Hundo Brain-Gap Analysis Report: Week of 2026-07-12

ISSUES + BUGS (fix these):
- [high] Hundo overwrites existing formatting when making small edits to generated pages (e.g., Partner HQ). User asked for a single button change and the entire page was regenerated with wrong fonts and lost layout. (Page Generation / UI Builder): User complained about lost formatting and had to repeatedly ask to revert.
- [high] Chat messages are cutting off, preventing users from reading the full output. (Chat UI Output Truncation): User explicitly stated they could not read what Hundo was writing.
- [medium] Automated sourcing engine failed silently when criteria were too strict. (Prospecting / Sourcing Engine): Sourcing engine failed to identify new candidates, pausing outreach without offering a solution.

WHO'S USING HUNDO:
- Unonboarded/Blank Slate Users (6): Stuck at Level 1, looping on foundational audit tasks.
- High-Ticket Service Agencies (2): Levels 2-4. Complex deals, high margins, resistant to standard affiliate tracking.
- Solo/SMB Consultants (2): Levels 1-3. Lean operations, building initial infrastructure.

TOP QUESTION THEMES:
not enough data

WHERE PEOPLE GET STUCK:
- P90 Level 1 Audit: 6 users are repeating the exact same audit recaps (Define ICP, list 20 partners, R.A.R.E. score) across multiple sessions without advancing to outreach. Hundo is not forcing the transition from planning to action.
- P90 Level 4 Recruit (Sourcing): Automated 5x5 sourcing engine failed to identify new candidates for a high-ticket agency due to restrictive criteria. Hundo lacked a fallback or prompt to broaden the search.

BRAIN GAPS (authoring backlog):
- [high / knowledge] Sector-specific compliance rules for referral fees (e.g., FTEs at nonprofits cannot accept vendor referral fees).
 evidence: User flagged that paying a referral fee to an FTE at a large nonprofit might violate their employment terms.
 fix: new skill: partnership-compliance-guidelines -> Add a skill covering legal and employment constraints on referral payments by sector.
- [high / knowledge] Hundo defaults to pushing affiliate tracking software (Dub) even when users are running high-ticket, relationship-driven businesses that rely on manual warm intros.
 evidence: Users rejected Dub and links, preferring a 'Jen recommended I reach out' manual intro flow tracked via Calendly.
 fix: partner-platform-selection -> Expand this skill to include manual-intro tracking workflows for high-ticket services (no tracking links required).
- [high / capability] Surgical edits to generated pages trigger full DOM regeneration.
 evidence: User requested a single UI tweak, lost the whole layout.
 fix: new capability: incremental-page-editing -> Product roadmap item for Hundo to modify specific sections of a generated page without rewriting the whole page.
- [medium / capability] Sourcing engine does not auto-broaden or prompt the user when zero results are returned.
 evidence: Sourcing engine failed to identify new candidates today, pausing outreach.
 fix: new capability: sourcing-engine-fallback -> Product roadmap item for the automated sourcing engine to auto-broaden criteria or prompt the user if zero results are returned.

EDUCATION GAPS (teach better):
- Escaping the Level 1 Audit Loop: Multiple users are looping through the same 'Define ICP, list 20 companies' tasks across multiple sessions. Hundo needs to proactively teach and force users to transition from planning to sending their first outreach message.
- High-Ticket vs. SaaS Partnership Mechanics: Users with $5k+ retainers resist standard affiliate tracking. Hundo should proactively teach the 'manual intro' approach when it detects high-ticket service models instead of defaulting to SaaS-style affiliate links.

CONTENT ENGINE (public-safe):
- [blog] Why High-Ticket Agencies Should Skip Affiliate Links for Partner Intros
 hook: Tracking links break down in relationship-driven $5k+ deals. Here is how to build a manual intro system that scales without friction.
- [social] The non-profit partner compliance trap
 hook: Did you know paying a referral fee to an FTE at a large nonprofit might violate their employment terms? How to structure value-exchanges instead.
- [video] How to escape the Partnership Audit Loop
 hook: 70% of partnership programs die at Level 1 because founders keep perfecting their ICP instead of sending outreach. Here is how to break the loop.

ACTION PLAN THIS WEEK:
- [high / bug] Fix chat output truncation so users can read long messages.
- [high / bug] Implement incremental editing for generated pages to preserve existing formatting.
- [high / brain] Write new skill: partnership-compliance-guidelines covering sector-specific referral fee restrictions.
- [high / brain] Expand partner-platform-selection with manual-intro workflows for high-ticket services.
- [high / education] Proactively prompt Level 1 users to send their first outreach message instead of letting them re-run the audit tasks.
- [medium / bug] Add fallback logic to the automated sourcing engine when criteria are too strict.
- [medium / education] When high-ticket users reject affiliate software, teach the manual intro tracking method immediately.
- [medium / content] Produce the high-ticket intro blog, nonprofit compliance social post, and audit loop video.

TOP MOVE: Fix the UI generation and chat truncation bugs immediately, as they are directly blocking power users from executing. Then, upgrade the brain to handle high-ticket manual intros and nonprofit compliance, which are currently unsupported paths.

⑤ How it is indexed for retrieval

Split into 7 chunks, each turned into a ~768-number embedding (a numeric fingerprint of its meaning) so the brain can find it by meaning, not just keywords. Stored in the chunks table.

this item  →  7 chunks  →  7 embeddings  →  searchable

⑥ The raw record (structure)

The same item as structured data, one row in items, linked to its immutable copy in sources and its chunks.
