+# Dev Centre North Star Spec
+
+This spec defines how the North Star should appear inside Dev Centre so Brendan sees launch readiness, not just generic module completion.
+
+## Goal
+
+When Brendan opens Dev Centre, the first screen should answer:
+
+1. Can we onboard the first paying SaaS customer?
+2. What is blocking that?
+3. Which module needs the next smallest safe action?
+
+## Recommended Layout
+
+### Top Band: North Star
+
+- Current North Star: first paying SaaS customer onboarded and retained for 90 days.
+- Stage 1 readiness score.
+- Launch status: Blocked / At Risk / Ready for first customer / In customer trial.
+- Top 3 blockers.
+- Next recommended action.
+
+### Launch Checklist
+
+Checklist groups:
+
+- Security and access
+- Tenant provisioning
+- Auth/login
+- Compliance/PDF
+- Core workflow
+- Xero/accounting
+- Onboarding assets
+- Testing
+
+### Module Readiness Table
+
+Columns:
+
+- Module
+- Stage classification
+- Build status
+- Data status
+- SaaS safety
+- Test status
+- Blocker
+- Owner
+- Next action
+
+### Blockers Panel
+
+Show only launch blockers:
+
+- login bounce
+- PDF compliance defaults
+- Xero scopes/setup
+- tenant isolation tests
+- SaaS Admin deploy
+- VPS credential/security items
+
+### First Customer Progress
+
+Fields:
+
+- Customer identified?
+- Tenant provisioned?
+- Owner login verified?
+- First quote created?
+- First invoice created?
+- Xero connected/manual fallback?
+- 7-day/30-day/90-day check-in status?
+
+## Data Needed
+
+Current Dev Centre tables can support some of this:
+
+- `dev_log_items`
+- `dev_module_status`
+- `dev_revisions`
+- `dev_improvements`
+- `dev_technical_debt`
+
+Additional fields or derived config needed:
+
+- stage classification: Stage 1, Stage 1.5, Stage 2, Later
+- launch blocker boolean
+- owner: Brendan / AI / customer / external
+- test status: not run, failing, passing, blocked
+- route promotion status from `route-module-map.json`
+- North Star checklist status
+
+## Completion Scoring Logic
+
+Readiness should not equal build completion.
+
+Suggested formula:
+
+```
+stage_1_readiness =
+  25% build_complete +
+  25% data_source_correct +
+  25% saas_safe +
+  25% tested_in_launch_flow
+```
+
+Launch blockers should cap the score:
+
+- login broken: cap Auth and overall launch at 50%
+- legal PDF issue: cap Quotes/PDF/overall launch at 70%
+- tenant isolation untested: cap overall launch at 75%
+- SaaS Admin not deployed: cap onboarding at 60%
+- Xero blocked: cap Xero at 50%, but allow manual-accounting exception if Brendan approves
+
+## Module Readiness Categories
+
+| Category | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| Stage 1 - Must Work | Required for first paying customer |
+| Stage 1.5 - Strongly Recommended | Can be manual/assisted at launch |
+| Stage 2 | Useful after first customer validates SaaS |
+| Later / Parked | Do not spend launch time |
+| Internal Only | Dev/admin tools not sold as product modules |
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+Dev Centre should show pass/fail for:
+
+- login
+- tenant creation
+- customer creation
+- quote creation
+- compliant PDF generation
+- quote acceptance
+- project/job creation
+- invoice creation
+- Xero push or manual fallback
+- cross-tenant data isolation
+- Tradify import dry run
+- Email Intake dry run
+
+## What Brendan Should See First
+
+Recommended first line:
+
+> Stage 1 SaaS launch is blocked by: login verification, PDF compliance defaults, SaaS Admin deploy, tenant isolation tests, and Xero setup decision.
+
+Then show one button or command:
+
+> Next best action: verify login on staging or approve AI to deploy SaaS Admin and PDF defaults.
+
+## Readiness Verdict
+
+Dev Centre should become the launch cockpit. The current module completion tab is useful history, but it is not a safe source of truth for Stage 1 launch decisions.
