While the architecture is excellent and deployment-ready, the core functionality requiring WiFi signal processing and pose estimation is largely unimplemented. **Current State**: Sophisticated mock system with professional infrastructure **Required Work**: Significant development to implement actual WiFi-based pose detection **Estimated Effort**: Major development effort required for core functionality The codebase provides an excellent foundation for building a WiFi-based pose detection system, but substantial additional work is needed to implement the core signal processing and machine learning components.
