We were not rushing, not scrambling, but slowly and steadily stirring the pieces that will shape the next phase of our project. After wrapping up the Peer Review SLDR, the team settled into a nice rhythm of refining, thinking, and planning the steps ahead.

We started with more updates to the UI. These changes were small but meaningful, the kind that make the system feel a little clearer and smoother every time you interact with it. It is always nice to see the interface become more natural to use because it reminds us that the project is growing in the right direction.

One of the main highlights of the week was delivering the Peer Review SLDR presentation. It felt good to finally put everything out there and walk the reviewers and other teams through our design decisions. The feedback we received was valuable and gave us a clear sense of what to improve as we move forward. It was one of those moments where you feel both relieved and motivated at the same time.

We also started laying the foundation for the minimal viable flow for submittal processing. This part of the project needed a lot of careful thought. During our meeting with the liaisons, we asked the questions that mattered and made sure we understood their expectations. Now we have concrete action items and a clearer direction for how the submittal flow should work.

For next week, we will keep working on defining the architecture for the submittal MVF. We will also continue improving the UI, including the ability to view past chats, and strengthen the backend with better reference tracking and increased reliability.

Everything is still on schedule, and it feels like the project is settling into a strong stride. With each week, the system becomes a little more refined and a little more real, and Team 18 is ready to keep it moving.
