The working plan behind this site
The V1 Launch Blueprint
One small sprint, established platforms, manual routines wherever automation is not yet earned. The whole plan is three honest sentences: this must work now, this can stay manual, this should wait.
Sprint one
Build now
- Public website + waiting list into Brevo
- Grand Rounds loop: Zoom, registration, reminders
- Skool: community, first course, Stripe billing
- Secure consultation intake, sealed off from the site
- Foundation-owned accounts, documentation, handoff
Deliberately human
Keep manual
- Report delivery by personal expiring links
- Consultation triage and scheduling
- Posting the weekly recording to the classroom
- Weekly exports: contacts, members, site backup
Earned later
Defer
- Custom member portal and single sign-on
- Automation platform (n8n, Zapier)
- Custom CRM, LMS, or community software
- Clinical-reasoning software, on principle
The platform map
Two lanes that never cross. Everyday data flows through everyday tools the foundation owns. Health information lives in its own sealed corridor.
Ordinary lane · public and members
Website
WordPress or static, foundation hosting
Brevo
CRM: contacts, waiting list, email
Zoom
Weekly Grand Rounds
Skool
Community, courses, membership
Stripe
Billing inside Skool, foundation account
Secure lane · health information only
Secure intake form
HIPAA-capable provider, encrypted in transit
Encrypted vault
Restricted storage, clinical team only
Expiring links
Personal, signed, logged delivery
The client
And no one else
Case information never enters the website database, the media library, the community, or ordinary email. Try it live on the consultation intake.
Who owns what
The foundation, in every case. The developer is a guest with keys that can be taken back.
- Domain, hosting, Brevo, Zoom, Skool, and Stripe are all registered to the foundation, on foundation billing
- Credentials live in the foundation's password vault; the developer holds a removable seat, never the root
- Weekly exports: contacts, member list, full site backup
- Documentation plus a recorded admin walkthrough
Where you log in, day to day
What the first sprint buys
One fixed price covers the Build now column, end to end: live, documented, and owned by the foundation. That is the initial functionality, not the full institution, and the exact list is confirmed together before the sprint starts.
The Keep manual column costs a routine, not software. The Defer column belongs to later sprints, each scoped and authorized on its own when the foundation is ready.
Expect about three weeks: foundations first, then the weekly loop and membership, then the secure lane and the handoff walkthrough.
The point
Everything in the first column is working on this demo site right now. Everything in the second column is a documented routine, not missing software. Everything in the third column is waiting its turn on purpose.
Start small, build clean, and hand the keys to the institution that owns them.
