+# Improvement Policy
+
+GeoIntel should be strict enough for autonomous execution but flexible enough for good engineering.
+
+## Desired improvements
+
+Codex is encouraged to improve:
+
+- typed API clients;
+- service boundaries;
+- validation specificity;
+- reusable geospatial utilities;
+- test determinism;
+- frontend state handling;
+- developer commands;
+- logging and diagnostics;
+- small UX clarity improvements.
+
+## Undesired improvements
+
+Do not add:
+
+- unrelated dashboards;
+- user accounts before V1;
+- payment/billing;
+- social features;
+- generic file manager replacing dataset manager;
+- raw LLM chatbot as a central feature;
+- unsupported live data scraping;
+- excessive styling frameworks beyond the chosen frontend stack.
+
+## Improvement report format
+
+When making improvements beyond the exact prompt, add:
+
+```text
+IMPROVEMENT:
