# RENU + VCA Education Platform™

## Product Evolution Summary

Summary date: August 26, 2026  
Evolution path: ReNu-VCA Education Initiative -> RENU + VCA Education Platform™ 2.0 -> v0/Vercel SaaS demonstration -> audited acquisition source snapshot

## Executive Summary

The supplied evidence shows a progression from a broad strategic workforce-development initiative into a more defined education platform concept, then into a visual/product prototype system, and finally into an executable pre-funding demonstration source snapshot.

This record preserves two complementary but distinct histories:

1. Technical record: what executable software/source actually exists and was forensically verified.
2. Intellectual-property/product-development record: how the Education Platform concept, architecture, presentation system, commercialization materials, Kayla concept, and product vision were created and evolved into the software demonstration being acquired.

Conceptual or presentation material should not be characterized as implemented source code unless independently supported by the audited source snapshot.

## Stage 1 - ReNu-VCA Education Initiative

The June 9, 2026 Gamma Initiative deck frames the original education/workforce-development concept as a broad ecosystem for workforce development, AI literacy, entrepreneurship, small business development, reentry and economic mobility, and enterprise workforce training.

It presents the strategic problem, solution ecosystem, education framework, six mobility pathways, AI-powered education infrastructure, Kayla as an AI learning guide concept, workforce/economic mobility flow, partnership ecosystem, and phased deployment roadmap.

Evidence category: conceptual, strategic, product-design, education/workforce-development architecture, commercialization, and provenance material.

## Stage 2 - RENU + VCA Education Platform™ 2.0

The July 2, 2026 Gamma Platform 2.0 deck evolves the broader initiative into a more defined platform presentation. It introduces and organizes platform-facing product surfaces such as:

- Kayla / AI learning and career guide
- Platform workspace
- Learner dashboard preview
- Career Pathways
- AI Career Coach
- Career Passport
- Employer dashboard and employer portal
- Enterprise workforce solutions
- Community workforce transformation
- Analytics and progress
- Mobile learning experience
- Platform administration
- Deployment roadmap

The Platform 2.0 deck operates as product-design, sales, commercialization, and prototype-story evidence. Its prototype pages are not treated as production-source evidence unless corroborated by the audited source snapshot.

Evidence category: product-design, commercialization, prototype design, Kayla concept material, and provenance material.

## Stage 3 - v0/Vercel SaaS Demonstration

The source snapshot contains evidence that the Gamma-developed product concept was carried into a v0/Vercel-style executable web demonstration:

- `app/layout.tsx` metadata includes `generator: 'v0.app'`.
- `.gitignore` references v0 and `.vercel/` artifacts.
- `package.json` defines Next.js scripts for development, build, and start.
- `app/page.tsx` renders `ExecutiveDemo`.
- `components/renu/executive-demo.tsx` implements the learner demo flow.
- `components/renu/career-action-plan.tsx` implements the printable action-plan surface.

This stage contains implemented source code, but only for the pre-funding executive demonstration and its seeded learner journey. It does not contain production infrastructure.

Evidence category: executable demonstration source, not production platform backend.

## Stage 4 - Audited Acquisition Source Snapshot

The audited source snapshot is the ZIP artifact forensically inventoried as:

RENU + VCA Education Platform™ - Acquisition Source Snapshot v1.0

The forensic audit verified:

- Next.js `16.3.0`
- React `19.2.4`
- TypeScript `5.7.3`
- Tailwind CSS `4.3.3`
- 30 source files
- Complete file hash manifest
- Direct dependency register
- Third-party license-review register
- Material asset classification
- `NODE_ENV` as the only environment-variable reference
- No Kayla source functionality
- No production auth, database, persistence, server APIs, or production AI connections

Evidence category: executable-source evidence and acquisition technical manifest.

## What Was Envisioned, Demonstrated, And Implemented

| Area | Envisioned / designed in Gamma materials | Demonstrated visually or conceptually | Implemented in audited source snapshot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workforce-development ecosystem | Yes | Yes | Partially, as a seeded learner journey |
| Career pathways | Yes | Yes | Yes, as static/searched demo data and static match list |
| Career Resolver | Yes | Yes | Yes, as a deterministic seeded question flow with fixed results |
| Career Action Plan | Implied by pathway/product flow | Yes | Yes, as a printable client-side demo page |
| Career Passport | Yes | Yes | Limited to demo roadmap/content references; no credential issuance |
| Employer portal/dashboard | Yes | Yes | No production source implementation in audited ZIP |
| Admin/dashboard/analytics | Yes | Yes | No production source implementation in audited ZIP |
| Live labor-market data | Yes/conceptual | Yes/presentation claim | No live API implementation in audited ZIP |
| Kayla / AI guide | Yes | Yes | No Kayla/AI implementation in audited ZIP |
| Mobile/offline/multilingual | Yes | Yes | No production implementation in audited ZIP |
| Auth/database/persistence | Implied for production platform | Yes/presentation/admin context | Not present in audited ZIP |

## Production-Deferment Boundary

The evolution record supports a credible path from concept to demonstration, but it must not overstate technical completion.

Deferred or not-present production functionality remains documented in the source forensic audit and transfer summary. This includes authentication, persistence, APIs, real matching logic, live provider integrations, Kayla/AI runtime, credential verification, employer/admin backends, tests, privacy/security review, and license review.

## Preservation Standard

Future acquisition materials should preserve the technical and product-development records separately:

- Use the source forensic audit when stating what code exists.
- Use the Gamma provenance materials when stating how the product concept, architecture, commercialization package, Kayla concept, and visual/prototype system evolved.
- Use production-roadmap language for future functionality that is not present in the audited source snapshot.
