Enforcing Product Process for Greg's RLCAI Requirements

Situation

Enforcing the correct process by directing all of Greg's RLCAI requirements to the Product team rather than allowing Greg to bypass Product and give direct requirements to Engineering. Brian Dawson raised the concern; Peter is supporting and enforcing.

Reasoning

Continuation of Mar 3 decision directing engineering priorities through Product. Engineering is now a predictable engine — that predictability depends on a single prioritization funnel through Product. Unvetted CEO requirements create confusion (is it a top priority or thinking out loud?). Protecting both Engineering from context-switching and Product from being bypassed on their core function.

Additional Context

Brian Dawson raised the process breakdown concern. Peter is supporting him and enforcing. Engineering just achieved predictability — process discipline matters most now. RLCAI vision is intentionally undefined — will be shaped by market adoption, not CEO feature requests.

Observed Evidence

Fathom meeting summary: 'A process breakdown exists: Greg is bypassing Product to give direct, unvetted RLCAI requirements to Engineering, creating confusion.' Resolution: 'Peter is enforcing the correct process by directing all of Greg's requests to the Product team.' Next steps include Brian communicating to Greg that all RLCAI requirements must go through Product.
