Requirements: GearBox v1.3 Research & Decision Tools
Defined: 2026-03-16 Core Value: Make it effortless to manage gear and plan new purchases -- see how a potential buy affects your total setup weight and cost before committing.
v1.3 Requirements
Requirements for this milestone. Each maps to roadmap phases.
Comparison View
- COMP-01: User can view candidates side-by-side in a tabular comparison layout (weight, price, images, notes, links, status)
- COMP-02: User can see relative deltas highlighting the lightest and cheapest candidate with +/- differences
- COMP-03: Comparison table scrolls horizontally with a sticky label column on narrow viewports
- COMP-04: Comparison view displays read-only summary for resolved threads
Candidate Ranking
- RANK-01: User can drag candidates to reorder priority ranking within a thread
- RANK-02: Top 3 ranked candidates display rank badges (gold, silver, bronze)
- RANK-03: User can add pros and cons text per candidate displayed as bullet lists
- RANK-04: Candidate rank order persists across sessions
- RANK-05: Drag handles and ranking are disabled on resolved threads
Impact Preview
- IMPC-01: User can select a setup and see weight and cost delta for each candidate
- IMPC-02: Impact preview auto-detects replace mode when a setup item exists in the same category as the thread
- IMPC-03: Impact preview shows add mode (pure addition) when no category match exists in the selected setup
- IMPC-04: Candidates with missing weight data show a clear indicator instead of misleading zero deltas
Future Requirements
Deferred to future milestones. Tracked but not in current roadmap.
Data Management
- DATA-01: User can import gear collection from CSV
- DATA-02: User can export gear collection to CSV
Social & Multi-User
- SOCL-01: User can create an account with authentication
- SOCL-02: User can share collections and setups publicly
- SOCL-03: User can view other users' public profiles and setups
Automation
- AUTO-01: System can auto-fill product information (price, weight, images) from external sources
Out of Scope
Explicitly excluded. Documented to prevent scope creep.
| Feature | Reason |
|---|---|
| Custom comparison attributes | Complexity trap -- weight/price covers 80% of cases |
| Score/rating calculation | Opaque algorithms distrust; manual ranking expresses user preference better |
| Cross-thread comparison | Candidates are decision-scoped; different categories are not apples-to-apples |
| Classification-aware impact breakdown | Data available but UI complexity high; flat delta covers 90% of use case |
| Comparison permalink | Requires auth/multi-user work not in scope for v1 |
| Mobile-optimized comparison (swipe) | Horizontal scroll works for now |
| Rank badge on card grid view | Low urgency; add when users express confusion |
Traceability
