+PROJECT KICKOFF MEMO
+====================
+
+To: Core Team
+From: Quill
+Subject: Aurora Pipeline — Kickoff Draft
+
+1. Objective
+-----------
+Deliver a production-ready data pipeline for Aurora with <5 min latency and 99.9% uptime by 2026-12-31.
+
+2. Scope
+-------
+In: ingestion, transformation, validation, monitoring.
+Out: model training, front-end dashboards.
+
+3. Milestones
+------------
+- 2026-11-07: Schema lock
+- 2026-11-21: Alpha deploy
+- 2026-12-05: Beta with real traffic
+- 2026-12-31: GA
+
+4. Risks & Mitigations
+--------------------
+- Schema drift: lock early, versioned migrations.
+- Latency creep: p99 alerts at 3 min threshold.
+
+5. Open Questions
+---------------
+- Kafka or Kinesis for ingestion?
+- Who owns on-call rotation?
+
+---
+Status: Draft v0.1 — awaiting review.
