Live Demo Setup (Server Required)

This page clarifies exactly what needs a running server and how to launch it quickly.

Do they need a server?

Area Server Needed Notes
Executive docs (outcomes, role briefs, pilot plan, memo) No (mostly) Can be reviewed as static content. Best experience still via server-hosted URL.
Watch playlist videos + captions Recommended Works best when hosted; avoids file path issues and ensures all assets load.
Module Library (16 modules + platform demos) Recommended Best via hosted URL because dashboard links resolve through API host hydration.
Context API / compliance dashboard / live demo endpoints Yes These rely on backend routes and require the app server running.

Simple local setup (Windows-friendly)

  1. Open terminal in the repo root.
  2. Install dependencies once: npm install
  3. Start demo server: npm run dev:demo
  4. Open: http://localhost:3000/Squire-Executive-Package-v2/15-START-HERE-ASYNC-STANDALONE.html
  5. Optional verification: npm run demo:preflight:v2

Hosted option (easiest for reviewers)

For executive reviewers, the easiest path is a hosted URL where the server is already running. That removes all setup steps and makes the package one-click.

Open Demo Hub (Watch/Click/Read) Open Module Library (16 modules)

If live API checks are slow, continue with Watch/Read plus Module Library first, then retry Click steps.
