Building the Milwaukee tech inventory turns out to be less about code than discipline: deciding what doesn't belong, and why structured data is the real answer to AI hallucination.

Building Intelligence Week 7: the inventory schema stands up as a real Postgres database on Neon. Plus a Rabbit Hole on OpenClaw and the due-diligence questions an introduction isn't responsible for answering.

Building Intelligence Week 6 — six entities, five junction tables, the editorial decisions encoded in each one, and the ERD rendered as a published artifact. The schema is the foundation; pouring the foundation is the work before any code goes in. Under the Hood: the stack — Postgres in Docker, SQLAlchemy and Alembic, and the discipline of versioning the database alongside the code.

The questions every architecture decision has to answer before any code gets written. The nine candidate Tier 1 sources, the inventory methodology, and the human-in-the-loop discipline as design primitive.
