Strategic Feature Plan · Q1–Q3 2026
Prepared for Jens & Kristine  ·  February 2026  ·  Mariusz Kreeft
✅

MVP is live.

Here's where we stand before moving to the next phase.

Done

Taskforce Migration

Freelancer profiles imported, AI-enhanced and onboarded to KIEDIS

Done

AI Search

Semantic + structured dual-query search with match explanations live

Done

Interview Flow

Client can invite, schedule and manage interviews with freelancers

Sprint 1

Profile Quality

PostHog tracking, AGB fix, date issues, import quality improvements

"The core loop works: post a brief → find a match → invite to interview.
Now we build the layer that turns matches into hires."
🎯

The opportunity gap

What's missing between a match and a completed hire.

Today
  • After interview invite — communication goes off-platform (email, WhatsApp)
  • No in-platform contracting — manual docs & signatures
  • Operators lack admin tooling — everything via workarounds
  • No structured reporting for clients
  • Growth is inbound only — no outbound acquisition engine
Post-MVP Vision
  • All deal communication inside KIEDIS — one thread per hire
  • End-to-end contracting: offer → sign → kickoff in platform
  • Full operator admin panel + client self-service control panel
  • Client reporting dashboards — funnel metrics, exportable
  • AI-powered LinkedIn outbound — autonomous talent sourcing

What this takes

Resource requirements and key dependencies.

Capacity
  • Backend (Edouard): Messaging, Contracting, Admin API — heaviest lift
  • Frontend (Jo): Admin UI, Onboarding, Messaging threads
  • AI/ML: Pricing intelligence, Fraud detection, LinkedIn agent — needs dedicated focus Q2
  • Design: Messaging UX, Contracting flow, Admin IA — design sprints needed
Key Dependencies & Risks
  • LinkedIn API/scraping compliance — needs legal review before build
  • E-signature provider selection (DocuSign / HelloSign) for Contracting Flow
  • Messaging System is a prerequisite for Contracting Flow
  • Admin Interface scope may expand — needs product spec before dev start
  • PostHog already set up — Reporting Dashboard can start quickly
🏁

Next steps

What needs to happen to kick off Post-MVP.

1
Confirm priority sequencing — Align on which Quick Wins ship in Sprint 2 vs. Sprint 3. Does PDF Export beat Messaging, or vice versa?
2
Spec Admin Interface — Mariusz + Jens: 1h session to define operator vs. client panel scope before Edouard starts.
3
LinkedIn legal check — Before building the Talent Seeker Agent: confirm ToS compliance approach with counsel.
4
E-signature provider decision — Needed to scope Contracting Flow. DocuSign vs. HelloSign vs. in-house. Decision needed by end of March.
5
Sprint 2 planning — Schedule planning session week of March 3rd. All Post-MVP epics are now tracked in GitHub Projects.
