The 143 → 5 story

Exploration was the strategy: ship fast, learn what serves international students and ministry teams, keep what works. Now the signal is in. Five pillars absorb everything worth keeping; the rest is archived or deleted.

Consolidation math

Before
91 Pages projects, individually deployed & maintained
After
5 pillar apps + 5 shared workers
Result
~95% reduction in deploy surface (91 → 5)

Est. ~13 hrs/month saved, assuming ~10 min/project/month of maintenance overhead (deploy checks, domain/cert drift, dependency alerts) across the 86 projects being retired. Assumption stated because it is an estimate, not a measurement.

2
builders. One org lead (fc-us, 80 repos) + one collaborator (44 repos incl. 13 bilingual workshop decks for Chinatown Service Center).
21
keep-core products with real users or strategic value — incl. care-navigator, accent-trainer, rising-faith, peoples-map.
1
monorepo (fc-super-app) already scaffolded with the Student Hub pillar live — consolidation started, not planned.
