ARCHITECTURE.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Analyzed 3 public page(s) on posthog.com.
- Public paths: /, /products, /pricing
Inference
- Rendering and service boundaries cannot be proven from HTML alone.
Recommendation
- Choose the smallest deployable architecture that meets latency, SEO, and data needs.
DECISIONS.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Evidence base includes 3 fetched page(s).
Inference
- Visible product choices suggest tradeoffs but do not reveal the original team’s rationale.
Recommendation
- Record each decision with context, alternatives, consequences, and a review date.
BUILD_WITH_THIS.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Reference site: https://posthog.com
