+## Executive Summary
+
+Silo is an R&D-oriented item database and part management system designed for FreeCAD integration. It provides configurable part number generation, revision tracking, BOM management, and file versioning through MinIO storage.
+
+This document compares Silo's current capabilities against SOLIDWORKS PDM—the industry-leading product data management solution—to identify gaps and prioritize future development.
+
+### Key Differentiators
+
+| Aspect | Silo | SOLIDWORKS PDM |
+|--------|------|----------------|
+| **Target CAD** | FreeCAD / Kindred Create (open source) | SOLIDWORKS (proprietary) |
+| **Part Numbering** | Schema-as-configuration (YAML) | Fixed format with some customization |
+| **Licensing** | Open source / Kindred Proprietary | Commercial ($3,000-$10,000+ per seat) |
+| **Storage** | PostgreSQL + MinIO (S3-compatible) | SQL Server + File Archive |
+| **Philosophy** | R&D-oriented, lightweight | Enterprise-grade, comprehensive |

+## SOLIDWORKS PDM Gap Analysis
+
+This section compares Silo's capabilities against SOLIDWORKS PDM features. Gaps are categorized by priority and implementation complexity.
+
+### Legend
+- **Silo Status:** Full / Partial / None
+- **Priority:** Critical / High / Medium / Low
+- **Complexity:** Simple / Moderate / Complex
+
+---
+
+### 1. Version Control & Revision Management
+
+| Feature | SOLIDWORKS PDM | Silo Status | Priority | Complexity |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|----------|------------|
+| Check-in/check-out | Full pessimistic locking | None | High | Moderate |
+| Version history | Complete with branching | Full (linear) | - | - |
+| Revision labels | A, B, C or custom schemes | Full (custom labels) | - | - |
+| Rollback/restore | Full | Full | - | - |
+| Compare revisions | Visual + metadata diff | Metadata diff only | Medium | Complex |
+| Get Latest Revision | One-click retrieval | Partial (API only) | Medium | Simple |
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+Silo lacks pessimistic locking (check-out), which is critical for multi-user CAD environments where file merging is impractical. Visual diff comparison would require FreeCAD integration for CAD file visualization.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Workflow Management
+
+| Feature | SOLIDWORKS PDM | Silo Status | Priority | Complexity |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|----------|------------|
+| Custom workflows | Full visual designer | None | Critical | Complex |
+| State transitions | Configurable with permissions | Basic (status field only) | Critical | Complex |
+| Parallel approvals | Multiple approvers required | None | High | Complex |
+| Automatic transitions | Timer/condition-based | None | Medium | Moderate |
+| Email notifications | On state change | None | High | Moderate |
+| ECO process | Built-in change management | None | High | Complex |
+| Child state conditions | Block parent if children invalid | None | Medium | Moderate |
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+Workflow management is the largest functional gap. SOLIDWORKS PDM offers sophisticated state machines with parallel approvals, automatic transitions, and deep integration with engineering change processes. Silo currently has only a simple status field (draft/review/released/obsolete) with no transition rules or approval processes.
+
+---
+
+### 3. User Management & Security
+
+| Feature | SOLIDWORKS PDM | Silo Status | Priority | Complexity |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|----------|------------|
+| User authentication | Windows AD, LDAP | None (single-user) | Critical | Moderate |
+| Role-based permissions | Granular per folder/state | None | Critical | Complex |
+| Group management | Full | None | Critical | Moderate |
+| Folder permissions | Read/write/delete per folder | None | High | Moderate |
+| State permissions | Actions allowed per state | None | High | Moderate |
+| Audit trail | Complete action logging | None | High | Moderate |
+| Private files | Pre-check-in visibility control | None | Low | Simple |
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+Silo currently operates as single-user with no authentication. Multi-user deployment requires authentication (LDAP planned), authorization (role-based access), and audit logging. This is prerequisite for any team environment.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Search & Discovery
+
+| Feature | SOLIDWORKS PDM | Silo Status | Priority | Complexity |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|----------|------------|
+| Metadata search | Full with custom cards | Partial (API query params) | High | Moderate |
+| Full-text content search | iFilters for Office, CAD | None | Medium | Complex |
+| Quick search | Toolbar with history | None (API only) | Medium | Simple |
+| Saved searches | User-defined favorites | None | Medium | Simple |
+| Advanced operators | AND, OR, NOT, wildcards | None | Medium | Simple |
+| Multi-variable search | Search across multiple fields | None | Medium | Simple |
+| Where-used search | Find all assemblies using part | None | High | Moderate |
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+Silo has basic API-level filtering but lacks a rich search interface. Content search (searching within CAD files) would require FreeCAD file parsing. "Where-used" queries are particularly valuable for impact analysis.
+
+---
+
+### 5. BOM Management
+
+| Feature | SOLIDWORKS PDM | Silo Status | Priority | Complexity |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|----------|------------|
+| Single-level BOM | Yes | Full | - | - |
+| Multi-level BOM | Indented/exploded views | Schema only (no API) | High | Moderate |
+| BOM comparison | Between revisions | None | Medium | Moderate |
+| BOM export | Excel, XML, ERP formats | None | High | Simple |
+| Calculated BOMs | Quantities rolled up | None | Medium | Moderate |
+| Reference designators | Full support | Full | - | - |
+| Alternate parts | Substitute tracking | Full | - | - |
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+BOM structure exists in the database but API endpoints for multi-level BOM retrieval and export are missing. BOM comparison between revisions would be valuable for change impact analysis.
+
+---
+
+### 6. CAD Integration
+
+| Feature | SOLIDWORKS PDM | Silo Status | Priority | Complexity |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|----------|------------|
+| Native CAD add-in | Deep SOLIDWORKS integration | FreeCAD workbench (partial) | High | Complex |
+| Property mapping | Bi-directional sync | Planned | High | Moderate |
+| Task pane | Embedded in CAD UI | None | Medium | Complex |
+| Lightweight components | Handle without full load | N/A for FreeCAD | - | - |
+| Drawing/model linking | Automatic association | Manual | Medium | Moderate |
+| Multi-CAD support | Third-party formats | FreeCAD only | Low | - |
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+FreeCAD workbench commands exist but need thorough testing. Property synchronization between Silo database and FreeCAD document properties is planned but not implemented.
+
+---
+
+### 7. External Integrations
+
+| Feature | SOLIDWORKS PDM | Silo Status | Priority | Complexity |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|----------|------------|
+| ERP integration | SAP, Dynamics, etc. | None | Medium | Complex |
+| API access | Full COM/REST API | Full REST API | - | - |
+| Dispatch scripts | Automation without coding | None | Medium | Moderate |
+| Task scheduler | Background processing | None | Medium | Moderate |
+| Email system | SMTP integration | None | High | Simple |
+| Web portal | Browser access | Partial (basic UI) | High | Moderate |
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+Silo has a solid REST API foundation. ERP integration can be built on this API but would require specific adapters per target system. Email notifications and scheduled tasks would enhance workflow automation.
+
+---
+
+### 8. Reporting & Analytics
+
+| Feature | SOLIDWORKS PDM | Silo Status | Priority | Complexity |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|----------|------------|
+| Standard reports | Inventory, usage, activity | None | Medium | Moderate |
+| Custom reports | User-defined queries | None | Medium | Moderate |
+| Dashboard | Visual KPIs | None | Low | Moderate |
+| Export formats | PDF, Excel, CSV | CSV only | Medium | Simple |
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+Reporting capabilities are absent. Basic reports (item counts, revision activity, where-used) would provide immediate value.
+
+---
+
+### 9. File Handling
+
+| Feature | SOLIDWORKS PDM | Silo Status | Priority | Complexity |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|----------|------------|
+| File versioning | Automatic | Full (MinIO) | - | - |
+| File preview | Thumbnails, 3D preview | None | Medium | Complex |
+| File conversion | PDF, DXF generation | None | Medium | Complex |
+| Replication | Multi-site sync | None | Low | Complex |
+| File copy with refs | Copy tree with references | None | Medium | Moderate |
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+File storage works well. Thumbnail generation and file preview would significantly improve the web UI experience. Automatic conversion to PDF/DXF is valuable for sharing with non-CAD users.
+
+---
+
+### Gap Summary by Priority
+
+#### Critical Gaps (Required for Team Use)
+1. **User authentication** - LDAP/SSO integration
+2. **Role-based permissions** - Folder and state-level access control
+3. **Workflow engine** - State machines with transitions and approvals
+4. **Check-out locking** - Pessimistic locking for CAD files
+
+#### High Priority Gaps (Significant Value)
+1. **Email notifications** - Alert users on state changes
+2. **Where-used search** - Impact analysis for changes
+3. **Multi-level BOM API** - Retrieve full assembly structure
+4. **BOM export** - Excel/CSV/XML for downstream systems
+5. **Audit trail** - Log all user actions
+6. **Web UI search** - User-friendly search interface
+
+#### Medium Priority Gaps (Nice to Have)
+1. **Saved searches** - Frequently used queries
+2. **File preview/thumbnails** - Visual browsing
+3. **Reporting** - Activity and inventory reports
+4. **Scheduled tasks** - Background automation
+5. **BOM comparison** - Revision diff for assemblies

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### On psql.kindred.internal
+
+1. Create the Silo database and user:
+
+```sql
+-- Connect as postgres superuser
+CREATE USER silo WITH PASSWORD 'your-secure-password';
+CREATE DATABASE silo OWNER silo;
+
+-- Grant necessary permissions
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE silo TO silo;
+
+-- Connect to silo database
+\c silo
+
+-- Enable UUID extension
+CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "uuid-ossp";
+```
+
+2. Run migrations:
+
+```bash
+# From the silo project directory
+psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f migrations/001_initial.sql
+psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f migrations/002_sequence_by_name.sql
+psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f migrations/003_remove_material.sql
+psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f migrations/004_cad_sync_state.sql
+psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f migrations/005_property_schema_version.sql
+psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f migrations/006_project_tags.sql
+psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f migrations/007_revision_status.sql
+```
+
+Or run all at once:
+
+```bash
+for f in migrations/*.sql; do
+  echo "Running $f..."
+  psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f "$f"
+done
+```
+
+3. Allow connections from Silo VM in `pg_hba.conf`:
+
+```
+# Allow silo.kindred.internal to connect
+hostssl silo silo silo.kindred.internal/32 scram-sha-256
+```
+
+### On minio.kindred.internal
+
+1. Create the Silo bucket and access credentials:
+
+```bash
+# Using mc (MinIO Client)
+mc alias set kindred https://minio.kindred.internal ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY ADMIN_SECRET_KEY
+
+# Create bucket with versioning
+mc mb kindred/silo-files
+mc version enable kindred/silo-files
+
+# Create service account for Silo
+mc admin user add kindred silo-service 'your-minio-secret-key'
+
+# Create policy for silo-files bucket
+cat > /tmp/silo-policy.json << 'EOF'
+{
+  "Version": "2012-10-17",
+  "Statement": [
+    {
+      "Effect": "Allow",
+      "Action": [
+        "s3:GetObject",
+        "s3:PutObject",
+        "s3:DeleteObject",
+        "s3:ListBucket",
+        "s3:GetBucketVersioning",
+        "s3:GetObjectVersion",
+        "s3:DeleteObjectVersion"
+      ],
+      "Resource": [
+        "arn:aws:s3:::silo-files",
+        "arn:aws:s3:::silo-files/*"
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+EOF
+
+mc admin policy create kindred silo-policy /tmp/silo-policy.json
+mc admin policy attach kindred silo-policy --user silo-service
+```
+
+2. Verify SSL certificate is valid (or configure Silo to use non-SSL if internal).
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+### Option A: Systemd Service (Recommended for Production)
+
+#### 1. Prepare the Silo VM
+
+```bash
+# Create silo user
+sudo useradd -r -m -d /opt/silo -s /sbin/nologin silo
+
+# Create directories
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/silo/bin
+sudo mkdir -p /etc/silo/schemas
+sudo mkdir -p /var/log/silo
+
+# Set ownership
+sudo chown -R silo:silo /opt/silo /var/log/silo
+sudo chown root:silo /etc/silo
+sudo chmod 750 /etc/silo
+```
+
+#### 2. Build and Install Binary
+
+```bash
+# On build machine (requires Go 1.23+)
+cd /path/to/silo
+CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -ldflags="-w -s" -o silod ./cmd/silod
+
+# Copy to Silo VM
+scp silod silo.kindred.internal:/tmp/
+ssh silo.kindred.internal "sudo mv /tmp/silod /opt/silo/bin/ && sudo chmod 755 /opt/silo/bin/silod"
+```
+
+#### 3. Install Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Copy config file
+scp deployments/config.prod.yaml silo.kindred.internal:/tmp/config.yaml
+ssh silo.kindred.internal "sudo mv /tmp/config.yaml /etc/silo/config.yaml"
+
+# Copy schemas
+scp -r schemas/* silo.kindred.internal:/tmp/schemas/
+ssh silo.kindred.internal "sudo mv /tmp/schemas/* /etc/silo/schemas/"
+
+# Create environment file with secrets
+ssh silo.kindred.internal
+sudo cat > /etc/silo/silod.env << 'EOF'
+SILO_DB_PASSWORD=your-database-password
+SILO_MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=silo-service
+SILO_MINIO_SECRET_KEY=your-minio-secret-key
+EOF
+sudo chmod 600 /etc/silo/silod.env
+sudo chown root:silo /etc/silo/silod.env
+```
+
+#### 4. Install Systemd Service
+
+```bash
+# Copy service file
+scp deployments/systemd/silod.service silo.kindred.internal:/tmp/
+ssh silo.kindred.internal "sudo mv /tmp/silod.service /etc/systemd/system/"
+
+# Enable and start
+ssh silo.kindred.internal << 'EOF'
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable silod
+sudo systemctl start silod
+sudo systemctl status silod
+EOF
+```
+
+#### 5. Verify Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Check service status
+sudo systemctl status silod
+
+# Check logs
+sudo journalctl -u silod -f
+
+# Test health endpoint
+curl http://localhost:8080/health
+
+# Test readiness (verifies DB and MinIO connectivity)
+curl http://localhost:8080/ready
+```
+
+---
+
+### Option B: Docker Compose
+
+#### 1. Install Docker on Silo VM
+
+```bash
+# Debian/Ubuntu
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install -y docker.io docker-compose-plugin
+sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+```
+
+#### 2. Clone Repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/kindred-systems/silo.git /opt/silo
+cd /opt/silo
+```
+
+#### 3. Configure Environment
+
+```bash
+# Create .env file
+cat > /opt/silo/deployments/.env << 'EOF'
+SILO_DB_PASSWORD=your-database-password
+SILO_MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=silo-service
+SILO_MINIO_SECRET_KEY=your-minio-secret-key
+SILO_BASE_URL=http://silo.kindred.internal:8080
+EOF
+chmod 600 /opt/silo/deployments/.env
+```
+
+#### 4. Start Service
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/silo/deployments
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yaml up -d
+```
+
+#### 5. Verify
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yaml ps
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yaml logs -f
+curl http://localhost:8080/ready
+```
+
+---
+
+## Post-Deployment Configuration
+
+### DNS Setup
+
+Add DNS records for `silo.kindred.internal` pointing to the Silo VM IP address.
+
+### Firewall Rules
+
+```bash
+# Allow incoming connections on port 8080
+sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp
+
+# Or with iptables
+sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
+```
+
+### Reverse Proxy (Optional)
+
+For TLS termination, configure nginx or caddy:
+
+```nginx
+# /etc/nginx/sites-available/silo
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl http2;
+    server_name silo.kindred.internal;
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/silo.kindred.internal.crt;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/silo.kindred.internal.key;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### View Logs
+
+```bash
+# Systemd
+sudo journalctl -u silod -f
+sudo journalctl -u silod --since "1 hour ago"
+
+# Docker
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yaml logs -f silo
+```
+
+### Restart Service
+
+```bash
+# Systemd
+sudo systemctl restart silod
+
+# Docker
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yaml restart silo
+```
+
+### Update Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Systemd - rebuild and replace binary
+go build -ldflags="-w -s" -o silod ./cmd/silod
+sudo systemctl stop silod
+sudo cp silod /opt/silo/bin/silod
+sudo systemctl start silod
+
+# Docker - rebuild and restart
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yaml build
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yaml up -d
+```
+
+### Database Migrations
+
+When updating Silo, check for new migrations:
+
+```bash
+# List migration files
+ls -la migrations/
+
+# Run new migrations
+psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f migrations/008_new_feature.sql
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Refused to PostgreSQL
+
+1. Verify network connectivity: `nc -zv psql.kindred.internal 5432`
+2. Check `pg_hba.conf` allows connections from Silo VM
+3. Verify firewall rules on PostgreSQL server
+4. Check credentials in `/etc/silo/silod.env`
+
+### Connection Refused to MinIO
+
+1. Verify network connectivity: `nc -zv minio.kindred.internal 9000`
+2. Check SSL settings match (use_ssl: true/false)
+3. Verify access key and secret key
+4. Check bucket exists: `mc ls kindred/silo-files`
+
+### Service Won't Start
+
+1. Check logs: `sudo journalctl -u silod -n 50`
+2. Verify config syntax: `/opt/silo/bin/silod -config /etc/silo/config.yaml -validate`
+3. Check file permissions on config and env files
+4. Verify schemas directory exists and contains YAML files
+
+### Health Check Fails
+
+```bash
+# Test each component
+curl http://localhost:8080/health   # Basic health
+curl http://localhost:8080/ready    # Full readiness (DB + MinIO)
+
+# If ready fails, check individual services
+psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -c "SELECT 1"
+mc ls kindred/silo-files
+```
+
