| Date | Decision | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-08 | FreeCryptoStore, not FreeLedgerStore | "Crypto" is what people search |
| 2026-06-08 | No SDKs for simulation stores | Sims are self-contained HTML, no runtime services |
| 2026-06-08 | One Discord per store | Different audiences per domain |
| 2026-06-08 | Design + Marketing = two stores | Different users, different search intent |
| 2026-06-08 | FreeImageStore added | Unsplash model fits, high SEO value |
| 2026-06-08 | Build order: Design, Image, Marketing | Simplest to hardest |
| 2026-06-08 | ProCrypto deferred | Regulatory risk of mainnet token deployment |
