Workspace Readiness

Current State

LocaleScope now uses workspaces as the billing and quota subject, but the core research domain is still mostly user-owned.

Already workspace-scoped:

workspaces
workspace memberships
billing accounts
usage periods and counters
add-on purchases and balances

Still user-scoped but targeted for workspace ownership:

search jobs
deep research batches
saved businesses
search job results

Should remain user-scoped:

users
sessions

Practical Implication

The product currently operates in a mixed phase:

billing, quotas, and memberships are workspace-based
most saved operational data still behaves like personal user-owned data

This means some commercial promises can be enforced now, while others should remain soft-gated or clearly phased.

Enforceability Matrix

Hard enforce now:

research credits

Requires backend route before hard enforcement:

exports

Soft gate now:

users included
workspace limits

Requires schema migration first:

shared assets / shared history
collaboration permissions
tagging and notes
shared lists

Future implementation:

saved searches
deduplication
export history
scheduled research
CRM integrations
API access
webhooks
enrichments

Collaboration Phases

V1: Personal Data With Workspace Billing

a user consumes usage against their primary workspace
billing and quotas are tracked at the workspace level
search history and saved businesses remain effectively personal

V2: Shared Workspace Data

search jobs and deep research batches become workspace-owned
saved businesses and results become shareable across members
role-aware collaboration and shared asset rules become enforceable

Migration Target

Before team/workspace promises are enforced as real collaboration features, these tables should gain workspace_id ownership:

search_jobs
deep_research_batches
businesses
search_job_results

Recommended migration approach:

add nullable workspace_id
backfill from each user's primary workspace
update repositories/services to prefer workspace ownership
make workspace_id non-null once the transition is complete

Rule To Keep In Mind

Until workspace-owned domain data exists, team and collaboration plan promises should be treated as:

commercially described
softly gated in product messaging
not fully enforceable runtime collaboration behavior
