 # Waku's requirements on Status
 
-TODO: list specific areas of concerns and risks
+## Minimal Test UI
+
+Chat SDK needs an slimmed down version of Status to perform testing. 
+
+Features such as Wallet, Communities, etc, can add complexity and noise to the testing process. 
+To test the ChatSDK effectively a version of the Status application which only implements the required features for private chat are needed.
+
+The application should include the least amount of complexity while also effectively mitigating integration risks.
+
+### Functionality
+
+1. Ability to create multiple Identities/Accounts
+1. Ability to sign-in with single chosen Identity.
+1. Ability to view received messages by conversation.
+1. Newly created inbound conversations are displayed.
+1. New Outbound conversations can be created.
+1. Ability to send messages to an existing Conversation.
+1. Ability to receive messages automatically in the background.
+1. Notifications are posted when receiving new messages.
+1. Encoding/encryption errors are logged and retrievable.
+1. Missing messages in a conversation are visible to the user. 
+
+### Usability
+
+### Reliability
+
+### Performance
+
+### Supportability
+
+1. App runs on Mobile
+1. App runs on Desktop 
+
+### + (Privacy, Anonymity, Censorship-Resistance, Deployments)
+
+## Migration Preparation
+
+To complete ChatSDK integration without issues, Status needs to prepare the existing code base. 
+Focus is on creating abstractions and planning for breaking changes.
+
+The ChatSDK takes a different approach to managing conversations, and is incompatible with the existing application. 
+Preparing the code base in advance will reduce the integration time, and allow for faster feedback.
+
+ To better offer support, it would be helpful for Waku to understand Status' approach to product decisions during this migration.
+- Will Users be required to create new accounts? or Will the new Keytypes be bound to existing Identities?
+- Will Conversations be migrated? Or will users be expected to create new conversations to use new features?
+- What is the minimum amount of time users should be given to update before older versions are locked out?
+
+### Functionality
+
+1. Isolate chat internals from application so they can be replaced effectively. 
+1. Stored user level conversations are isolated/independant from the transport used.
+1. Add facade to isolate Waku dependency from existing codebase.
+
+### Usability
+1. Conversation encryption/encoding mechanism can be updated with a single line code change.
+
+### Reliability
+
+### Performance
+
+### Supportability
+
+1. Document strategy for managing existing conversations through the upgrade.
+1. Document strategy for identity binding between new and old accounts.
