Executive Summary

The ThrillWiki Django project has successfully completed a major architectural transformation - the Company Migration Project. This high-risk, high-impact migration replaced a single Company entity with a specialized relationship structure (Operators, PropertyOwners, Manufacturers, Designers) affecting 300+ references across the entire codebase. The project is currently in a stable, production-ready state with all core functionality operational.
