Question#
Individual creator, classroom, studio team, or internal production first?
Recommendation#
Individual creator learner first: it matches the walking-skeleton persona (learner filmmaker), requires no classroom moderation, minor-consent, or enterprise tenancy at launch, and exercises every core loop (ingest, rights, study, notebook, practice) with the smallest policy surface. Classroom follows once YSD-0137 moderation policies are approved.
Options considered#
- Classroom — deferred: pulls in YSD-4054 minor consent, YSD-4074 moderation, and institution controls before the core loop exists.
- Studio team — deferred: needs enterprise tenancy/SSO and team review flows.
- Internal production — viable pilot audience but not a customer segment; keep as dogfooding channel.
Consequences#
- Tenancy ships single-user-project-first; collaboration contracts (Section 2) still model members so classroom/team do not require schema breaks.
- Moderation/consent surfaces are contract-ready but UI-deferred.
Machine-enforced outcome (once approved)#
Onboarding flow, pricing flags, and moderation feature flags encode the segment; YSD-1014 flags gate classroom/team surfaces off.
