What’s in and what’s out.

In-Scope Items

1. Authentication & Authorization
   • Federated login (LinkedIn, Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra) and fallback username/password.
   • In system persona support (detailed modelling of user personas in system)
   • Role-based permissions
   • Multi-customer user isolation.
2. Billing & Subscription Management
   • Integration with Stripe for subscription tiers, usage-based billing, and payment methods.
   • Automatic invoicing, transaction tracking, and financial reporting modules
   • Integration with Stripe Billing for subscription management and PO based billing
3. Customer Management
   • Ability to partition data and configurations per client (customer).
   • Admin dashboards for each customer to manage their own users and usage.
4. Configuration Management
   • Feature Flagging via Firebase Remote Config.
   • Centralized environment settings to control environment variables and toggles.
5. Logging & Monitoring
   • Central logging through Cloud Functions Logger.
   • Performance dashboards integrated with Firebase monitoring tools.
6. DevOps Pipeline
   • Standardized CI/CD templates with GitHub Actions to launch apps
   • Standardized staging and production environments
   • Standardized environment standup in Google Cloud for companies
   • Standardized integration app setup (LinkedIn, etc.)
   • Standardized development environment leveraging Cursor for AI accelerated development
   • Environment scripts to setup local testing
   • Test deployment scripts for remote builds
7. Core Front-End Framework
   • Basic React + Material UI template, consistent design guidelines, SSR with Next.js.
     1. Note: The design language and systems will be standardized across apps with relative minor customization in app look and feel for each app.   This will ensure the apps have a consistent look and feel should we wish to merge them into a stack in the future
   • Responsive UI elements for typical enterprise workflows (tables, forms, dashboards).
8. Project Management & Documentation
   • GitHub Projects for task tracking.
   • Basic developer documentation in GitHub wiki.

Out-of-Scope Items

1. Native Mobile Applications
   • While the platform includes some mobile-friendly aspects, building dedicated iOS/Android apps is not part of the initial scope.
2. Advanced Custom Analytics
   • Deep, product-specific analytics or custom ML pipelines are left to the application layer built on top of the Baseplate.
3. Enterprise Compliance Certifications
   • While best practices for security and data protection are included, official SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other certifications are not in scope initially.
   • The support here is best practice support such that should the app need to complete a SOC 2 certification there’s a straightforward path for that
4. Full Localization or Multi-Language Support
   • The platform is built with localization in mind but does not ship with fully translated content or advanced i18n solutions at MVP stage.
5. Extensive LLM Deployment
   • The solution provides placeholders for LLM integrations, but advanced AI/ML features (beyond the standard connections) remain outside initial scope and will be handled by specific applications.
