Validation Interview Tracking System — Gap Analysis

Date: 2026-02-18 ADR: ADR-211 Track: N.5 Location: submodules/gtm/coditect-gtm-strategy/09-validation-tracking/ Author: Claude (Opus 4.6)

Executive Summary

The Validation Interview Tracking System has progressed significantly beyond initial scaffolding. Phase 1 implementation is at ~55% overall completion (up from the stale GAP-ANALYSIS-TRACKER.md's 26% estimate, which was written before multiple enhancement rounds). Core data model, API server, 5 functional pages with dark mode, and a component library are operational. Key remaining gaps are in response/validation recording, missing API endpoints, Interviewers page, and ADR-specified libraries (Zustand, React Hook Form + Zod, xlsx, jsPDF).

Category	Completion	Notes
Architecture & Schema	95%	10 tables, 30+ types, full relations
API Server	55%	14 endpoints implemented, ~12 missing
UI Pages	65%	5 of 7 pages, all with dark mode + CRUD
Components	75%	10 reusable components built
Data Recording	15%	Only contacts + interviews; responses/validations/scores missing
Analytics & Export	30%	Read-only analytics page; no export
ADR Libraries	25%	Only Drizzle + better-sqlite3 + Tailwind; Zustand/RHF/Zod/xlsx/jsPDF absent
Branding & Polish	90%	Dark mode, CODITECT layout, style alignment complete

1. Data Model & Schema (95% Complete)

Implemented

Table	Status	Notes
projects	Done	JSON metadata, all status fields
contacts	Done	Full fields including member_count, ams_platform, referral
interviews	Done	Complete with recording_url, overall_score, follow-up
hypotheses	Done	Category, threshold, kill_criterion, validation counts
responses	Done	Question, section, answer, score, notes
hypothesis_validations	Done	Confirmed/denied/inconclusive, evidence, confidence
dimension_scores	Done	11 dimensions, score 1-5, interview-linked
actions	Done	Type enum, assignee, due_date, completed_at

interview_templates	Done	JSON sections, question_count

Gaps

• deleted_at column — ADR specifies soft delete but schema uses hard delete
• created_by column — ADR specifies audit trail field, not present on all tables
• Referral entity — ADR mentions dedicated referral tracking, currently only referral_from on contacts

---

2. TypeScript Types (90% Complete)

Implemented (types/index.ts — 370 lines)

• 10 entity interfaces (Project, Contact, Interview, Hypothesis, Response, etc.)
• 8 Create/Update partial types
• Display types: ContactWithInterviews, InterviewWithDetails, ProjectDashboard
• Analytics types: ProjectAnalytics, HypothesisResult, WeeklyProgress, ContactFunnel

Gaps

• Zod validation schemas — ADR specifies React Hook Form + Zod, no Zod schemas exist
• Form-specific types — currently using raw Create/Partial types in forms
• API response wrapper types — no typed error handling
• Pagination types — no cursor/offset pagination support

---

6. ADR-Specified Libraries (25% Used)

Library	ADR Status	Actual Status	Gap
SQLite (better-sqlite3)	Required	Installed + used	None
Drizzle ORM	Required	Installed + used	None
React 18	Required	Installed + used	None
Vite 6	Required	Installed + used	None

7. Architecture & Quality Gaps

Missing from ADR Phase 1 Scope

Gap	Severity	Description
CLI interface	Low	src/cli/index.ts not created; ADR lists "Optional CLI"
Zod validation	Medium	No runtime validation on API inputs or form data
Error boundaries	Medium	No React error boundary; unhandled errors crash UI
Loading states on mutations	Low	Only initial load has skeletons; saves have no feedback
Optimistic updates	Low	UI waits for server round-trip on every mutation
Toast notifications	Medium	No success/error feedback on save/delete operations
Keyboard navigation	Low	No keyboard shortcuts or focus management
Accessibility	Medium	No ARIA labels, focus trapping in modals incomplete
URL state sync	Low	Filters reset on navigation; not persisted in URL
Data validation	High	API accepts any JSON; no schema validation

Pre-existing TypeScript Errors (28 errors in backend files)

These exist in schema.ts, analytics.ts, contacts.ts, interviews.ts, and CSVImportModal.tsx. They are related to Drizzle ORM type inference and do not affect runtime behavior but should be resolved.

9. Priority Recommendations

P0 — Core Features (must have for usable system)

1. Response recording UI + API — The primary purpose of the system
2. Hypothesis validation UI + API — Drives go/no-go decisions
3. Dimension score entry UI + API — Enables analytics
4. Toast notifications — Users need save/error feedback
5. API input validation — Prevent bad data

P1 — Important Enhancements

6. Interviewers page — ADR requires multi-interviewer support
7. Action item management — Track follow-ups from interviews
8. Sortable/paginated DataTable — Reusable across all list pages
9. Install Zustand + React Hook Form + Zod — ADR-specified stack
10. Delete interview endpoint — UI exists but no backend

P2 — Polish & Scale

11. Export (xlsx + jsPDF) — Offline report generation
12. Outreach tracking — Pre-interview pipeline management
13. Interview template editor — Customize question sets
14. Calendar view — Visual scheduling
15. Recharts integration — Better analytics visualizations
16. Comprehensive seed data — All 10 tables populated for testing

10. Comparison with Stale GAP-ANALYSIS-TRACKER.md

The existing GAP-ANALYSIS-TRACKER.md in the project directory was written before multiple enhancement rounds. It shows 26% completion (44/170 items) but significantly understates current state:

Area	Stale Tracker	Actual State
Dashboard dark mode	[ ] missing	Done — full dark:* classes
Contacts CRUD	[ ] buttons dead	Done — full create/edit/delete/import
Interviews CRUD	[ ] buttons dead	Done — InterviewFormModal + ContactSearchSelect
InterviewFormModal	[ ] doesn't exist	Done — 220 lines, 3 fieldsets
All dark mode items	[ ] across pages	Done — every page has dark mode
CODITECT branding	[ ]	Done — Layout.tsx with header/footer
Contact name in interview list	[ ]	Done — contactMap lookup

Recommendation: The stale tracker should be superseded by this document.
