Danny Stocker 7787a57ff8 Update Sessions 1-2: pivot to recreational boats + sticky features
Critical market corrections:
- Target: Jeanneau Prestige 40-50ft (€250K-€480K), NOT mega yachts
- Riviera Plaisance: 150+ boats/year, 20,500+ customers
- Owner profile: weekend users (20-40 days/year), NOT crew-managed

New feature priority (sticky daily engagement):
1. Inventory tracking - prevent €15K-€50K forgotten value at resale
2. Camera/monitoring - 'is my boat OK?' peace of mind
3. Maintenance log - service reminders, expense tracking
4. Contact management - one-tap call to marina/mechanic
5. Expense tracking - annual spend visibility
6. Impeccable search - structured faceted results, NO long lists

Documentation features now secondary to daily engagement.

# Cloud Session 1: Yacht Sales Market Intelligence
## NaviDocs × Riviera Plaisance Opportunity Analysis
**Session Type:** Market Research Coordinator
**Lead Agent:** Sonnet (strategic intelligence)
**Swarm Size:** 10 Haiku agents
**Token Budget:** $15 (7.5K Sonnet + 50K Haiku)
**Output:** Market analysis + competitive landscape
---
## Mission Statement
Gather comprehensive market intelligence for Riviera Plaisance Euro Voiles, focusing on **recreational motor boat owners** (Jeanneau Prestige 40-50ft, €250K-€480K range) and the daily boat management pain points that NaviDocs solves with sticky engagement features.
---
## Context (Read First)
**NaviDocs:** Daily boat management app with sticky engagement (cameras, maintenance logs, inventory tracking) that happens to have perfect documentation when you need it.
**Meeting:** Riviera Plaisance yacht sales agent (Sylvain) - pitch NaviDocs as included service with every boat sale
**Riviera Plaisance Euro Voiles Profile:**
- **Location:** Antibes, Golfe Juan, Beaulieu (French Riviera)
- **Brands:** Jeanneau, Prestige Yachts, Fountaine Pajot, Monte Carlo Yachts
- **Volume:** 150+ new boats/year, 20,500+ active customers
- **Boat Types:** Recreational motor boats 40-50ft (€250K-€480K range)
- **Owner Profile:** Weekend/holiday users (20-40 days/year), NOT crew-managed mega yachts
**Current NaviDocs Status:**
- 65% complete MVP
- Production-ready architecture (13 tables, 40+ APIs)
- OCR pipeline functional (Tesseract + Google Vision)
- Multi-tenant ready
- **Critical Gap:** Lacks sticky daily-use features (cameras, maintenance, inventory, contacts)
**Key Insights from Local Research:**
1. **Inventory tracking pain:** Owners forget €15K-€50K in upgrades when selling (tender, electronics, blinds)
2. **Passive docs don't work:** Owners ignore documentation vault until emergency/sale
3. **Sticky features needed:** Camera check, maintenance log, crew contacts, expense tracking
4. **Warranty tracking:** Still valuable (€8K-€33K losses) but secondary to daily engagement
5. **Search UX critical:** No long lists - structured, impeccable search results
