Planned Rollout Timeline
the rollout timeline goals don't match the development plan sequence for features ...
who thought this could work until FULL app has passed UAT ... THEN start alpha

| -3 mos | influencers invite members, 1000 members 50 vendors, 25 partners ( closed beta ) | can't do this phase until full app suite done INCLUDING vendor, partner integrations and payments!! | |
| Day 0 beta | open beta | ||

Project Plan Questions
Project in Smartsheet
Tasks at high level
simple card view only for scrum board / sprint mgt
q> will we use Jira plugin ? cost vs simple maint by PM for smartsheet at level 1 / 2
where are project KPIs?
Requirements questions
defer std blockchain ? sure
defer immutable ledger? not for V1 – tokens, orders, donations for taxes etc
what does impact partner is a blockchain member mean ( not a host node I assume ) ??
what is a promotion ?? a discount on an item ??
users can message or email admin ( what about other users )?? is there a message queue to receive / manage messages?
what is the 3rd party parental control on ?? login, posts ??
should we use zendesk or open-source version for support request tracking??
Feature requirements
personal data mgt for GDPR, CCPA
Sahoja Token features
see tokenisation detail table - which are MVP ??
?? no token exchange in MVP - purchase only ??
1 point = 1 token ??
token par value = $.01 USD
earn tokens
sign up = 1000
first social post = x tokens
user activity events generate email or text
no points activity in 6 mos = nudge
no points activity in 12 mos = message a donate suggestion
no login for 12 mos = message donate all token to an impact
Rewards are tokenized and referred to as “Points”
Point values = 1 cent
Minimum transaction of 10 points
Points can be bought in batches of 10
Points never expire
“Sign-on” points cannot be cashed out
Those sending points will be charged fees (see table one)
Sahoja Token Mgt
users
- earn tokens on social content, from vendors
- spend tokens on social network, impact projects, purchases
- buy tokens
- redeem tokens
Digital Currencies
currency fees
is the currency low cost for purchases and redemptions from fiat? exchange with other currencies? transactions in currency?
currency risk
is the currency a value transfer, a value store or a combination
only pure value transfer currencies eliminate majority of valuation risk to holders
A> Stellar examples - Stellar net, wallet, custom token
Stellar - xlm
value store and value transfer
stellar lost 65% over the last few years ... .22 to .065
$1.3 B
The Stellar network is an open source, distributed, and community owned network used to facilitate cross-asset transfers of value. Stellar aims to help facilitate cross-asset transfer of value at a fraction of a penny while aiming to be an open financial system that gives people of all income levels access to low-cost financial services. Stellar can handle exchanges between fiat-based currencies and between cryptocurrencies. Stellar.org, the organization that supports Stellar, is centralized like XRP and meant to handle cross platform transactions and micro transactions like XRP. However, unlike Ripple, Stellar.org is non-profit and their platform itself is open source and decentralized. Through the use of its intermediary currency Lumens (XLM), a user can send any currency that they own to anyone else in a different currency.
Stellar Keys
- currency value risk
- purchase costs from USD
- redemption costs to USD
- currency exchange fees

usdc

True financial interoperability requires a price stable means of value exchange. CENTRE’s technology for fiat-backed stablecoins brings stability to crypto. The initial implementation is USD Coin (USDC), an ERC-20 token creating possibilities in payments, lending, investing, trading and trade finance — and the ecosystem will grow as other fiat currency tokens are added.
USDC Keys
- no currency value risk
- purchase costs from USD
- redemption costs to USD
- currency exchange fees

m191227 - John Bonaccio Meeting Notes
Here are my notes from the subject meeting:
- V1 launch is scheduled for 06APR2020. Basic timeline created and team reviewed with risks identified during the meeting. Includes 6 sprints, 2 weeks each.
- Primary concern: complexity of vendor management is riskiest part of the V1 build. How do members/vendors interact? This will drive 2 test streams (member, vendor) and will need to develop front end for both. Potential mitigation strategy is to outsource to a 3rd party “marketplace commerce” solution. Getting 100 vendors onboarded before V1 will be a challenge. Potential mitigation strategy is a “template” process based on what product/service they are selling. Also utilize partnerships to expand network.
- Unit testing, system testing to be included in each of the sprints. Followed by 2 weeks of UAT prior to launch.
- Another risk identified is lack of a design loop (iteration). Potential mitigation strategy is to limit the project scope for V1 launch.
- Usability testing not included in plan. Mitigation strategy is to add 5 days before sprint 1, use external source to provide focus group testing. Kevin Carlson and Prentice Stamps will look at different options for a quick RFP from suppliers they used previously.
- Complexity of launching IoS, Android, and Web app concurrently will be a challenge and requires more resources, which could drive a proliferation of errors, bugs.
- Point valuation system and changes need to be documented.
ASSIGNMENT 1: meeting participants to individually study the timeline as it stands and
- Identify any missing steps
- Propose any adjustments to the existing worksteps
- Identify any risks we did not discuss
- Create mitigation strategies around such risks
ASSIGNMENT 2: Need to pin down the vendor management strategy in detail (John Murray, Kevin Sandlin, David Bishop with Sanjeev and Anil)
ASSIGNMENT 3: Bonaccio to review with Sanjeev
- Documented point valuation process
- Requirement for 100 vendors and 10,000 users prior to V1 launch
- Scope limitation of IoS vs. Android vs. web app – select one for launch vs. all three.
Timelines ???
m191223 - David Bishop's notes - Sahoja meeting
Just reiterating some points I made on the call.
- Assuming that each user could conduct on average between 5-10 point transactions daily (which I think is on the high end)
- MVP: 1,000 users could generate 5,000-10,000 transactions daily
- V1: 10,000 users could generate 50,000-100,000 transactions daily

Security Planning
Anil’s feedback/recommendations on security:
Made recommendations for seven layer security including
reverse proxy
2 VPCs
gives you 4 layer security
still need app level security
Azure protection
security network protection?
GDPR compliance
two factor
put userid, password, name in different tables not using referential integrity
32 bit id/guid - table 1, name
id, password - table 2, id2
id2, username - table 3
application controls RI, not database
this would pass GDPR
machine footprint
Fintech level security is a differentiator
see OAuth
Siemba to come up with security architecture plan/recommendations (action item) - Recommendation is to come up with inside out security plan.
Questions Raised
- CRM or ecommerce platform ? can we customize one ?
- ORM? - S> GORM is best
- Test platforms?? - S> Chai / Junit — Postman / Curl ---- WebDriver / JMeter
- MVP target date = 2/4
- Post MVP milestone roadmap date = 1/7
