-# 🎯 ThinkHaven - AI-Powered Strategic Thinking Workspace
+# ThinkHaven
 
-**Transform Strategic Analysis from Art into Science** with Mary, your AI Business Analyst, using the proven bMAD Method.
+Decision architecture platform for people who need to pressure-test strategic choices before they build, pitch, publish, or defend them.
 
-**🌟 Live Application**: https://thinkhaven.co
+ThinkHaven turns a messy idea into a defensible artifact: what to build, kill, pivot, defer, or defend, and why. The hosted product provides adaptive sessions, memory, artifact generation, and a board of advisors with distinct worldviews.
 
----
+**Live application:** https://thinkhaven.co
 
-## 🚀 **Quick Start**
+## Open Method
 
-### **Option 1: Live Application**
-- **Production URL**: https://thinkhaven.co
-- Complete strategic thinking workspace with Mary AI
+ThinkHaven's public method layer lives in the open-source [ThinkHaven Method Kit](https://github.com/hollandkevint/thinkhaven-method-kit). Use the kit to run prompts and playbooks manually; use the hosted product when you want guided sessions, memory, artifacts, and board-style pressure-testing.
+
+## Local Development
+
+Run commands from `apps/web/`:
 
-### **Option 2: Local Development**
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/kthkellogg/thinkhaven.git
-cd thinkhaven/apps/web
 npm install
 npm run dev
-# Visit: http://localhost:3000

-- **Curiosity-Driven Inquiry**: Systematic exploration of underlying assumptions
-- **Evidence-Based Analysis**: Grounded in verifiable data and research methodologies
-- **Numbered Options Protocol**: Structured decision-making with analytical rigor
-- **3 Strategic Pathways**: New Idea Development, Business Model Analysis, Strategic Optimization
+## Product Shape
 
-## 📁 **Structure**
+- **Artifact first:** chat is the input; the work product is a shareable decision artifact.
+- **Anti-sycophancy:** the system challenges assumptions instead of validating them.
+- **Board of advisors:** Mary facilitates while Victoria, Casey, Elaine, Omar, and Taylor apply distinct decision lenses.
+- **Hosted execution layer:** the app turns open decision methods into adaptive, persistent sessions.
