Repository Structure:
- Move files from cluttered root directory into organized structure
- Create archive/ for archived data and scraper results
- Create bugulma/ for the complete application (frontend + backend)
- Create data/ for sample datasets and reference materials
- Create docs/ for comprehensive documentation structure
- Create scripts/ for utility scripts and API tools
Backend Implementation:
- Implement 3 missing backend endpoints identified in gap analysis:
* GET /api/v1/organizations/{id}/matching/direct - Direct symbiosis matches
* GET /api/v1/users/me/organizations - User organizations
* POST /api/v1/proposals/{id}/status - Update proposal status
- Add complete proposal domain model, repository, and service layers
- Create database migration for proposals table
- Fix CLI server command registration issue
API Documentation:
- Add comprehensive proposals.md API documentation
- Update README.md with Users and Proposals API sections
- Document all request/response formats, error codes, and business rules
Code Quality:
- Follow existing Go backend architecture patterns
- Add proper error handling and validation
- Match frontend expected response schemas
- Maintain clean separation of concerns (handler -> service -> repository)

Turash: Complete Platform Specification
Executive Summary
Turash is a B2B SaaS platform that digitizes industrial symbiosis by connecting businesses' waste streams with neighboring demand, unlocking €50B+ annual savings across European industrial ecosystems.
The Problem
European industries waste €500B annually on virgin resource procurement and waste disposal while emitting 1.2B tons of CO₂. Industrial symbiosis (IS) could reduce this by 20-50%, but fragmented analog processes and information asymmetry prevent adoption. Existing platforms are either too academic or too narrow to drive meaningful change.
The Solution
A resource-matching engine that:
- Digitizes Resource Flows: Captures heat, water, waste, and by-products with precision levels from rough estimates to verified measurements
- Optimizes Multi-Party Exchanges: Uses graph algorithms to find economically viable matches within spatial and temporal constraints
- Drives Adoption: Starts with "cheap-to-act" resources (waste pickup, shared services) and builds trust through tangible ROI
- Scales Network Effects: Creates local industrial ecosystems where businesses trade resources like a marketplace
Market Opportunity
- TAM: €500B European industrial resource flows
- SAM: €50B addressable through digital IS platforms
- SOM: €2B first-mover advantage in heat/waste matching (€500M by year 3)

Business Model
- Freemium: See + Match for free (network effects driver)
- Subscription: €50-500/facility/month based on engagement
- Transactions: 10-20% commission on facilitated exchanges
- Municipal: License fees for city dashboards (€50k-200k/year)

Competitive Advantage
- Data-First: Privacy tiers with device-signed validation
- Multi-Modal: Resources + services + products in one platform
- Local Focus: Geographic clustering drives higher match rates
- Utility Partnerships: Leverage existing data and relationships
- Real-World Data Handling: Proven capability with messy industrial data (CSVs, SCADA exports, municipal Excel, ERP feeds)
For competitive analysis, see 02_competitive_analysis.md
Exit Strategy
- Primary: Acquisition by industrial automation players (Siemens, Schneider, ABB) seeking circular economy capabilities
- Secondary: Smart-city platforms or utility software companies
- Positioning: Proven B2B SaaS with €2M+ ARR, EU market leadership in industrial symbiosis
Go-to-Market Strategy
- Primary Flywheel: SME-bottom-up - Build density through individual businesses → parks → cities buy established ecosystems
- Secondary: City-top-down - Municipal pilots seed platforms, then transition to business-paid model
- Policy-Resilient Entry Points: Multiple pathways to avoid single policy dependency
