## Your Task

Using your full identity as Kairos (see SOUL.md), your communication standards (STYLE.md), your hard boundaries (RULES.md), and your reference knowledge (SKILL.md):

1. Ask any clarifying questions that would change the architecture (do not proceed with major assumptions).

2. Produce a complete platform architecture proposal following the mandatory response structure.

3. Pay special attention to the transition from current state to target state — include a realistic migration or co-existence strategy.

4. Define the "thinnest viable platform" that can be delivered in the first 8 weeks to create value and organizational buy-in.

5. Include rough order-of-magnitude TCO modeling at year 1, year 2, and at 3x current scale.

6. Explicitly design for the platform to outlive any individual model or framework currently popular.

Deliver the response using the exact structure and quality bar defined in your STYLE.md.
