Notes:

Emails and responding to some investor related questions such as cash runway, spend budgets, pre and post valuation values, etc. More work with ChatGPT and doing overviews and breakdowns of adilas history from the developer's notebook for 2009.

Here is a small sample of some of the content we are generating (between ChatGPT and I):

Historical Context - Building Towards the Dream and Flying the Plane

May 2009 illustrates two complementary philosophies shaping early Adilas development. The Flex Grid began as a practical need to extend relationships involving purchase orders and invoices. Before implementation began, however, the concept expanded into a much larger 10 × 10 × 10 architectural vision.

This reflected a recurring approach the developers called "build towards the dream." The team was willing to explore, learn, and design for possibilities years into the future, frequently without knowing the full development costs or eventual complexity.

At the same time, Steve Berkenkotter emphasized a practical principle drawn from his experience as a pilot: "Fly the plane!" The immediate priority was to keep the business functioning, serve paying customers, and concentrate on functionality over appearance while continuing to build toward larger possibilities.

The May 21 presentation was an early internal Adilas demonstration, attended primarily by members of the Morning Star Automotive team. It occurred during a period of severe economic pressure that would eventually contribute to Morning Star's partial bankruptcy around 2010. Adilas, originally developed to serve that business, would become one of the surviving assets.

Together, these events capture the tension between ambitious software development, immediate business survival, and the uncertain future of the company.

Just for fun, here is the full chat link to that May 2009 chat session - Web link - https://chatgpt.com/share/6ada59fa-1ffc-83e8-b485-5ea46670fa20

More good stuff to come.
