AI Session Handoff — Cattle Tracking

Disclaimer: This initiative is strictly vendor-neutral. Do not re-introduce legacy branding ("FluxCow", "FluxRig") or proprietary commercial names in public or strategic documentation.

This file is the single "resume point" for the initiative's AI sessions. Update it at the end of every working session.

1. Project Context & Current Sprint

  • Initiative: Infrastructure-Zero Cattle Tracking for Extensive Ranching.
  • Target Market: Mercosur (250M Head TAM); Initially Uruguay/Brazil/Argentina/Paraguay.
  • Phase: Architecture Hardening / Strategic Partner Outreach (Rollout: April 2026).
  • Core Strategy: 2.5M Head Target (97%); 75,000 Leader Hubs (3% Density); 45,000 NTN Quota (Satellite).
  • Economics: $20.00 Member Tag BOM; 60% NTN connectivity mandate.

2. Session Audit Trail

Date Summary of Accomplishments
2026-03-11 Generated Strategic Brief and Economics Blueprint. Centralized the generation pipeline using high-fidelity Playwright/Jinja2. Fixed JAAB banner alignment and refined Makefile targets.
2026-03-21 LATAM Strategy Integration: Integrated MWC/EW 2026 report. Formalized "Virtual Fencing" roadmap. Vetted Embit, Sateliot, e-peas, and Dracula Technologies as technical partners. Registered ANII Innovagro 2026 grant as Phase 1 reserve.
2026-04-05 Review & Recovery Phase: Performed a project-wide rescue following a session interruption. Standardized all math to the $20.00 Member Tag BOM and 45,000 active NTN connections. Surgically purged final legacy residues ("FluxCow", "FluxDots") from README, mkdocs config, and tech briefs. Migrated architecture alignment to a vendor-neutral structure.
2026-04-05 April 2026 Strategic Pivot: Initial anonymization sweep. Purged "FluxCow", "FluxRig", and "Telemetry" references, replacing them with "Cattle Tracking". Recalibrated economic model targets.

3. Active Architecture Definitions

  • The "Mesh": 1 Leader Gateway (Cowbell) per 33 Member Tags.
  • Backhaul Mix: 60% NTN (Satellite - 3GPP Rel-17 NB-NTN) / 40% Terrestrial (LTE-M/NB-IoT).
  • Economic Target: <$50 TCO per 3-year productive cycle per animal.
  • Regulatory Hooks: Mandatory EUDR 2026 compliance + SNIG (Uruguay) integration.

4. Pending / Next Steps

  1. Production Verification: Execute make all to generate finalized strategic PDFs.
  2. Hardware Path: Finalize the $12.50 vs $20.00 BOM trade-off for Member Tags in the next silicon review.
  3. Connectivity ADR: Formalize the selection between Sateliot and Skylo for the NTN layer.
