Problem
Veterinary practices rely on fragmented systems and manual workflows that slow operations and limit visibility.
Constraints
- Solo developer
- Real production users
- Strict scope control
- No speculative features
- Data correctness > feature count
Approach
System-first design with explicit domain modeling, lifecycle rules, and access control enforced at the data layer.
Tradeoffs
Deferred integrations and automation in favor of a stable core model and auditable state transitions.
Outcome
Early-stage system with validated architecture and a clear path to production hardening.
Next steps
- Lock MVP cut line
- Ship first internal user
- Add audit and observability guarantees
