BizLaw

Engine for a two-team, asynchronous legal negotiation simulation used in college business law courses. Two student teams take opposing sides of one authored case and negotiate toward a settlement their client will accept, across a calendar of Days. An instructor runs sections, drives the clock and grades.

Status

Greenfield. The previous Rails application was ruled throwaway in Map #257 and stripped in #283; what is here now is a Rails 8 skeleton on SQLite with structure.sql tracked. The engine's tables, models and read surfaces arrive with #282's chain.

Stack

Ruby on Rails 8 on SQLite, with Solid Queue, Solid Cache and Solid Cable on the same volume. Inertia and Svelte drive the game view and are installed when there is a surface to render. No LLM client runs in the web tier — NPC dialogue is generated offline and stored.

Decisions of record are in docs/adr/; the domain vocabulary is in CONTEXT.md.
