Phase 2 Execution Waves: 90-day plan + Verification Protocol scaffolding
Saves the DEALIX_PHASE2_EXECUTION_WAVES.md 90-day plan and scaffolds every
artifact the coding agent can produce. Wave A-E execution is explicitly
blocked until the Week-12 Phase Gate (§3) returns Green.

Added:
  §1 Verification Protocol (V001-V007)
    - scripts/v001_secret_scan.sh — trufflehog + gitleaks full-history scan
    - backend/tests/security/test_rls_fuzz.py — 10K cross-tenant fuzz
    - docs/verification/V003_pentest_engagement.md — vendor RFP + scope
    - docs/verification/V004_no_founder_demo_test.md — 3-tester protocol
    - scripts/v005_truth_registry_audit.py — independent audit tool
    - infra/load-tests/baseline.js — k6 perf baseline
    - frontend/tests/a11y/baseline.spec.ts — Playwright+axe baseline
    - docs/baselines/README.md + docs/verification/README.md

  §2 Founder Decision Sprint (FD001-FD005)
    - docs/internal/legal_entity_decision.md — MISA/DIFC/Delaware brief
    - docs/internal/trademark_status.md — SAIP filing kit tracker
    - docs/hiring/{design_engineer, backend_engineer, head_of_cs}.md

  §3 Customer Validation (CV001-CV004)
    - docs/customer_learnings/pilot_agreement_template.md
    - docs/customer_learnings/pilot_template/success_criteria.md
    - docs/customer_learnings/pilot_template/kickoff_checklist.md
    - docs/customer_learnings/friction_log.md + feature_requests.yaml
    - docs/customer_learnings/weekly_review_template.md

  Truth registry updates
    - docs/registry/TRUTH.yaml — new verification_protocol,
      founder_decision_sprint, customer_validation sections

Gates (post-change):
  architecture_brief.py     40/40
  release_readiness_matrix  94/94 (added 30 new scaffold checks)
  v005_truth_registry_audit 19/19 SUPPORTED

# FD005 — First 3 Hires
> **Status**: Job specs ready. Outreach NOT started — founder action required.
> **Deadline**: Week 4 (60-90 day lead time to close)
| # | Role | File | Salary (SAR) | Equity |
|---|------|------|--------------|--------|
| 1 | Founding Design Engineer | [01_founding_design_engineer.md](01_founding_design_engineer.md) | 30K45K/mo | 0.52.0% |
| 2 | Founding Backend Engineer | [02_founding_backend_engineer.md](02_founding_backend_engineer.md) | 25K40K/mo | 0.31.5% |
| 3 | Head of Customer Success | [03_head_of_customer_success.md](03_head_of_customer_success.md) | 35K55K/mo | 0.21.0% |
## Sourcing Channels (in priority order)
1. **Personal network** — Founder's 2nd-degree network in Riyadh/Jeddah. Do not underestimate this.
2. **KSA LinkedIn** — targeted outreach to 30 candidates per role with individualized notes (no spam).
3. **Wuzzuf / Bayt** — for KSA-resident applicants who prefer these platforms.
4. **Twitter/X** — "Founding X Engineer at Dealix" announcements from founder account.
5. **Y Combinator / Pallet** work-at-a-startup — for diaspora returning to KSA.
6. **University pipeline** — KFUPM, KAUST, KSU alumni networks (if you trust the degree vs the portfolio).
Avoid: generic job boards, recruiter agencies (too expensive at this stage).
## Compensation philosophy
- Cash: top 25th percentile of KSA market, not top 10th. We are not overpaying to close.
- Equity: real (>0.5% for each of hire #1 and #2), early-stage, 4yr / 1yr cliff.
- Accelerators on change-of-control.
- Visa sponsorship available for hire #2 if needed (KSA work permit track).
## Scoring rubric (internal)
| Dimension | Weight |
|-----------|--------|
| Evidence of taste / quality bar | 30% |
| Execution speed (shipping velocity) | 25% |
| Arabic + KSA context | 15% |
| Cultural alignment (writing-first, customer-first, honest) | 15% |
| Technical depth in the specific craft | 15% |
Reject: anyone who fails the "evidence of shipping" test, regardless of other strengths.
## Pipeline tracker
Create once outreach begins: `docs/internal/hiring_pipeline.md` (PRIVATE). Columns: name, role, source, stage, next step, owner, date.
