Supply Domain Deep-Dive Analysis

TVL Platform - Critical Foundation Review

Date: 2025-10-24 Analyst: Claude Code Domain Agent Priority: CRITICAL - Supply is the foundational inventory domain


Executive Summary

Critical Finding: Supply Domain Definition is FRAGMENTED

The Supply domain (Spaces & Units) is mentioned in domain tables across both Platform Specification documents but has NO dedicated section in either primary PRD document:

  • /mnt/c/GitHub/claude-test/prd/TVL-Platform-Specification-2025-10-21.md - NO Supply section
  • /mnt/c/GitHub/claude-test/prd/TVL Data and Domain Model Specification 2025-10-21 (1).md - NO Supply section

However, comprehensive Supply domain specification EXISTS in:

  • /mnt/c/GitHub/claude-test/docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md - COMPLETE 1,714-line specification

Architectural Findings

The Supply domain does exist and is well-defined in the /docs/ directory, but is not integrated into the primary PRD documents. This creates a documentation consistency gap.

  • Space and Unit are referenced indirectly in other domain sections
  • Content & Metadata section (lines 1500-1729) discusses media and descriptions for Spaces/Units
  • UnitSnapshot entity defined (line 1604) for version history
  • ChannelListing (line 1814) references space_id and unit_id

1.2 Complete Supply Specification Found

Location: /mnt/c/GitHub/claude-test/docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md

Completeness: ✅ COMPREHENSIVE - 1,714 lines

Contents:

  • ✅ Full entity definitions (Property, Unit, Amenity, PropertyMedia)
  • ✅ Complete API endpoints (18 endpoints documented)
  • ✅ Database schemas with SQL DDL
  • ✅ State diagrams and workflows
  • ✅ Integration points with other domains
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements

2.3 AccountSpaceRole Entity (Delegation)

Status: ⚠️ PARTIALLY DEFINED

References Found:

  • TVL Platform Spec, Line 36: Listed in domain table as key entity: "Space, Unit, AccountSpaceRole"
  • Data Model Spec, Line 104: Listed in domain table

Definition Status:NOT FOUND in any document

Expected Purpose (inferred from domain description):

  • Links Accounts to Spaces for delegation workflows
  • Enables TVL Ops to manage owner villas
  • Supports multi-org collaboration

Proposed Definition (based on Delegation domain patterns):

CREATE TABLE account_space_roles (
-- Identity
id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),

-- Relationships
org_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES organizations(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
account_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES accounts(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,

scope VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL CHECK (scope IN (
'read', 'write', 'manage', 'full'
)),

-- Lifecycle
granted_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),

revoked_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
revoked_by UUID REFERENCES users(id),

-- Constraints
UNIQUE (account_id, space_id, role_type),
CHECK (revoked_at IS NULL OR revoked_at > granted_at)
);

CREATE INDEX idx_account_space_roles_account ON account_space_roles(account_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_account_space_roles_space ON account_space_roles(space_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_account_space_roles_org ON account_space_roles(org_id);

Business Rules (proposed):

  1. One role type per Account-Space pair
  2. Revocation does not delete record (audit trail)
  3. Org-level admins can grant roles
  4. Role inheritance from Account membership

5. Industry Standards Comparison

5.1 Research Summary

Sources:

  • Guesty PMS (guesty.com)
  • Hostaway API (api.hostaway.com/documentation)
  • Lodgify documentation (inferred from market position)

5.2 Guesty Data Model

Key Features:

  • ✅ Multi-unit property management
  • ✅ Unified calendar system across all listings
  • ✅ Channel distribution to Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.
  • ✅ Real-time availability synchronization
  • ✅ Property types: vacation rentals, serviced apartments, B&Bs, aparthotels

Property Structure:

  • Properties contain multiple "listings" (equivalent to Units)
  • Listings can be entire property or individual rooms
  • Calendar operates at listing level (not property level)

Comparison to TVL:

  • ✅ TVL matches: Property → Unit hierarchy
  • ✅ TVL matches: Multi-unit support
  • ✅ TVL matches: Calendar at unit level
  • ⚠️ TVL difference: Guesty emphasizes "listing" terminology over "unit"

5.3 Hostaway Data Model

API Structure (from api.hostaway.com):

Listing Object Fields:

  • id, propertyTypeId, name
  • externalListingName, internalListingName
  • description, houseRules, keyPickup
  • specialInstruction, doorSecurityCode
  • country, countryCode, state, city, street, address
  • publicAddress, zipcode
  • price, starRating, averageReviewRating
  • weeklyDiscount, monthlyDiscount
  • propertyRentTax, guestPerPersonPerNightTax, guestStayTax, guestNightlyTax
  • guestBathroomsNumber

Comparison to TVL:

  • ✅ TVL matches: Name, description, address structure
  • ✅ TVL matches: House rules, special instructions (in settings JSONB)
  • ✅ TVL more flexible: JSONB settings vs. flat fields
  • ⚠️ TVL difference: Separate Property and Unit vs. Hostaway's single Listing
  • ⚠️ TVL difference: Pricing stored separately (RatePlan) vs. embedded in listing

TVL Advantage: Cleaner separation of concerns (Property as container, Unit as bookable)

7. Inconsistencies & Issues Found

7.1 Documentation Inconsistencies

Issue 1: Supply Domain Section Missing from PRDs

Severity: 🔴 HIGH

Description:

  • Both primary PRD documents list "Supply (Spaces & Units)" in domain tables
  • Table of Contents references "Supply & Assets" section
  • No actual Supply domain section exists in either PRD
  • Complete specification exists in /docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md

Impact:

  • Confusion for stakeholders reading PRDs
  • Inconsistency between documents and implementation
  • Risk of missing domain in planning

Recommendation:

  • Keep /docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md as authoritative source
  • Add Supply domain section to both PRD documents OR
  • Update PRD documents to reference /docs/ specifications

Issue 2: AccountSpaceRole Entity Not Defined

Severity: 🟡 MEDIUM

Description:

  • Listed in domain tables as key entity: "Space, Unit, AccountSpaceRole"
  • No definition found in any document
  • No schema, no relationships, no business rules

Impact:

  • Delegation workflows unclear
  • TVL Ops → Owner space management undefined
  • Multi-org collaboration patterns incomplete

Recommendation:

  • Define AccountSpaceRole entity (see proposed definition in Section 2.3)
  • Add to Delegation domain specification
  • Document relationships with Space and Account

Issue 3: Property vs Space Terminology Inconsistency

Severity: 🟢 LOW

Description:

  • PRD documents use "Space" terminology
  • /docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md uses "Property" terminology
  • Both refer to the same entity

Impact:

  • Minor confusion in cross-referencing documents
  • Database schema uses properties table name

Recommendation:

  • Standardize on "Property" (matches industry standards: Guesty, Hostaway)
  • Update PRD references from "Space" to "Property" OR
  • Use "Space (Property)" to clarify equivalence

7.2 Schema Inconsistencies

Issue 4: Space vs Property Table Naming

Severity: 🟢 LOW

Description:

  • Domain described as "Supply (Spaces & Units)"
  • Actual table named properties (not spaces)
  • ChannelListing references space_id (not property_id)

Current State:

  • /docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md: Uses properties table
  • Data Model Spec references: Uses space_id in relationships

Impact:

  • Schema inconsistency across documents
  • Foreign key naming mismatch

Recommendation:

  • Standardize on property_id in all foreign keys
  • Update ChannelListing schema to use property_id
  • Or rename properties table to spaces (less preferred)

7.3 Cross-Domain Reference Issues

Issue 5: Calendar Scoping Inconsistency

Severity: 🟢 LOW

Description:

  • Availability domain states: "Single authoritative calendar per Space (villa MVP); Unit-level later"
  • Supply domain defines: One calendar per Unit

Current State:

  • Early docs: Space-level calendars
  • Current implementation: Unit-level calendars

Impact:

  • Confusion about calendar ownership
  • MVP vs future-state ambiguity

Recommendation:

  • Clarify: MVP uses Unit-level calendars (one calendar per unit)
  • Update Availability domain description
  • Remove "Unit-level later" language

8. Recommendations & Action Items

8.1 High Priority (Week 1)

Recommendation 1: Integrate Supply Domain into PRDs

Action: Add Supply domain section to both PRD documents

Options:

  1. Option A (Preferred): Copy content from /docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md into PRDs
  2. Option B: Add reference section pointing to /docs/ specification
  3. Option C: Consolidate all domain specs into /docs/ and update PRDs to reference

Rationale:

  • PRDs should be complete and self-contained
  • Stakeholders expect all domains documented in primary specifications
  • Reduces confusion and improves consistency

Recommendation 2: Define AccountSpaceRole Entity

Action: Create complete specification for AccountSpaceRole

Required Elements:

  • Entity schema (see proposed definition in Section 2.3)
  • Relationships with Account, Property, Organization
  • Business rules for delegation
  • API endpoints (grant role, revoke role, list roles)
  • Integration with Authorization domain

Rationale:

  • Listed as key entity but undefined
  • Critical for delegation workflows
  • Required for TVL Ops use case

8.2 Medium Priority (Week 2-3)

Recommendation 3: Standardize Property vs Space Terminology

Action: Choose one term and apply consistently

Recommendation: Use "Property" across all documents

Changes Required:

  • Update PRD domain tables: "Supply (Properties & Units)"
  • Update foreign keys: space_idproperty_id
  • Update event names: space.createdproperty.created

Rationale:

  • "Property" aligns with industry standards (Guesty, Hostaway)
  • Table already named properties
  • More intuitive for stakeholders

Recommendation 4: Add Relationship Diagrams to PRDs

Action: Include entity-relationship diagrams in Supply domain sections

Content:

  • Property ↔ Unit relationships
  • Property ↔ Account delegation
  • Integration points with other domains

Rationale:

  • Visual clarity for developers and stakeholders
  • Reduces ambiguity in relationships
  • Aids in implementation planning

8.3 Low Priority (Week 4+)

Recommendation 5: Document Migration Path

Action: Create migration guide from MVP to future state

Content:

  • Current state: Unit-level calendars, Property → Unit hierarchy
  • Future enhancements: Multi-unit properties, complex delegation
  • Backward compatibility guarantees

Rationale:

  • Clarifies evolution strategy
  • Reduces confusion about MVP vs future
  • Guides implementation priorities

9. Conclusion

9.1 Critical Findings Summary

  1. Supply domain IS properly defined in /docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md
  2. Supply domain section is MISSING from primary PRD documents
  3. ⚠️ AccountSpaceRole entity is UNDEFINED despite being listed as key entity
  4. Property and Unit entities are COMPREHENSIVE with complete schemas
  5. TVL matches or exceeds industry standards (Guesty, Hostaway)
  6. ⚠️ Terminology inconsistency between "Space" and "Property"

9.2 Risk Assessment

9.3 Overall Assessment

Status:SUPPLY DOMAIN IS WELL-DEFINED

Confidence: HIGH

The Supply domain has a comprehensive, production-ready specification in /docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md. The apparent "missing section" in PRDs is a documentation organization issue, not a fundamental gap in domain design.

Key Strengths:

  • Complete entity definitions with SQL schemas
  • Well-defined business rules and constraints
  • Comprehensive API endpoint documentation
  • Strong integration points with other domains
  • Matches or exceeds industry standards

Key Gaps:

  • AccountSpaceRole entity needs definition
  • PRD documents need Supply domain section
  • Terminology standardization required

Recommendation: Proceed with implementation using /docs/02-domains/supply/spec.md as authoritative source. Address high-priority recommendations within 1 week.
