ProofPrep B2B Implementation Plan - Monorepo Architecture

This document outlines the strategic plan for extending ProofPrep with B2B functionality focused on enterprise HR departments and candidate screening, using a monorepo architecture for better separation of concerns.

Executive Summary

ProofPrep will expand beyond its current B2C interview preparation model to offer B2B services enabling companies to:

• Screen candidates through AI-powered mock interviews

• Receive detailed feedback and ratings on candidate performance

• Focus recruiting efforts on the most qualified candidates

• Streamline the hiring process with data-driven insights

B2C and B2B Integration Strategy

ProofPrep will maintain and enhance the existing B2C features while adding B2B functionality as parallel, integrated offerings using a monorepo architecture. This dual approach provides several advantages:

Strategic Benefits

• Dual Revenue Streams: B2C subscriptions provide steady recurring revenue while B2B contracts offer higher-value engagements

• Lead Generation: Individual users can become advocates for B2B adoption at their companies

• Market Coverage: Serving both job seekers and employers creates a complete ecosystem around interview preparation

• Shared Technology: Core AI interview technology and feedback mechanisms serve both audiences

Monorepo Architecture Approach

1. Workspace Separation

   • Dedicated applications for B2C (/apps/web) and B2B (/apps/company)

   • Shared component libraries in /packages/ui

   • Common utilities and services in /packages/shared

   • Domain-specific libraries (e.g., /packages/interview, /packages/auth)

2. User Experience

   • Independent but visually aligned experiences for personal and company users

   • Clear domain separation between the two applications

   • Consistent design language via shared UI component library

   • Common authentication for users across both applications

3. Data Architecture

   • Shared database with domain-specific collections

   • Cross-reference capabilities between B2C and B2B entities

   • Unified authentication system across applications

   • Shared API layer with application-specific endpoints

4. User Journey Integration

   • Seamless authentication across applications

   • Deep linking between B2C and B2B contexts

   • Shared notification system for cross-application events

   • User profiles accessible in both applications
