How to read this​

  • Infrastructure (blue): your lab + VM templates + Docker is the foundation for repeatable deployments.
  • Products (green): CRM/PM, RFID ETS, and LoRaWAN edge stack are the “business systems”.
  • Knowledge (purple): Docusaurus KB + prompts + dashboards turn scattered notes into reusable assets.
  • Workflow/Automation (orange): OpenClaw + automation glue make the whole thing reproducible.

CTO Questions this diagram answers​

  1. Where does standardization live? → Prompts + gate-based firmware methodology + KB runbooks.
  2. Where is operational leverage? → Proxmox templates + Docker stacks + automation.
  3. Where is business truth? → CRM/PM becomes system-of-record for customers/projects/deployments.
  4. What connects devices to ops? → RFID station → backend → admin UI; gateways → ChirpStack.

Next refinement (tell me what you want)​

Pick one direction and I’ll update the diagram accordingly:

  • (A) Add data entities (Station, Bundle, Event, Gateway, Device, Customer, Deployment)
  • (B) Add network boundaries (Factory LAN, Farm LAN, Cloud/VPS, Home Lab)
  • (C) Add security/auth (tokens, certs, VPN, IAM)
  • (D) Split CRM into modules (Inventory, Orders, Support, Provisioning)
