## What the System Produces

Starting from 5 MC tasks, the full pipeline generates:

| Stage | Tasks | Company | Time |
|-------|-------|---------|------|
| BUILD — scaffold | 1 | CodeCraft | ~15 min |
| BUILD — DB schema | 1 | CodeCraft | ~10 min |
| BUILD — landing page | 1 | Vizu | ~8 min |
| BUILD — auth API | 1 | CodeCraft | ~15 min |
| BUILD — meal UI | 1 | Vizu | ~10 min |
| REVIEW (all 5) | 5 | Proveo | ~5 min each |
| SECURITY (all 5) | 5 | Securion | ~5 min each |
| BUILD — security fixes | 2-3 | CodeCraft | ~10 min each |
| OPS — deploy setup | 1 | FlowForge | ~10 min |
| DOCS — legal + API docs | 2 | Lexicon | ~8 min each |

**Total:** ~20-25 tasks auto-generated from 5 initial tasks.

**Elapsed time:** ~3-4 hours (tasks run sequentially on each host, some parallel on ANVIL+FORGE).

**Human involvement:** Zero (unless safety patterns trigger).
