Handbook
Product vision, positioning, design language, conventions, and planning for the Trovella product team.
The Handbook domain covers the non-technical foundations of Trovella -- product strategy, target users, competitive positioning, design language, and team conventions. Where the technical domains document how the system works, the Handbook documents what we are building and why.
Topics
Product Vision
The core product definition -- what Trovella is, who it serves, how it positions against alternatives, the competitive landscape, and the metrics that define success. This is the canonical reference for anyone asking "what are we building?"
Design Language
Brand identity, visual principles, design anti-patterns, and the reasoning behind Trovella's color, typography, layout, and interaction choices. This is the canonical reference for anyone asking "why does the product look and feel the way it does?"
