# Project Status: Beaver Leadership Demo

Date: 2026-06-12
Project owner: Product and Engineering
Target review: Next week

## Overall Status

Status: Yellow

The core Beaver demonstration is feasible, but the team needs to tighten the story and prepare backup paths. The product has enough implemented surfaces to explain the Agent workspace concept: files, chat, tasks, evidence, acceptance, skills, cron, status, and logs.

## Workstreams

### 1. Product Story

- Status: Yellow
- Owner: Product
- Progress: Drafted 6 management scenarios.
- Risk: If the story is too technical, leadership may see Beaver as another chatbot or internal tool experiment.
- Next action: Rehearse the opening and closing talk tracks.

### 2. Demo Environment

- Status: Yellow
- Owner: Engineering
- Progress: Local instance is available. Provider configuration is being checked.
- Risk: Live model response can be slow or verbose.
- Next action: Run the main scenarios once and keep completed tasks available.

### 3. Sample Data

- Status: Green
- Owner: Product
- Progress: Sales, customer feedback, project risk, support, and operations files prepared.
- Risk: Sample data must look realistic without exposing actual company data.
- Next action: Upload all files to Beaver before the demo.

### 4. Skills Story

- Status: Yellow
- Owner: Engineering
- Progress: Skills page and lifecycle exist. Replay evaluation and review flow can be explained.
- Risk: Full candidate-to-publish flow may take too long live.
- Next action: Use page walkthrough and a short reuse example.

### 5. Scheduled Work

- Status: Yellow
- Owner: Engineering
- Progress: Cron page can show scheduled task configuration.
- Risk: A live scheduled run may not complete within the meeting.
- Next action: Use manual trigger or show configuration and run records.

### 6. Governance

- Status: Green
- Owner: Operations
- Progress: Status and logs can support the governance message.
- Risk: Leadership may ask about security policy details that are not finalized.
- Next action: Keep the message clear: private deployment, task evidence, human acceptance, and controlled tool rollout.

## Key Risks

| Risk | Impact | Probability | Owner | Mitigation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Demo becomes feature tour | High | Medium | Product | Use one storyline and 6 scenarios |
| Live output quality varies | Medium | Medium | Engineering | Prepare previous completed tasks |
| Skill flow takes too long | Medium | High | Engineering | Explain lifecycle and show page state |
| Connector dependency fails | Medium | Medium | Engineering | Keep connector optional |
| ROI question lacks answer | High | Medium | Product | Propose 2-3 measurable internal pilots |

## Management Decisions Requested

1. Choose the first internal pilot workflow.
2. Decide whether next sprint should prioritize demo polish, pilot hardening, or connector reliability.
3. Confirm what governance controls are required before wider internal rollout.
