DS Strategy Stack

A second brain for running strategic projects in Claude Code. Persistent memory, structured workflows, and a live dashboard so nothing falls through the cracks.

The problem

Strategy projects generate an enormous amount of context -- call notes, competitor research, market sizing, scoring matrices, exec memos. Most of it lives in someone's head or scattered across docs nobody reads twice.

And if you're using AI to help, every new conversation starts from zero. You re-explain the landscape, re-share the research, re-establish the hypothesis. It's like briefing a new consultant every morning.

How it works

Memory layer

Structured files Claude reads and writes to automatically. Research, decisions, discovery insights, scoring -- all retained across sessions.

Context snapshots

Pre-computed summaries with three loading modes (Fast, Standard, Deep) so you only pay for the context you need.

Evidence grading

Every claim is tagged Confirmed, Secondary, Inference, or Assumption. The brain remembers how confident it is.

Kill conditions

Falsifiable thresholds that tell you when to stop or pivot. The system watches for signals that challenge your hypothesis.
