====== Hivemind Feature ======

Hivemind is the space where teams create, discuss, and approve recommendation ideas before they become live.

===== What Hivemind Does =====


  * Gives teams a clear way to submit new recommendation ideas.
  * Keeps all discussion for each idea in one place.
  * Sends ideas to admin review before release.
  * Prevents unfinished or rejected ideas from going live.
  * Keeps a visible history of feedback and decisions.

===== Who Uses It =====

  * Organization and group users can submit ideas.
  * Admin reviewers approve, reject, or request changes.
  * Proposal participants can follow progress and discuss updates.

===== How It Works =====

  - A user creates a proposal with:
    - strategy
    - implementation
    - micro-script
    - avoid micro-script
    - target audiences
  - The proposal appears in the Hivemind queue.
  - Participants discuss and refine the proposal.
  - Admin review sets one of three outcomes:
    - **Approved**: proposal is released.
    - **Needs Revision**: proposal returns for updates.
    - **Rejected**: proposal is closed.

===== Proposal Statuses =====


  * **Draft**: created and still being prepared.
  * **Needs Revision**: feedback was given and updates are required.
  * **Approved**: accepted and released.
  * **Rejected**: closed and no longer active.

===== User Experience =====

  * Proposal lists are grouped by status so teams can track progress quickly.
  * Proposal pages show full content and discussion in one view.
  * Users can send messages inside each proposal thread.
  * Review notes are visible in the same thread for context.
  * Email notifications keep participants informed of updates.

===== Current Boundaries =====

  * Rejected proposals are locked for new discussion.
  * Approved and rejected proposals are not editable.
  * Message editing controls are limited in the current UI.

===== Outcome =====

Hivemind provides a structured, collaborative approval flow that improves quality control, keeps decision-making transparent, and ensures only reviewed recommendation content is released.
