Demote Coach From Product to Orchestration Layer

Capture

An unlimited conversational coach could handle everything.

Coach is powerful but should not become the whole product.

Why

This decision matters because demote Coach From Product to Orchestration Layer constrains the product toward continuity, evidence, and human judgment rather than broad AI helpfulness.

Why-Not

• chat is poor at visible parallel state;
• users lose track of commitments;
• the AI may drift;
• memory becomes opaque;
• source provenance becomes unclear;
• the daily ritual becomes optional rather than structural.

Commit

Decision: Coach is powerful but should not become the whole product.

The decision becomes a constraint on future product behavior and public positioning.

Confidence: Medium-high for public architecture; implementation details remain private and subject to launch evidence.
