[2026-03-30 10:00 CDT] Project Foundry check: Phase 1 Deep Research sub-agent is not yet deployed. No actionable hardware cost or model selection data to present to Mark. Standing by for project initiation.

[2026-04-06 10:00 CDT] Project Foundry check: Phase 1 Blueprint COMPLETE. Model recommendation: Wan2.1 14B (primary) + HunyuanVideo 13B (premium/Ava LaCie). Cloud path: RunPod A40 @ $1.22/hr (~$0.12/clip). Local path: RTX 5090 32GB ~$2,200 (break-even at 200+ clips/month). Zero censorship filters confirmed on self-hosted weights. Phase 2A (RunPod pilot) awaiting Mark's go-ahead. No blocking action required from Mark at this time.
