 **Clarification & Notes:**
 
--
+- forgot line of thought due to interview being interrupted

 #### **4. What is the most important feature?**
+
 **Client’s Response:**
-(Example: "Initiative tracking needs to be easy and automatic.")
+
+Getting a reliable preferably optimal route of buses to get from point to point
 
 **Clarification & Notes:**
-- This feature should be the **core focus** of the software.
+
-- Other features (e.g., dice rolling) are secondary.
+- Focus on getting routes first and be reasonably certain they'll work
 
 ---
 
 #### **5. Is there a similar product on the market?**
 **Client’s Response:**
-(Example: "Yes, but they are either too complex or too expensive.")
+
+Google maps can be used to get routes which only use broome county buses but doesn't take OCCT buses into account.
+Furthermore it isn't clear if google maps can/would take into account live info for it's routes.
+
+There's also etaSpot which is only a live map of OCCT buses
 
 **Clarification & Notes:**
-- Competitor analysis needed.
+- Worth investigating how google maps determines routes algorithmically
-- Find a way to differentiate: **Simpler UI? Free version? Customizable?**
+- Need to integrate OCCT buses to be useful
 
 ---
 
 #### **6. Are there any existing products or technologies that will need to be integrated?**
+
 **Client’s Response:**
-(Example: "It would be nice if it worked with Roll20 or D&D Beyond.")
+
+No
 
 **Clarification & Notes:**
-- Check for **APIs** for possible integrations.
+
-- Consider a **manual import/export** feature if full integration isn’t feasible.
+- The client isn't aware of Broome county providing GTFS
+- Furthermore from prior question etaSpot can be used for live OCCT bus info

 #### **7. What does success look like for this project?**
+
 **Client’s Response:**
-(Example: "If my players can see whose turn it is without me saying anything, that’s a win.")
+
+If I can put in a place I want to go on my phone and get instructions to go there via bus that are good then I'd say it's a success.
 
 **Clarification & Notes:**
-- Focus on **visual clarity and notifications**.
+
+- Again focus on reliability and speed
 
 ---
 
 #### **8. What risks are associated with a malicious user?**
+
 **Client’s Response:**
-(Example: "Not much, unless players try to cheat dice rolls.")
+
+nothing?
 
 **Clarification & Notes:**
-- Consider **server-side dice validation** to prevent cheating.
+
+- There's some risk of DDOS on our endpoints and possible free riders but that isn't really a risk to other users
 
 ---
 
 #### **9. What is the expected lifetime of this software?**
+
 **Client’s Response:**
-(Example: "I want to use it for many campaigns, so it should last for years.")
+
+For my remaining time in university.
 
 **Clarification & Notes:**
-- Future **maintenance and updates** should be considered.
+
+- While this client will be leaving university soon there will be a continuous stream of new users so long term sustainability should be somewhat accounted for
 
 ---
 
 #### **10. What additional features would you like?**
+
 **Client’s Response:**
-(Example: "A way to send private messages to players would be cool.")
+
+Live map
 
 **Clarification & Notes:**
-- Nice-to-have, but **not essential** for version 1.
+
+- nice to have and reasonably easy to implement for OCCT, harder for broome county

 ## **Key Takeaways & Next Steps**
-- **Most important feature:** Initiative tracking
+
-- **Secondary features:** Dice rolling, notifications, private messaging
+- **Most important feature:** Route calculation
+- **Secondary features:** Live map and viewing schedules
 - **Deadline:** 3 months
-- **Risks:** Potential cheating in dice rolls
+- **Risks:** DDOS and freeloading users
 
 ### **Next Steps:**
-✅ Prioritize initiative tracking
+
-✅ Research existing products for inspiration
+- [ ] Collect data from GTFS and etaSpot api
-✅ Explore integration options with Roll20/D&D Beyond
+- [ ] Use data to calculate crude route from point to point
+- [ ] Improve route making
+- [ ] Add live map
