Pilot-to-Market — sprint 1 operating view

Honest status across the production stack, named blockers, the 30-day plan, and the founder decision queue. Pulled from the same data layer the rest of the dashboard renders.

Launch status
What is operational, what is demo-ready, what still needs setup.
Read-only
  • Live app deployed
    Vercel-hosted Next.js dashboard with Supabase Auth, RLS, and edge function scaffolding.
    Operational
  • Supabase persistence
    Sign in to a firm to enable live persistence. Demo dataset is in use right now.
    Demo-ready
  • PDF generation
    Deterministic document builder + browser renderer. Issued PDF re-renders byte-for-byte from snapshot_manifest.
    Operational
  • Client portal
    Token-gated review, comments, acks, and PDF download. RLS-isolated per portal link.
    Operational
  • Remote evidence upload
    Token-gated remote sessions with structured evidence + observation drafts handed to the report builder.
    Operational
  • Report lifecycle & revision history
    Draft → engineer review → revisions → approved → issued, with audit-grade revision history. PE-only gate on approve/issue.
    Operational
  • Stripe billing (live)
    Webhook + price IDs exist; verify live keys are deployed to Vercel and Supabase secrets, and run a real $1 charge before opening sales.
    Needs setup
  • Tracked outbound email
    Report-delivery logging is wired, but the production email provider (Resend / Postmark / SES) is not yet enabled.
    Needs setup
  • VAPI / voice agent
    Voice capture is mocked in code. Production VAPI_API_KEY + VAPI_ASSISTANT_ID + verified production phone number are not yet provisioned.
    Needs setup
  • White-label readiness
    Studio + Agency Stripe payment links are live in env; settings page wires the activation.
    Demo-ready
  • Internal notifications
    Inbox surfaces portal events, comment threads, and report-lifecycle transitions.
    Operational
  • Pilot invite + onboarding flow
    Token-gated invites, firm onboarding checklist, and demo reset for pre-meeting wipes.
    Operational
  • Pilot onboarding activation checklist
    12-step activation checklist taking a firm from signup to inviting a paying client — persisted state + local-only walkthrough steps.
    Operational
  • Billing activation surface
    $199/seat + $25/AI-report pricing + Stripe readiness snapshot. Non-destructive — no live charges trigger from the UI.
    Demo-ready
Pilot blockers & risks
The work between “demo-ready” and “take a paying pilot to production.”
3 critical
  • Tracked outbound email provider not enabled
    Resend / Postmark / SES env vars unset. Report-delivery logs persist, but emails do not actually send.
    critical
    Owner: FounderUnblock: Pick a provider, configure API key, point /api/report-deliveries at it.
  • Stripe live billing not fully verified
    Webhook + price IDs exist; a real charge has not been run end-to-end on the production keys.
    critical
    Owner: FounderUnblock: Deploy live STRIPE_SECRET_KEY to Vercel + Supabase secrets, run one $1 metered test, confirm invoice line item.
  • VAPI production phone + agent not verified
    Voice capture is mocked. Production VAPI_API_KEY + VAPI_ASSISTANT_ID and a verified phone number are not yet set.
    important
    Owner: FounderUnblock: Provision a VAPI workspace, claim a phone number, wire the SDK in Field Capture.
  • PE review policy needs legal review
    Code enforces licensed_engineer / firm_admin / owner roles, but the engineer-of-record disclosure language is not legally reviewed.
    important
    Owner: Founder + counselUnblock: 30-minute counsel review of the PDF signature block + portal acknowledgement copy.
  • Custom domain + branded email setup
    fccis-pilot-live.vercel.app is the canonical host. No branded apex domain or SPF/DKIM for transactional email yet.
    important
    Owner: FounderUnblock: Register the apex domain, set DNS, then add SPF + DKIM for the chosen email provider.
  • First 3 pilot firms to recruit
    Personas defined below. Zero pilots signed. The single biggest gating item before opening paid sales.
    critical
    Owner: FounderUnblock: Send 5 intros this week from the persona pipeline; land 2 signed pilots in week 2.

30-day market plan

Week-by-week. FL beachhead first, GA/TX in week 4.

Week 1
Lock pilot pitch & onboarding rails
  • Send 5 cold/warm intros to FL principal engineers and forensic structural firm owners (use the persona pipeline below).
  • Record a 4-minute Loom walkthrough off the live app — capture, remote inspection, draft, engineer review, portal.
  • Confirm Stripe live keys are deployed to Vercel + Supabase edge function secrets; run one $1 test charge end-to-end.
  • Stand up support inbox (support@fccis…) and route to a real human; do not promise SLAs you cannot keep.
Week 2
Sign first 2 pilots, harden invite flow
  • Two pilot calls per day, capped at 30 minutes. Land 2 signed pilots before opening the gate wider.
  • Verify pilot invite link → onboarding checklist round-trip on the live host (cold browser, fresh email).
  • Wire tracked outbound email (Resend or Postmark) and turn on report-delivery audit logging in production.
  • Cut a partner-ready one-pager pinned to /dashboard/demo-mode — no marketing fluff, just the operating story.
Week 3
Run first real inspections through the stack
  • Shadow each pilot firm through their first three reports. Pair Field Capture + Remote Inspection in the same project.
  • Capture every blocker in /dashboard/notifications — do not let bug reports leak to text messages.
  • Verify PE review enforcement: only the licensed_engineer/firm_admin/owner roles can approve or issue.
  • Document FL/GA/TX-specific code reference packs so the synthesis pipeline cites the correct authority.
Week 4
Convert pilots to paid, open second cohort
  • Hold a 1-hour pilot review with each firm. Walk reports issued, hours saved, and the next 30 days.
  • Turn on metered billing for ai_report_generated events; confirm Stripe invoices line-item correctly.
  • Recruit 3 more firms from the persona pipeline; convert the strongest pilot to a paid plan first.
  • Schedule a legal review of the PE-review policy and the engineer-of-record disclosure language.
Pilot firm pipeline — personas, not fake logos
Concrete personas + next actions. Replace with real firm names as they sign.
Sprint 1 outbound
  • Principal Engineer (forensic + diagnostic)
    FL · GA · TX
    Persona
    Bills site time, loses margin on report production. FCCIS recovers the 4:1 paperwork drag.
    Next:Cold intro via FL/GA/TX SE referral network. Lead with a 4-minute Loom + Florida Building Code synthesis sample.
  • Forensic Structural Firm Owner
    FL · TX gulf coast
    Persona
    Wants more engineer-hours per inspector. Cares about defensible engineer-of-record audit trail.
    Next:Offer a 30-day paid pilot with a named PE on staff. Lock white-label upsell as the second meeting agenda.
  • Building Envelope Consultant
    FL panhandle · GA coastal
    Persona
    Reports are envelope-heavy: EIFS delamination, parapet flashing, fenestration. Synthesis pipeline already covers these.
    Next:Run a side-by-side: their existing report vs. an FCCIS draft from the same observations. Lead with cycle time.
  • Windstorm / Wind Mitigation Inspector
    FL coastal counties
    Persona
    High-volume inspections with templated outputs — perfect for capture + synthesize + PE-review at scale.
    Next:Pitch the per-report unit price model. Demo Field Capture on a phone for the on-roof workflow.
  • Municipality / Owner Representative
    FL · GA county engineering offices
    Persona
    Owner reps coordinate inspections without writing reports — they value the client portal and delivery log.
    Next:Show the client portal + delivery audit trail in /dashboard/demo-mode. Position FCCIS as the firm-side counterpart.
