extraction was mid-fix during the call.
Google Drive import is not connected yet.
Coach option list does not auto-scroll when options appear.
Coach moves on too fast: if a section is open or incomplete it jumps ahead instead of encouraging a third entry. If something is open, do not move on to the next one.
Product & Strategy (John, high signal)
Reminders as an MVP feature (Dennis's request): prompt Sunday night and Monday morning for the weekly triangle, and at month and quarter end. John talked himself into including reminders in the MVP as the accountability piece that makes people want it.
Printing is a must-have for John's own coaching workflow. He wants to read off paper, not toggle screens. Add to MVP.
This is a platform: John realized the app compounds value using the combined knowledge, goal sets, and experiences of everyone who inputs into it.
Chad partnership / equity idea: Chad runs his own beta AI platform (until July 10) and invited John and Ethan. John floats cross-equity, a small piece of a big thing. He has Chad's quarterly tomorrow.
Pricing kicked around: a consumer play with a signed book plus 90 days of Virtual John access ($25 to $39), and $1,200 per month Virtual John for a client like Kristin at Salvador's company.
