 # ProjectBrain
 
+> **ProjectBrain not only remembers your project — it documents *how it was built*. Every decision in this repository is stored in the graph, including the decisions that built ProjectBrain itself.**

 > *RAG gives your AI a library card. Cognee gives it a memory. ProjectBrain gives it a conscience.*
 
-**ProjectBrain** is a persistent memory layer for your codebase, built on [Cognee](https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee) and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It cures "Context Rot" by remembering your architectural decisions, fading out deprecated patterns, and enforcing rules across your team.

 | Criteria | How ProjectBrain delivers |
 |---|---|
-| **Impact** | Stops AI amnesia and architectural regression across the entire engineering team |
-| **Creativity** | First of its kind: organizational memory wired directly into AI tools via MCP + CI/CD enforcement |
-| **Technical Excellence** | Three-process architecture (SSE backend + MCP server + dashboard) over Cognee's graph-vector hybrid store |
-| **Best Use of Cognee** | Maps all 4 verbs (add→cognify, search, improve, forget) across the full 17-mode search spectrum; dual-dataset session memory |
-| **UX** | Developer never leaves IDE. MCP tools + real-time dashboard with zero-config SSE streaming |
-| **Presentation** | This README, a 3-minute demo video, and a writeup of the architecture and results |
+| **Potential Impact** | Kills "context rot" — the #1 productivity killer in AI-assisted development. Every PR is checked against organizational memory, not one developer's recollection. Meta-narrative demonstrates the tool documenting its own creation. |
+| **Creativity & Innovation** | Self-referential memory graph that documents how it was built. Timeline slider to watch knowledge evolve. The tool that improves its own recall through usage. |
+| **Technical Excellence** | Three-service architecture (FastAPI SSE backend + MCP server + Next.js dashboard) over Cognee Cloud. All 4 lifecycle verbs exposed from a single browser tab. Before/after recall precision metrics. |
+| **Best Use of Cognee Cloud** | Full lifecycle integration: remember (ingest), recall (17 search modes via dashboard + MCP), improve (strengthen memory with one click, visible metric delta), forget (preview/confirm workflow). Two-dataset session/permanent memory architecture. |
+| **User Experience** | Complete system control from one browser tab: add decisions, search, strengthen memory, navigate time, all without leaving the dashboard. Force-directed graph updates in real-time via SSE. |
+| **Presentation Quality** | This criteria-mapped README. 90-second demo video. Live Railway URL. Meta-narrative demo script. |

+1. **Meta framing** — "This is ProjectBrain. A self-improving project memory that documents its own creation." Graph shows 18 interconnected nodes.
+2. **Time slider** — Drag from week 8 to week 1. Watch the architecture evolve: MongoDB → Postgres migration, JWT → session auth, v1 → v2 API.
+3. **Search** — Type "Postgres" in GRAPH_COMPLETION mode. Results show the Postgres migration decision with full graph context.
+4. **Add decision** — Switch to the Add tab. Type "We use Redis for caching" with rationale. Submit. Graph updates in real-time via SSE.
+5. **Strengthen memory** — Click "Strengthen Memory". Watch the recall precision delta badge appear (e.g., "+5.2pp").
+6. **Metrics history** — Switch to the Metrics tab. See the snapshot history showing recall improvement over time.
+7. **Close** — "And the graph remembers building itself. Every PR, every decision, every superseded pattern is here. ProjectBrain doesn't just remember — it improves."
 
-1. Open `localhost:3000` — seed data visible as a force-directed graph
-2. Pick a search mode from the dropdown, type a query — results appear below the graph
-3. Use the MCP tools via Cursor/Claude Code to `remember_decision` — graph updates in real-time via SSE
-4. Add session context, then `promote_context` to permanent
-5. Metrics bar shows node/edge counts, latency, and memory composition
-6. CI/CD reviewer blocks PRs with deprecated patterns
