CLU de53ac41a5 bigtech.sucks: living database + first assessment
The database is the source of truth; the site is a view over it.

- packages/core/db/schema.sql: vendors, products, categories, the 8-dimension
  instrument, assessments, scores, evidence, findings, off-ramp, plus the
  derived v_product_score view the game reads.
- packages/core/db/build.mjs: rebuilds bigtech.db, absorbs the legacy 43-product
  roster as unassessed, applies seeds, then verifies the instrument's own rules
  (weights sum to 100, totals recompute, grades match bands, every score has a
  rationale, no tier-4 evidence on a scored dimension, reproducible-build caps
  actually enforced).
- packages/core/db/seed/0001-signal.sql: Signal Desktop 8.36.0-alpha.1 on linux,
  75.9/100 grade B, weakest dimension local_data_exposure. Evidence points at
  the re-runnable audit artifacts in the Servetus vault.
- packages/core/src/data/generated/catalog.{ts,json}: generated export.

Verified: 44 products, 1 assessed, all checks pass.

bigtech.sucks — Draw the Line

V0.1 scaffold per master spec. A retro frontier game that scopes Big Tech exposure and sequences the off-ramp.

Structure

packages/
  core/     Render-agnostic game logic, seed data, scoring
  web/      React + Vite SPA (V1 funnel)
  server/   Minimal waitlist API (email + channel only)

Quick start

npm install
npm run build -w @bigtech-sucks/core
npm run dev          # web on :5173
npm run dev:server   # waitlist API on :3001

V1 flow

Welcome → Meet Red → Draw the Line → Overworld → Showdown → Homestead → Reveal (Binary Ranch) → Waitlist

Governance

  • Creative assets are candidates — director approval required before ship
  • Company name revealed only at homestead/reveal phase
  • §13 open decisions are not silently resolved (see packages/core/src/data/config.ts)
  • Client-side sovereignty report; server stores waitlist fields only

Roadmap

  • V1.5: Terminal/SSH render (Go + Charm)
  • V2: Concierge migration, journey chronicle, physical fulfillment (stubs in v2-stubs.ts)
