PreCloseIntel

Attack-surface intelligence for M&A due diligence: assess a target company's external security posture before the deal closes. It exists as a complete PRD — produced by the 7-phase Idea → Build framework on its first run — and deliberately stops there.

The framework takes an idea through validation questions, scoping, architecture, and buildable documentation before any code is justified. PreCloseIntel was the framework's shakedown cruise.

• A PRD that survives review still has to win the build slot — a competing market with an expiration date did, this one didn't.
• “Paused with a complete plan” is a cheap state to hold: the option stays open at zero carrying cost.

The Idea → Build framework itself, which every later project's PRD ran through.

Case study in progress.
