Working draft 0.2

Master view · structure, handoffs, and operating detail

One map above the work. One playbook inside every station.

Start with the complete customer journey. Select any lifecycle station or cross-system rail to see its purpose, owner, inputs, outputs, fields, boundaries, and unresolved decisions.

Current pilot and target build

Both belong in the manual. They are intentionally not presented as the same operating state.

Current pilot

Stripe + assisted setup

Live now: public site, inbound role-play demo, manual Google Voice summary and follow-up, and Stripe checkout. Customer-one forwarding is not yet proven.

Target automation

QR callback + resumable self-setup

Designed next: callback form, automated result text, one-touch identity, public-data enrichment, configuration preview, $199 Annual Plan paid today, forwarding test, and lifecycle automation.

What the customer experiences

  • Page path: watches the open page change from “calling” to the completed result.
  • Direct-call path: hears “Would you like me to text you exactly what the owner would receive?”
  • Receives the result and “Activate my seven nights” link by text.

What Night Answer does

  • Sends the first text through Twilio from the same demo number used for the callback.
  • Uses one opaque, expiring token across the page and SMS link.
  • Sends one resume reminder at 10:00 a.m. local on the next business day if untouched, then stops.

Operating boundaries

  • No human salesperson in the default economics.
  • No open-ended outbound sales agent in the first release.
  • The link contains an opaque identifier, not business or personal information in the URL.

Technology by job

Current pilot tools and proposed automation remain visibly separated.

Current

Website and checkout

Cloudflare-hosted Night Answer site with the current Stripe annual checkout and billing portal.

Current

Voice and follow-up

Vapi inbound demo at 813-412-5354. Manual follow-up from Google Voice at 813-324-5250.

Target

Experience and identity

Next.js/React for the callback and setup funnel. One-touch identity provider remains open.

Target

Automated phone and text

Vapi for calls. A Twilio-owned number and Messaging API for callbacks, portability, and result texts.

Target

Research and configuration

Google Places, an official-site reader, and a low-cost LLM feeding a versioned business record.

Target

Commercial automation

Stripe events become the source of billing and entitlement state inside the customer journey.

Vendor open

Application data

Postgres-class system of record for identity, demos, configurations, calls, and lifecycle events.

Vendor open

Workflow and measurement

Server-side orchestration for callbacks, enrichment, reminders, provisioning, retries, and breakpoint analytics.

Authority edge

These statements remain visibly separated so a working draft cannot silently become an approved operating decision.

Confirmed commercial model

Annual Plan only

$199 paid today. The first seven days are free. The buying screen states the offer without defending it; entitlement arithmetic remains internal.

Held in this draft

Experience first

Mailer QR to callback page, immediate proof, resumable text link, and minimal confirmation before payment.

Open build decisions

Fill the implementation holes

Exact result copy, identity vendor, match confidence, production voices, forwarding recovery, and operating escalation.

Research shelf

Primary documentation behind the current system recommendations.
