AeThex Ecosystem Audit & Consolidation Plan

Date: January 2025 Status: Current ecosystem analysis with consolidation recommendations

Executive Summary

You have 100+ routes spanning 6 "arms" (business divisions), multiple systems, and significant duplication. This audit identifies:

  1. What exists (complete route inventory)

  2. What's duplicated (routes serving same purpose)

  3. What's incomplete (routes with partial implementation)

  4. What should be removed (legacy/dead routes)

  5. Consolidation strategy (merge/redirect paths)

Result After Consolidation

Implementation Priority

  1. Remove legacy routes (Wix, consulting, game-development, research)

  2. Add 301 redirects where needed

  3. Update navigation links

Phase 2: Consolidation (4-6 hours)

  1. Rename /community → /foundation

  2. Update all internal links

  3. Verify all child routes work

Phase 3: New Systems (P1 Priority)

  1. Add /hub/client (Corp portal)

Recommendations

  1. Immediate: Clean up legacy routes to reduce confusion

  2. Strategic: Merge /community → /foundation to align with business division naming

  3. Nexus Priority: Enhance existing /creators and /opportunities routes with new features (vs. creating new routes)

  4. Corp Portal: Build /hub/client as new authenticated dashboard

  5. Navigation: Update header/footer to reflect consolidated routes

Files That Need Updates After Consolidation

  • code/client/App.tsx - Remove ~15 routes, reorganize
