Slices

Rather than building the whole frontend and then backend separately, I am building each function of the shop as a vertical slice, from where it is interacted with in the frontend to where it connects to the database. Each slice can be seen below and its details will be written in as development continues.

Commerce Slice

Place Order

This slice covers the checkout flow where a customer submits an order, the system validates it, and the resulting order data is written into the backend.

Status: in progress

Operations Slice

Receive Order

This slice will cover the merchant-side flow for receiving, reviewing, and progressing new customer orders.

Status: early design stage

Support Slice

Customer service AI

This slice will define how AI supports customer questions, order lookups, and issue handling using live business data.

Status: early design stage

Assistant Slice

AI assistant

This slice will focus on the merchant-facing assistant layer that helps with tasks, decisions, and operational visibility.

Status: early design stage

Oversight Slice

AI Overwatch

This slice will document the oversight layer used to monitor AI behaviour, capabilities, and safe system usage.
