Roadmap: Milestones for Compitum's Bounded Evolution

Quick-Scan Infobox

Aspect Details
Target User Contributors planning involvement, educators anticipating classroom tools, developers tracking releases—familiarity with version control helpful.
Core Goal Outline phased progress: From pedagogy-focused stability to scalable applications, with clear entry points for participation.
Time to First Insight 5 minutes: Review current phase, scan metrics table.
Key Analogy A curriculum sequence: Each phase builds on the last, with built-in checks (metrics) to ensure readiness before advancing.
Evolution Note This document updates quarterly or with major PRs (label "roadmap-update"); v1.0 baseline as of November 2025.
Known Limitation Timelines flexible based on contributions; community input shapes priorities.

Core Workflow: Evolution of Bounded Intelligence

This diagram maps the phases as a progression: Each builds stability while expanding reach, with signals (metrics) guiding adjustments.

Caption: Journey through phases, with effort estimates per step. Alt text: Timeline diagram showing four phases with sub-tasks and durations, using light colors for readability.

This sequence ensures each phase verifies prior work: Pedagogy tools must show stable signals before hardening for scale.


Current Phase: v0.1.1 (Pedagogy Pack)

Status: Imminent release (target: December 2025).
Vision: Equip educators with self-correcting tools for AI-assisted learning, emphasizing observable signals over black-box outputs.

Key Deliverables:

  • Interactive REPL for live routing demos.
  • Student portfolio generator from certificates.
  • Constraint experiments module (e.g., vary shadow prices for "what-if" scenarios).

Success Metrics (Exit Criteria):

Metric Target Verification
Certificate Interpretability 90% of educators rate "clear" in pilot (n=20) Survey after 1-week trial.
Signal Stability Drift < -0.01 across 100 routes Batch tests in Examples.
Integration Ease <5 minutes to add to lesson plan Timed setup in cookbook recipes.

Community Callouts:

  • PRs for education recipes: Focus on Montessori parallels.
  • Pilot testers: Run demos with students; share feedback via issues labeled "pedagogy-pilot".

This phase closes the loop on early feedback: Tools now provide immediate, intrinsic checks, like a material that reveals mismatches without teacher intervention.


Next Phase: v0.1.2 (Enterprise Hardening)

Status: Planning (Q1 2026).
Vision: Strengthen for production: Robust APIs, load handling, and ethical safeguards via shadow prices.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Dockerized deployment with health checks.
  • Dynamic constraint updates (e.g., runtime shadow price alerts).
  • Multi-domain benchmarks (education, research, operations).

Success Metrics:

Metric Target Verification
Throughput 100 routes/min under load Locust tests in production recipes.
Ethical Compliance Shadow prices flag 95% of bias risks Audit on diverse prompt sets.
Uptime 99.5% in 24-hour stress test Monitoring setup from cookbook.

Community Engagement:

  • Contributions: Harden API endpoints; label PRs "enterprise".
  • Feedback: Simulate loads with provided scripts; report variances.

Here, hardening means extending bounds without brittleness—systems that adapt under pressure, much like a prepared environment that scales to group use.


Future Phases: Community-Driven Expansion

These outline long-term directions, refined by proposals. Submit via issues (template below).

v0.2.0: Multi-Domain Applications (Q2 2026)

Vision: Extend to non-educational uses (e.g., research routing, operational triage).
Highlights:

  • Cross-domain metric adaptation.
  • Plugin system for custom observers.
    Metrics: 80% accuracy lift on benchmarks like RouterBench.

v0.3.0+: Emergence and Formal Verification (Q3 2026+)

Vision: Prove emergent behaviors (e.g., multi-agent coordination) with theorem checkers.
Highlights:

  • Lyapunov proofs for pipelines.
  • Entropy bounds in large-scale runs.
    Metrics: Verified invariants in 10K routes; community-verified cases.

Development Philosophy: Bounded Progress
Phases release incrementally: Test one invariant (e.g., feasibility), advance only if met. This prevents overreach—each step verifiable, like checking tower stability before adding blocks.

Why Phased? Allows parallel contributions: Pedagogy in v0.1.1 doesn't block enterprise in v0.1.2.


Community Governance: Shaping the Roadmap

Decisions evolve through input: Propose changes, discuss, implement.

Process:

  1. Open issue with proposal (use template).
  2. Label "roadmap-discuss"; tag stakeholders.
  3. Vote in weekly sync (thumbs-up on summary).
  4. Merge if consensus (>50% approval).

Proposal Template:

Title: [e.g., Add Multi-Agent Support to v0.2.0]

Summary: [1-paragraph overview]

Rationale: [Why now? Link to philosophy/metrics]

Deliverables: [Bullet list]

Metrics: [Table of targets/verification]

Risks: [Potential issues and mitigations]

Milestone Tracking:

  • GitHub Projects: Board at [link].
  • Syncs: Bi-weekly calls (calendar invite via #community).

Gotchas and Risk Management:

Risk Mitigation
Scope Creep Strict metrics per phase; defer to future.
Dependency Delays Parallel tracks (e.g., pedagogy independent of API).
Community Burnout Optional involvement; credit in releases.

Adaptive planning: If metrics slip, extend phase—progress over deadlines.


The Compitum Ecosystem: Where We're Heading

From single routes to coordinated systems: Tools that learn locally, stabilize globally. Success means educators with reliable aids, developers with verifiable APIs, researchers with provable bounds.

Get Involved:

  • Educators: Test v0.1.1 demos; suggest lesson ties.
  • Developers: PR hardening features; review APIs.
  • Researchers: Propose verifications; benchmark domains.
  • Enterprise Users: Simulate loads; report gaps.

Resources:

  • Key Documents: Philosophy for vision; Cookbook for prototypes.
  • External: GitHub issues for proposals.

Roadmaps as Living Documents: This evolves with use—review, propose, contribute.
