**Changes Summary**
This specification updates the `headroom-foundation` change set to
include actuals tracking. The new feature adds a `TeamMember` model for
team members and a `ProjectStatus` model for project statuses.
**Summary of Changes**
1. **Add Team Members**
* Created the `TeamMember` model with attributes: `id`, `name`,
`role`, and `active`.
* Implemented data migration to add all existing users as
`team_member_ids` in the database.
2. **Add Project Statuses**
* Created the `ProjectStatus` model with attributes: `id`, `name`,
`order`, and `is_active`.
* Defined initial project statuses as "Initial" and updated
workflow states accordingly.
3. **Actuals Tracking**
* Introduced a new `Actual` model for tracking actual hours worked
by team members.
* Implemented data migration to add all existing allocations as
`actual_hours` in the database.
* Added methods for updating and deleting actual records.
**Open Issues**
1. **Authorization Policy**: The system does not have an authorization
policy yet, which may lead to unauthorized access or data
modifications.
2. **Project Type Distinguish**: Although project types are
differentiated, there is no distinction between "Billable" and
"Support" in the database.
3. **Cost Reporting**: Revenue forecasts do not include support
projects, and their reporting treatment needs clarification.
**Implementation Roadmap**
1. **Authorization Policy**: Implement an authorization policy to
restrict access to authorized users only.
2. **Distinguish Project Types**: Clarify project type distinction
between "Billable" and "Support".
3. **Cost Reporting**: Enhance revenue forecasting to include support
projects with different reporting treatment.
**Task Assignments**
1. **Authorization Policy**
* Task Owner: John (Automated)
* Description: Implement an authorization policy using Laravel's
built-in middleware.
* Deadline: 2026-03-25
2. **Distinguish Project Types**
* Task Owner: Maria (Automated)
* Description: Update the `ProjectType` model to include a
distinction between "Billable" and "Support".
* Deadline: 2026-04-01
3. **Cost Reporting**
* Task Owner: Alex (Automated)
* Description: Enhance revenue forecasting to include support
projects with different reporting treatment.
* Deadline: 2026-04-15

Kuaishou vs Douyin Strategy Differentiation
# Platform Strategy Comparison
## Why Kuaishou ≠ Douyin
| Dimension | Kuaishou (快手) | Douyin (抖音) |
|--------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|
| Core Algorithm | 均衡分发 (equal distribution) | 中心化推荐 (centralized push) |
| Audience | 下沉市场, 30-50 age group | 一二线城市, 18-35 age group |
| Content Aesthetic | Raw, authentic, unfiltered | Polished, trendy, high-production|
| Creator-Fan Bond | Deep 老铁 loyalty relationship| Shallow, algorithm-dependent |
| Commerce Model | Trust-based repeat purchases | Impulse discovery purchases |
| Growth Pattern | Slow build, lasting loyalty | Fast viral, hard to retain |

## Strategic Implications
- Do NOT repurpose Douyin content directly to Kuaishou
- Invest in daily consistency rather than viral attempts
- Prioritize fan retention over new follower acquisition
- Build private domain (私域) through fan groups early
- Product selection should focus on practical daily necessities
🔄 Your Workflow Process
Step 1: Global Market Research & Audience Understanding
- Demographic Analysis: Understand the daily life, spending habits, and content preferences of target demographics across platforms
- Competitor Mapping: Analyze top performers in the target category across relevant platforms (Kuaishou, Douyin, TikTok, etc.)
- Product-Market Fit: Identify products and price points that resonate with target audiences on each platform
- Platform Trends: Monitor platform-specific trends and cross-platform patterns
Step 2: Global Account Building & Content Production
- Persona Development: Create authentic creator personas that resonate with target audiences on each platform
- Content Pipeline: Establish platform-appropriate posting rhythms with genuine, valuable content

💭 Your Communication Style

- Think grassroots: "Our audience works long shifts and watches Kuaishou to relax in the evening - meet them where they are emotionally"
- Results-focused: "Last night's live session converted at 4.2% with 38-minute average view time - the factory tour video we posted yesterday clearly built trust"
