Building the Platform Together
Craig & Jeff — Rough Draft — February 2026
Getting Started
1
Claude Code
Anthropic’s AI coding tool. Works in your terminal. You describe what you want, it writes the code.
2
GitHub
Where the code lives. Free account. This is how we share work and review each other’s modules.
3
Pair Session
Jeff walks Craig through the workflow. Clone the repo, create a branch, build something small, submit it.
“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.”
— Doc Brown
The rest of this deck is in the terminal. Don’t be worried — that’s where we build.
The Module Tree
Proposed modules based on our combined experience. Example starting point — we add, remove, and reassign as we go.

 build BD & marketing first — need pipeline before everything else
 jeff handles all tech: architecture, hosting, deploys, code review, AI
 craig brings the domain expertise — that's the real competitive moat
How We Work
eagle-platform — team-roles
$ eagle show roles

┌── CRAIG ····························· Domain Expert

│   ├── Learn Claude Code — AI writes code, you direct it
│   ├── Build domain modules — strategy, transactions, operations
│   ├── Define business rules — what matters, what triggers action
│   ├── Share BD & marketing with Jeff
│   └── Review Jeff's work for CRE accuracy

   "You don't need to learn programming.
    Claude Code writes the code. You guide it
    with 30+ years of deal expertise."

└── JEFF ······························ Domain + Tech

    ├── Own all technology — architecture, hosting, deploys
    ├── Build delivery modules — precon, schedules, construction
    ├── Review Craig's code for quality before it goes live
    ├── Share BD & marketing with Craig
    ├── Control what gets deployed to production
    └── Teach Craig the tools as we go

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────

"Anyone can write code with AI now. The competitive
 moat isn't the software — it's the domain expertise
 embedded in the software."

The code is the easy part.
Tech Stack
Eagle runs on the same stack Jeff already built and tested. No new tools to learn — just scale what works.

 Sugar is the proof of concept. Eagle is the same stack, bigger ambition.
 Jeff already knows this stack — zero ramp-up time.
 AWS: built for teams of 20. We're 2 guys with AI.
 AWS: $50-200/mo before a single user signs up.
 AWS: weeks of config before writing any business logic.

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 NOT BUILT YET — AND THAT'S OK

 User login, roles & permissions  — add when we have clients, not before
 Multi-tenant data isolation      — each client's data walled off from others
 Client tool integration          — what if Client A uses Procore, Client B uses Sage?

Right now: 2 users, 0 clients, nothing to protect.
These are real problems — but they're Phase 2 problems.
Build the modules first. Layer in security when there's something to secure.
Eagle Architecture
How it all connects. Same stack Jeff already built and tested on Sugar.
