+# GRA-2101 Strategic Review — 2026-06-04
+
+Source issue: GRA-2101
+
+## Decisions
+
+KEPT:
+- Make Gradata the category-defining procedural-memory product for AI agents
+- FUNDABILITY: YC S26 application + 3 non-YC angles
+- SOCIAL PROOF: 10 public dev advocates + 5 case studies
+- PRODUCT RELIABILITY: Fix P0 bugs
+- DISTRIBUTION: 1,000 weekly active developers using Gradata SDK/CLI
+
+CANCELLED:
+- None. No active goal meets the cancellation rule: idle for 7+ days and completion_rate < 0.3. All five active goals show activity within about 48 hours.
+
+CREATED:
+- None. Each active goal already has actionable todo/in_progress inventory. More goals or issues would increase backlog bloat rather than improve throughput.
+
+TOP_BLOCKER:
+- Engineering throughput / shipped-code bottleneck. Snapshot showed 124 todo, 55 blocked, 1 in_progress, and 4 done in the last 24h, while gradata and gradata-cloud showed 0 commits in the last 24h. The highest-leverage unblock is converting existing reliability/procedural-memory work into merged code.
+
+RECOMMENDED_FOCUS:
+- Next 6h: zero-external-dependency engineering only.
+- Prioritize PRODUCT RELIABILITY P0 bugs and Gradata core procedural-memory absorption.
+- Increase real WIP from 1 in_progress by moving focused reliability fixes through PR/merge.
+- Use internal design/decision notes only where they unblock the 55 blocked issues.
+- Defer credential-dependent growth/social execution.
+- Do not recreate YC/a16z/dogfood work.
+
+## Snapshot evidence
+
+- Issues by status: blocked 55, todo 124, done 40, in_review 2, cancelled 277, in_progress 1, backlog 1.
+- Active goals: 5.
+- Done in last 24h: 4.
+- Cloud brain: 11,060 corrections, 244 lessons, last_sync 2026-06-03T11:03.
+- Git activity 24h: gradata 0 commits; gradata-cloud 0 commits.

+Analysis route: tiered-cli-router high_stakes_review, [claude/opus-4-7].
