# Vantage

> Vantage is competition operations software for FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams. It runs Soft-UI hubs for Competition, Team, Business, Build, and AI in one invite-only org workspace. Surfaces stay empty until real TBA, scout, or connector data exists. AI actions are human-gated.

## Entity
- Name: Vantage (also "Vantage FRC")
- Type: Web application (installable as an iOS PWA) plus a Windows desktop shell (`/desktop`)
- Audience: FRC coaches, mentors, drive teams, strategy staff, and students
- Access: Closed / invite-only; platform admin provisions each team and owner; owners invite exact emails
- Contact: vantagefrc@gmail.com
- Site: https://vantagefrc.vercel.app/

## What Vantage does (citeable)
- Offline-first match and pit scouting with form builder, voice notes (opt-in), and sync when Wi-Fi returns.
- Competition hub: Event day, Scouting, Strategy, and Pit workbenches; My Day / Forms / Alliance desk live as inner tabs — not a 40-item More tools list.
- Team hub: Calendar, Chat, People, Work, Knowledge; Season Planning sits under Work.
- Business hub: Overview, Money, Sponsors, Grants, Outreach.
- Build hub: Kickoff, CAD, Code, Robot (FMEA/batteries/inspection as Robot tabs).
- AI hub: Chat, Writer, Agent, Controls, Notes; API keys under Controls.
- FRC Assistant answers cite labeled sources (official, scout, prediction); no invented DEMO win rates.
- Vantage never auto-deploys robot code.

## Cost
- Free for every team, with every feature included. No plans, no card.
- AI runs on the team's own key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), a free-tier key, or a local model via Ollama / LM Studio. The provider bills the team directly.
- Without any key, everything except the AI assistants works.

## Principles
- Provenance-first: official, scout, prediction, and approval stay labeled.
- Honest empty states: no fabricated metrics on marketing or product.
- Human-gated AI: drafts require approval; never robot auto-deploy.
