Notes for Reviewers

• Live Beta / PoC Available: We highly encourage the Tech & Ops Committee to test our working prototype at https://cantonflow.vercel.app/.
• Zero AI Hallucinations: We deliberately chose a strict Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) compiler over LLM-based generation to ensure 100% determinism and security, which is critical for enterprise financial networks.
• Funding & Timeline: We are requesting a total of 300,000 CC over a fast-paced, 10-week execution roadmap, led by a dedicated two-person team. We are ready to build the visual future of the Canton ecosystem!
