08 — Master Feature Inventory: Every Feature Adopted, Prioritised by Criticality¶

Date: 2026-04-16 Principle: Adopt everything, discard nothing. Agent-centric UI means features surface contextually — no feature bloat risk. Prioritise by build criticality, not by whether to include.

Sources: 20+ competitor systems audited (Staffd, SmartAI, MakeSure Verify, Fasttrack360, Flare HR, DBIT/DPAY, Xero, RatesCalc, Bullhorn, 2cloudnine, 3B Onboarding, idibu, Whatfix, Traffio, Employment Hero, Humanforce, Deputy, JobAdder, KeyPay API, Assignar, MyPass Global, foundU, ELMO)

Why Adopt Everything¶

With Finnest's three-path interaction model (Agent / Notification / Navigation): - Agent surfaces relevant features contextually — a forklift operator never sees FIFO roster management - Industry profiles activate/deactivate modules — construction org doesn't see defence clearance features - Role-based progressive disclosure — field worker sees 5 screens, payroll admin sees 20 - Command bar (Cmd+K) — power users find anything instantly - Atomic architecture — each feature is an independent OTP app/module, adding features doesn't increase system complexity

The only constraint is build order, not feature scope.
