Strengths
  • File-based institutional memory persists knowledge across sessions without vector DB complexity.
  • Three-strike termination policy with exit interviews creates actual accountability for hallucinations.
  • Successor onboarding requires reading predecessor's termination packet to prevent repeat errors.
Weaknesses
  • Tightly coupled to Claude; migrating to other models might break role definitions.
  • Hard to scale beyond a single-founder experiment without human oversight.
