This document summarizes a development process for a top fund management platform. It outlines the developer's skills, including strong CEO and design skills, and modest Ruby on Rails, CSS, and SQL skills with no JavaScript experience. The goal is to immediately excite users by adding investment opportunities without data entry. It provides details on needed data types and fields for funds, and outlines the project management tools, communication channels, and development environments that will be used.
