The First Call System is a real product with a real demo, real automations designed, real marketing assets, and a real business model — but it has not yet been launched to a single paying client. The revenue tracker is empty. The Stripe links are placeholders. The offer page is a draft.
The MRR subscription model (Core $197/mo, Pro $297/mo, Complete $497/mo) is the confirmed current model. The affiliate/setup-fee model from the original blueprint-subagency-plan.md is explicitly archived. This is resolved.
What is not resolved: several key documents still reflect the old model, there are three distinct deliverable contradictions between product documents, and the A2P registration gap creates a compliance and promise problem from Day 1 with the first real client.
What's launch-ready: Product definition, pricing, snapshot spec, automations, intake form design, marketing content, acquisition strategy, and the live demo at est8solutions.com/connect.
What's blocking launch: Stripe links not connected, founding pricing not on offer page, service agreement not updated to current pricing, A2P strategy not defined, and 7 open decisions that affect what gets built for clients.

☐ Quick Start ($997 one-time)
☐ Pro ($1,497 one-time)
☐ Complete ($1,997 one-time + $197/mo management)This is the pre-MRR affiliate model pricing. Current model is $197/$297/$497/month with 3-month minimum. Additionally, the agreement lists a "2-hour onboarding walkthrough call (recorded)" for all packages — but the current SOP says documentation-only delivery, no calls. Package.md limits the walkthrough to Pro tier only. The service agreement needs a full rewrite before any client signs anything.
| Document | Core | Pro | Complete |
|---|---|---|---|
first-call-system-pricing-v2.md (LOCKED 2026-06-22) | 0 minutes | 300 minutes | 600 minutes |
first-call-system-package.md (needs update) | 250 minutes | 500 minutes | 800 minutes |
pricing-v2.md is the locked source of truth. package.md must be updated to match or there will be billing disputes the moment a client hits overage.
client-onboarding-workflow.md Step 0 lists: "Pricing options: Quick Start $997 / Pro $1,497 / Complete $1,997 + $197/mo" — the old one-time model. Any team member using this SOP to build the offer page would publish wrong pricing.
| Document | Says |
|---|---|
first-call-system-package.md | Pro tier, item #12: "2-Hour Live Handoff Call (Screen Share)" ✅ included |
client-onboarding-workflow.md (v2.0) | "100% documentation-only delivery. No scheduled calls, no walkthroughs." |
service-agreement-template.md | "2-hour onboarding walkthrough call (recorded)" included in ALL packages |
These three documents completely contradict each other. Decision required before any client is signed.
The preview/offer-page.html shows only standard pricing ($197/$297/$497). If founding pricing strategy is still active (first 50 clients at $147/$247/$397), the page needs a section reflecting this. Currently a prospect would not know about the founding rate.
package.md lists it in Core (item #8). The snapshot deploys it to all accounts. This is consistent — review request is included in all tiers. The prior research report flagged it as a potential contradiction but it isn't one.
Management add-on is $197/mo across package.md, pricing-v2.md, and contractor-customer-acquisition-strategy.md. The prior report compared against the archived blueprint-subagency-plan.md numbers which are no longer authoritative. This is closed.
0tISlTRWnIo7djg6 firesfcs-buildout-purchased + tier tag#📞-first-call-systemTotal manual time per build: 60–90 minutes per client at current state.
Per the SOP, new clients go live on AI Elite Services' toll-free sender (+1 877-228-6009) immediately. A dedicated local number is provisioned in parallel but cannot send SMS until A2P carrier approval — typically 7–14 business days.
What this means for Client 1:
Second risk: At 10+ clients all sending automation volume from the same toll-free number, carrier volume thresholds could flag it.
Fix needed before Client 2: Define the per-client A2P registration flow. Who registers the brand/campaign for each client's local number? (~$24.50 one-time + $10/month carrier fee per campaign.) This cost should be reflected in pricing or the service agreement.
Minimum fix for Client 1: Tell them explicitly at purchase: "Your local number activates within 7–14 days. For the first two weeks, automations run from our registered business sender 877-228-6009."

Use first-call-system-pricing-v2.md as the single source of truth. Discrepancies requiring updates to package.md:
| Item | pricing-v2.md (AUTHORITATIVE) | package.md (NEEDS UPDATE) |

| Pro AI minutes | 300 minutes | 500 minutes ← wrong |
| Complete AI minutes | 600 minutes | 800 minutes ← wrong |
| Founding Core | $147/mo | Not listed |
| Founding Pro | $247/mo | Not listed |

| Overage — AI voice | $0.35/min | $0.35/min ✅ |
| Overage — messages | $0.02/message | $0.02/message ✅ |
These items cannot be resolved by documentation cleanup. Each requires a call before implementation.
Current state: package.md lists it in Core (item #8). Snapshot deploys it to everyone. This appears to be "all tiers" by default. If intentional, close this — it's already in Core. If it should be a Pro/Complete upsell, the snapshot and package.md both need updates.
package.md says yes. The onboarding SOP says no calls ever. The service agreement says all packages include it. Pick one — this is client-facing and must be consistent everywhere. If the call is included in Pro, the SOP needs a new section. If no call, remove it from package.md and rebuild the service agreement accordingly.
pricing-v2.md was locked 2026-06-22 and should win. Confirm, then update package.md. This affects what clients are told they're getting and what triggers overage billing.
pricing-v2.md defines it for first 50 clients. The offer page shows standard pricing only. Either add founding pricing to the offer page before launch, or launch at standard. Cannot leave it undefined — the page goes live one way or the other.
No documented plan for the per-client local number A2P registration. Cost: ~$24.50 one-time + $10/month per client campaign. Decision: absorb this cost (adjust pricing) or pass through (add to service agreement). Must be defined before Client 2 to avoid the shared toll-free scaling problem.
pricing-v2.md explicitly flags: "DEXTER ACTION REQUIRED: Verify exact GHL rebilling rates → Agency → Settings → Company Billing → LC Phone before launch. Enable sub-account rebilling with markup on all client sub-accounts at setup." This is a Dexter dashboard action — not a doc fix.
The service agreement is wrong on pricing, wrong on tier features, and wrong on the handoff call. Full rewrite required. Question is timing — rewrite before Client 1 touches it, or operate on handshake basis for first 1–2 clients and rebuild by Client 3? Given founding client relationships, waiting 1 client is defensible. Waiting 5 is not.
The service agreement (service-agreement-template.md) reflects the old one-time pricing model and must be rewritten from scratch using current package.md as the source of truth before any client signs it.
est8solutions.com/connect is a live demo that works. Dexter runs the exact system he's selling on his own company. This is the single most powerful sales tool in the stack and no competitor can replicate it.
All 9 pipeline stages, 5 automations, 8 message templates, and the deployment checklist are documented. A trained VA can execute a build from this document.
30 days of Facebook posts, ad scripts, referral tracks, YouTube content plan, and the acquisition strategy are written and ready to deploy.
The n8n workflow, Discord integration, and GHL tagging flow are all specified. This is not theoretical infrastructure — it's documented and wired.
At $197/month for a built CRM with automations, there is no direct competitor doing done-for-you at this price point with trade credentials. The market gap is real.
The system is not broken — it's pre-launch. Three documents need updates. One document needs a rewrite. Seven decisions need calls. That's it.
