Product Context

Meridian is an AI-powered marine insurance claims platform. A shipowner reports an incident, the AI produces a first-pass legal assessment grounded in citable maritime law, the insurer reviews and approves it, and the shipowner receives operational instructions. What’s being built right now is an investor-demo MVP, not a working product — everything is hardcoded, and the goal is a convincing, clickable prototype a founder can walk investors through end-to-end.

This page is a pointer, not a copy — the authoritative version lives in the repo and is what Claude Code reads automatically when working on the UI. See docs/design/product-context.md for:

• The full product description and the three (plus one quieter) things the demo has to convince investors of
• The two representative demo users — Kaptein Erik Haugen (shipowner) and Ingrid Solberg (insurer)
• The incident scenario (MV Nordkapp Star, heavy weather, general average, salvage) and its legal citations
• What was deliberately adopted from a walkthrough of the client’s live meridian.viamo.no property, and what was deliberately kept different (separate role logins, our own scenario, a closing “Instructions” loop)

Keep this page in sync only in the sense of linking to the right file — the content itself belongs in the repo, not here, so it can’t drift out of sync with what the demo actually does.
