Can expertise scale safely?
Turn fragmented track evidence into useful coaching while preserving the coach's judgement, voice and customer relationship.
Portfolio · AI-enabled service venture
HiveMind is the venture; Hive Coach is its product. It turns track-day evidence into a coach-owned debrief: AI accelerates the analysis, while the coach retains judgement, voice and final sign-off.

Executive view
HiveMind is deliberately outside MiddleLeap's regulated core. Its relevance is the operating principle: AI may increase the reach and consistency of an expert service without becoming the accountable expert.
Turn fragmented track evidence into useful coaching while preserving the coach's judgement, voice and customer relationship.
The product can assemble evidence, draft a grounded debrief and return it to a coach for review.
AI cannot issue final advice; human edit and sign-off remain the customer-facing boundary.
The experiment informs service propositions where AI assists perception and synthesis but cannot own the decision.
Test credentials, noisy trackside inputs, repeat usage and coach validation before expanding the service.
Why it exists
Karting produces rich evidence—timing sheets, video, photographs, voice notes and weather—but turning it into useful, personal feedback is slow. Hive Coach makes that synthesis repeatable without replacing the coach.
Track-day observations arrive in different formats and often disappear before they become actionable learning.
Capture once, assemble the session record, draft a grounded debrief and return it to the coach for judgement.
AI supports perception and synthesis; it cannot send the final advice or claim facts outside the evidence.
Product architecture
The runtime is deliberately staged. Vision, transcription and synthesis create structured evidence before final prose is produced. Grounding and confidentiality checks sit before the coach review and PDF delivery boundary.
Loom-informed delivery
HiveMind applies the Loom's evidence, specification and human-authority principles to venture building. This is disciplined use of the method's ideas—not a claim of full regulated-harness adoption.
Coach workflow, track-day evidence and a gold-standard debrief
Human-led product principles, consent boundaries and acceptance criteria
Stitch-assisted screens and a capture-to-debrief architecture
Claude Code loops with server-side AI and repository tripwires
Gold-set scoring, RLS checks and mandatory coach sign-off
AI systems
Claude Code, skills, hooks, reviewers and Stitch MCP shape how the product is built. Claude and Whisper power the server-side customer workflow. The repository contains no Codex build provenance in the reviewed snapshot.
The repository documents autonomous /loop delivery with explicit acceptance checks and stop conditions.
Claude Sonnet handles vision and synthesis, Opus drafts final prose, and OpenAI Whisper transcribes voice notes.
eval runs the quality harness; new-migration creates database changes with the project conventions.
Pre-write checks block client-side AI and protected-file changes; post-edit checks run targeted validation.
Grounding and RLS security are reviewed as separate concerns rather than folded into generation.
Google Stitch is documented as build-time design tooling. It is not part of the customer-facing runtime.
Technology
Quality system
Types, lint, unit tests and the offline evaluation harness run together.
Repository checks prevent browser-side model calls and committed secrets; gitleaks adds a separate scan.
Supabase migrations and pgTAP policies are exercised in a dedicated database workflow.
A gold set scores whether the generated debrief stays faithful, useful and appropriately confidential.
Playwright covers user journeys, AI-tagged scenarios and row-level security boundaries.
The product requires a coach edit and sign-off before a debrief becomes customer-facing advice.

Roadmap
Phase 0 is a working application, but production confidence still depends on real coach inputs, noisy trackside trials, live delivery credentials and wider pilot evidence. Parent consent and coach authority remain human responsibilities, not model decisions.

The repository is not publicly accessible. This register names the material reviewed; detailed source access can be considered during appropriate diligence.
