Intelligence Trajectory Platform (ITP)

The Intelligence Trajectory Platform is the world's first meta-platform designed to quantitatively measure, validate, and accelerate human learning and intellectual growth across any knowledge domain or skill.

🎉 Current Status

Development Phase: MVP Foundation Complete ✅
Last Updated: October 1st 2025
Status: Core platform infrastructure built, UI/UX implemented, ready for feature development

🎯 Vision

ITP transforms the amorphous journey of learning into a data-driven trajectory, providing individuals with verifiable proof of growth and a universal metric for their intellectual velocity.

🏗️ Architecture

Core Components

1. Intelligence Trajectory Index (ITI) - Universal difficulty rating system
2. Focused Learning Timer (FLT) - Precise measurement of active learning engagement
3. Mastery & Validation Engine - Multi-modal verification of learning outcomes

Technology Stack

• Frontend: Next.js 14+ with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Node.js/TypeScript microservices
• Database: PostgreSQL, Redis
• Infrastructure: Docker, AWS (production)

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ (Install via Homebrew or nodejs.org)
• Docker & Docker Compose
• Git

Development Setup

1. Clone and install dependencies:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd intelligence-trajectory-platform
   chmod +x setup.sh
   ./setup.sh

2. Start development environment:

   npm run docker:up
   npm run dev

3. Access the application:

   • Frontend: http://localhost:3000
   • Backend API: http://localhost:3001
   • Database: localhost:5432

What's Working Now

✅ Complete UI/UX System: Dark theme with electric blue accents, professional typography
✅ Authentication Pages: Login and registration with form validation
✅ Dashboard: User dashboard with stats overview and navigation
✅ Demo Page: Interactive demonstration of ITP features
✅ Navigation: Intuitive logo-based navigation across all pages
✅ Responsive Design: Mobile-friendly interface with Tailwind CSS
✅ Backend Infrastructure: Express.js server with Prisma ORM and PostgreSQL
✅ Database Schema: Complete user, learning objective, and session models

Available Scripts

• npm run dev - Start both frontend and backend in development mode
• npm run build - Build both frontend and backend for production
• npm run test - Run all tests
• npm run docker:up - Start all services with Docker Compose
• npm run docker:down - Stop all Docker services

🔧 Development

Backend Development

The backend is built with Node.js/TypeScript and follows a microservices architecture:

• Authentication Service - User management and JWT tokens
• ITI Engine - Intelligence Trajectory Index calculation
• FLT Service - Focused Learning Timer tracking
• Validation Engine - Mastery validation and peer review

Frontend Development

The frontend is built with Next.js 14+ and includes:

• Dashboard - Learning progress and velocity visualization
• Objective Management - Create and manage learning objectives
• Session Tracking - Real-time learning session monitoring
• Validation Interface - Submit and review learning evidence

🧪 Testing

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run backend tests only
npm run test:backend

# Run frontend tests only
npm run test:frontend
