## Quick Decision Tree

### I need to...

**Understand the basics**
→ Start with SUMMARY.md → Read NOTIFICATION_FLOW_DIAGRAMS.md

**Decide what to build first**
→ Read push_notifications_opportunities.md (Priority sections)

**Understand the code**
→ Use code_locations_reference.md to navigate → Then read push_notifications_analysis.md

**Implement a feature**
→ Check code_locations_reference.md for file locations
→ Find relevant code example in push_notifications_analysis.md
→ Cross-reference push_notifications_opportunities.md for templates

**Design the system**
→ Read push_notifications_analysis.md completely
→ Study NOTIFICATION_FLOW_DIAGRAMS.md
→ Review database schema section
→ Check multi-tenancy considerations

**Train a new team member**
→ Start with SUMMARY.md
→ Show NOTIFICATION_FLOW_DIAGRAMS.md
→ Have them read push_notifications_opportunities.md
→ Assign code_locations_reference.md as reference

## Question Checklist Before Starting

### Business Questions
- [ ] What are the top 3 notification types to implement first?
- [ ] Should notifications be real-time or support digest mode?
- [ ] Do we have target delivery time requirements (e.g., <5 seconds)?
- [ ] What's the acceptable frequency of notifications?

### Technical Questions
- [ ] Will we support mobile apps? (Need FCM/APNs)
- [ ] Is there an existing analytics system for notification metrics?
- [ ] Do we have a message queue system (Sidekiq)?
- [ ] What's the database capacity for notification history?

### Product Questions
- [ ] Should users have granular notification preferences?
- [ ] Do we need webhook support for external systems?

## Contributing Notes

When adding new notification types:
1. Update the opportunity list in `push_notifications_opportunities.md`
2. Add code location to `code_locations_reference.md`
3. Create flow diagram in `NOTIFICATION_FLOW_DIAGRAMS.md`
4. Update SUMMARY.md if it affects priorities
5. Update implementation timeline if needed
