Executive Summary

I'll build your AI Deal-Maker platform as a modern web application - a secure negotiation tool where buyers and sellers can find fair deals without revealing their limits.

The MVP will deliver a working silent negotiation system with room creation, user accounts, and a clean game theory-based workflow. Phase 2 will add AI agents that can negotiate on behalf of users.

Investment Overview

Phase 1 Investment: $150/hour, max $6,000 (40 hours)
Phase 2 Investment: $150/hour, max $18,000 (120 hours)
Total Timeline: 6-8 weeks for both phases
Start Date: August 25, 2025

## Project Understanding

Based on our discussion, you need a web platform that solves the fundamental problem of negotiation deadlock - where buyers and sellers can't find a deal because neither wants to reveal their true limits.

The Core Innovation

Sellers set minimum prices privately
Buyers set maximum prices privately
The system provides new offer suggestions without revealing either party's limits
Optional price revelation for seller (a fee)
Can be run manually or with AI agents

Success Metrics

Working negotiation rooms with unique URLs
Secure state machine that protects price privacy
Clean, responsive web UI that builds user trust
AI agents that can negotiate effectively (Phase 2)

Phase 1: MVP Web Application

Maximum: 40 hours @ $150/hour = $6,000

## Core Deliverables

Component	Features	Acceptance Criteria
User System	Account creation with UUID Authentication and encryption Session management	Users can securely access rooms
Room Creation	Seller creates negotiation room Unique room URLs Room status management Expiration handling	Rooms accessible via shareable links/QR code
Negotiation Engine	State machine workflow Price overlap detection Midpoint calculation Offer history tracking	Game theory logic works correctly
Deal Clauses	Add/edit/remove clauses Clause approval system Both parties must approve	Changes require mutual consent
Web Interface	Clean, modern React interface Mobile-responsive design Real-time updates Clear status indicators	Professional, trustworthy appearance
Security	HTTPS/SSL encryption Secure authentication Price data protection Audit logging	Data never exposed inappropriately

## State Machine Flow

1. ROOM_CREATED → Seller sets minimum price
2. BUYER_JOINED → Buyer sets maximum price
3. CHECKING_OVERLAP →
   a. If overlap: DEAL_POSSIBLE → Show accept/negotiate options
   b. If no overlap: NO_DEAL → Allow new prices or exit
4. NEGOTIATING → Users adjust prices
5. DEAL_ACCEPTED or DEAL_TERMINATED

Security & Privacy

## Data Protection

Encryption: All data encrypted at rest and in transit (HTTPS)
Price Privacy: Prices never revealed unless explicitly authorized
User-Managed: Password-based encryption controlled by users
Audit Trail: Complete logs for security review

## AI Boundaries

Each AI agent only sees its own side's data
No cross-contamination between buyer/seller contexts
Chat history isolated per party
No training on user data

Risk Mitigation

Key Uncertainties	Considerations
AI Hallucinations	Will the agentic workflow generate negotiation offers that are illogical or outside business constraints?
User Experience	Can the interface be designed to be both clean and intuitive for users with varying technical backgrounds?
Human Oversight	How seamless is the process for users to review, approve, or override AI-generated offers?
Security & Privacy	How will sensitive negotiation data be protected throughout the workflow and storage?
Scalability	Will the system architecture support rapid growth and increased negotiation volume?
