Grind loop. The home feed is the daily product — reviews from guides you follow, your own XP and guide rank, and active quests. This is what makes the user open the app on a Tuesday. The taste graph builds here, one review at a time.

Grind loop. The review composer keeps signal structured — vibe tags, a strength, an honest caveat. Free text is capped so reviews stay scannable and the taste-graph extraction stays clean. The honest-caveat field earns bonus XP because rare, candid signal is the most valuable.

Grind loop. The guide profile is the social object — level, rank, taste graph, followers, earnings. The Active Guide cap (8 per city × category) makes the leaderboard scarce and worth competing for. The taste graph here is literally what deploys as a mandate on trips.

Bridge. Travel mode is the entry to the boss tier. A detected trip pulls the user's taste graph forward as a mandate; they confirm three logistical fields and deploy. Users without their own graph can borrow a Local Guide's — the lowest-friction onramp into the grind.

Boss loop. The deal board shows live hotel listings — each a distressed-inventory window the hotel has opened. Mara evaluates every listing against the taste-graph-derived mandate and surfaces only what qualifies.

Boss loop. Mandate config is confirmation, not authoring. The taste graph is already built from months of local reviews; the user confirms three trip fields (city, dates, ceiling) and reviews the inferred signals. Deploy commits the €2 credit. The 10-decision form is gone — the user paid that cost one review at a time.

Boss loop. The bid is live. The hotel is not yet revealed. Bids are sealed — the user sees the room is busy (4 agents, 3 active bids) but never the bid amounts or identities. Drama lives in the reveal, not in a live spinner.

Boss loop. The reveal is a transparent receipt. Hotel named. Taste signals verified. Floor visible only here — the shareable proof card hides it so the hotel's pricing strategy is not leaked through every winning customer.

Boss loop. Rejection capture feeds both loops. A fixed 6-category taxonomy keeps the signal structured — free text never auto-promotes. The reaction strengthens an existing taste-graph signal, so a trip rejection sharpens the user's mandate everywhere, not just for this city.

Boss loop. The outcome log is the ambient daily reassurance on the travel side. Every evaluation shown with a reason: wins, passes (with the constraint that failed), watches. Engagement here is confirmation the system is working, not stimulation.

Boss loop. The mandate surface shows the taste graph in deployment form — the derived signals, their confidence weights, and the trip overlay. The user edits a signal only if they want to override it for this trip; the default is to trust what the grind built.

Bridge. The taste graph view is the user's accumulated asset — every signal with provenance back to the reviews that produced it. This keeps the mandate legible: the user can always see why Mara filters the way she does. Decay keeps it current.

Boss loop. The proof card is shareable social proof — specific enough to be credible, structured enough to explain the product cold. Crucially it credits the Local Guide whose taste graph powered the bid, so sharing makes both the traveller and their guide look smart.

Bridge. The guide-share link is the primary growth surface. The shared object is a guide's taste graph plus their outcomes. Borrowing it on a trip surfaces the guide's profile and triggers a follow — the onramp from "use a guide" to "be a guide".
