Doulab Website Releases

This page tracks notable milestones and updates to the Doulab website.
For daily development tasks, see the internal CHECKLOG.md.

2025-09-28 - v0.7.3​

Highlights​

  • Federated AI whitepaper rebuilt for rigor and stability: IMM-P © standardized, copyright symbol fixed, MDX parsing errors resolved, and academic scaffolding added (research questions, methodology, pilots, comparative analysis, threats/limitations, ethics/compliance, TCO, repeatability, risks/mitigations, UX checklist, minimum evidence, glossary, style snapshot).
  • Innovation Readiness Workshop page now links to core services/docs and uses the live bookings CTA.

UX & CTAs​

  • Wired the hero “Book a discovery call” CTA on the Innovation Readiness Workshop page to the configured bookings URL (mirrors the final CTA).
  • Added a related-links section on the workshop page pointing to ClarityScan, IMM-P program, Custom Workshops, and the distributed federated AI whitepaper.

Content & Docs​

  • Standardized IMM-P © usage across the whitepaper and updated front matter to fix MDX build breaks.
  • Restored whitepaper content from backup and ensured comparison operators are escaped to satisfy MDX.

Known follow-ups​

  • Replace the placeholder BOOKINGS_URL with the final Microsoft Bookings link once available.

2025-09-24 - v0.7.2​

Highlights​

  • New blog post: "Vigía Futura: Why Latin America Needs a Strategic Foresight Observatory"
  • Stripe Checkout now powers ClarityScan® purchases with a single CTA source of truth.
  • Added a post-payment success page that immediately surfaces the Microsoft Bookings link.

UX & CTAs​

  • Repointed every “Book a ClarityScan® online” CTA to the Stripe checkout (home, services, case studies, contact, What We Do, Work With Us, Vigía Futura, etc.).
  • Introduced a page, auto-opening the Microsoft Bookings page and keeping a fallback CTA on-screen.
  • Standardized booking copy to “ClarityScan®” across the flow.

Content & Taxonomy​

  • Added foresight and latin-america blog tags for upcoming signal and regional coverage.

DX & Maintenance​

  • Introduced src/constants/urls.ts so ClarityScan® booking and checkout URLs live in one reusable place.

2025-09-13 - v0.7.1​

Highlights​

  • Blog cards reliability: fixed homepage and Insights "Latest from the blog" cards linking to a non-prefixed path (404 risk). Links are now normalized to always live under /blog.
  • New post: “ClarityScan®: how a 30-45 minute baseline reduces decision latency”.

UX & CTAs​

  • Added/standardized direct “Book a ClarityScan® online” CTAs across the site, pointing to Outlook Bookings.
    • Home: hero secondary CTA + final CTA (src/pages/index.tsx).
    • Insights: final CTA (src/pages/insights/index.tsx).
    • About: final CTA (src/pages/about/index.tsx).
    • Contact: final CTA (src/pages/contact/index.tsx).
    • Case studies: final CTA on AFP Siembra, Alpha Inversiones, FUNDAPEC, OGTIC/RedLab, and index (src/pages/case-studies/*).
    • Vigía Futura: final CTA (src/pages/vigia-futura/index.tsx).
    • Services: ClarityScan page final CTA (src/pages/services/clarityscan.tsx).
  • Service-specific booking links where relevant:
    • Custom Workshops: added a half-day booking link in-page and final CTA (src/pages/services/custom-workshops.tsx).
    • Coaching & Mentoring, Innovation Maturity: final CTAs include “Book a ClarityScan® online” as the on-ramp (src/pages/services/coaching-mentoring.tsx, src/pages/services/innovation-maturity.tsx).
  • Added canonical booking redirect page: /book-clarityscan (src/pages/book-clarityscan.tsx).

Technical changes​

  • Homepage RSS parser update to normalize same-origin links to /blog.
    • src/pages/index.tsx:391 (useLatestBlogPosts) ensures same-origin links that don’t start with /blog are prefixed.
  • Insights page RSS/Atom parser updated with the same normalization.
    • src/pages/insights/index.tsx:25 (sameOriginToRelative) prefixes same-origin links with /blog.
  • Removed temporary static redirects (not needed after normalization).

QA notes​

  • Verified dev build resolves latest post cards to /blog/<slug>.
  • External links and dated blog URLs remain unchanged.

Known follow-ups​

  • Blog tag permalinks look duplicated (e.g., /blog/tags/blog/tags/...) in dev metadata; investigate taxonomy config and plugin output.
