The outcome you are walking toward
A diligence briefing you can give without collapsing MCV.STORE into "another ecommerce catalog." You leave able to name STORE as a Solution — the physical organism layer — how waitlist and labeled pre-sale interest work today, what is still not purchasable, and where kit BOMs are finalized (briefing + site survey) — without inventing stock counts, unit prices, or a silent stock-availability cart.
Read this first: Solution, not Product
MCV.STORE is a Solution. The canonical surface is MCV.STORE under /solutions/store. It is not listed as a Product beside Agents. Kits and hardware lines compose the body of the organism; software alone is not enough at institutional scale. If a briefing treats STORE as a random device aisle or a public shopping cart, stop and reframe.
Composition context lives in Name what the organism is made of. Pattern outlines for kit / BOM composition live in integration patterns — they point here; they do not replace this leaf.
What STORE owns (honest spine)
Public posture on the Solution page organizes around:
- Physical organism layer — edge, vision, POS, inventory, access, displays, vertical hardware, and future categories on one Mesh / Synapse record — not a per-vendor silo shelf. Where that layer sits in the platform is the L0–L4 layer model.
- Standard, conformance-gated kits — reference configurations (component classes and quantity bands) finalized per site survey. The Core Edge kit is always in the composition story. Public LEVEL language only; evidence packs stay NDA / briefing — see conformance certification.
- Vertical hardware playbooks — Helix, Ember, Domain, and Scaffold describe kit composition without inventing live inventory. Capital and Law stay agent-only — no physical-kit storefronts for those lanes.
- Commerce honesty spine — waitlist → labeled pre-sale demo → production commerce only when a phase is GO'd. Prefer honesty over a hollow cart. Pilot shape for first sites still follows the pilot rollout checklist — interest paths are not a substitute for a written go/no-go.
Waitlist — interest, not an order (S1)
The dedicated waitlist is Join the STORE waitlist.
Say this aloud in a briefing:
- Waitlist capture is interest / notify — not ordering yet.
- No unit prices, no stock counts, no checkout on the waitlist path.
- When a pre-sale or pilot commerce path opens for a line you named, notification is the promise — not a silent inventory claim today.
Hardware interest that arrives through pricing or configurator conversations should still land on waitlist or briefing — not a public cart.
Pre-sale demo — labeled browse, not purchasable (S2)
The labeled pre-sale surface is STORE pre-sale demo.
Honesty rules that must survive every demo:
- Kits and upcoming lines are briefing / pre-order-interest vocabulary — availability labels are hedged.
- Not purchasable yet. No fake checkout, no invented SKU prices, no silent stock-availability theater.
- Browse exists so operators can name lines and register demo interest; configuration still finalizes in briefing and site survey.
- Production commerce (S3) stays blocked until an explicit GO — do not imply STORE already runs full production ecommerce.
Open the Solution page first when the room needs the thesis: MCV.STORE. Use pre-sale when they need to browse named lines without mistaking the demo for a live storefront.
What this spine deliberately does not publish
- No public unit prices, rate cards, or leading dollar inventory theater.
- No stock counts, warehouse quantities, or silent "available now" claims.
- No Capital / Law hardware kits — those verticals are agent-authority only.
- No claim that every kit line ships at equal maturity on day one without a governed rollout.
Offline and edge posture for the body of the organism is edge runtime offline resilience — designed continuity with explicit gap detection, never a single-delivery guarantee.
How to use this leaf in a briefing
- Open MCV.STORE and say Solution, not Product.
- Name the physical-organism thesis before any kit row.
- Walk waitlist (interest capture) and pre-sale (labeled demo) as honesty paths — register interest; do not invent a cart.
- Point vertical kit depth at the hardware playbooks; keep Capital / Law off the kit shelf.
- Push commercial numbers back to a scheduled briefing — never to invented inventory or pricing on this leaf.
Non-goals for this leaf
- No fake inventory, stock, or warehouse counts.
- No public unit prices, package SKUs-as-offers, or checkout flows presented as live.
- No named-vendor battle cards or invented customer logos.
- No present-tense claim that production ecommerce is already live for every line.
When the physical body is clear, continue composition via organism composition and counsel review via diligence resources.
