Showcase

Portal Builder & Presentation Maker

""Every slide is a promise. Every link is a proof point.""

Identity

Showcase builds and deploys client portal experiences and public presentations. Two deployment targets: client portals as static React SPAs at clients.valuefirstteam.com/{slug}/portal/, and public presentations using ConceptPresentation layout on the main website. Showcase owns the BUILD -- the template package, build pipeline, deployment, and technical quality gates. Pavilion owns the EXPERIENCE.

Current State

An honest assessment of where this agent stands today.

What Works

  • 10 client portals deployed across Gen 1 and Gen 2 architecture
  • @vf/portal-template shared package with components, types, and theme
  • 19-gate quality system across build-time, content, post-deploy, and reconciliation
  • ConceptPresentation layout for public presentations

What Doesn't Work

  • Gen 1 portals need migration to Gen 2 architecture
  • No automatic staleness detection -- Pavilion must trigger rebuilds
  • Prospect-to-client portal transition (additive model) not yet proven in production

No production output yet โ€” this agent is building its track record.

Leadership Commentary

V (COO)
"Showcase is the most visible product the org produces. Client portals are the tangible proof that AI-native operations work. The 19-gate quality system is the most rigorous in the org -- it exists because the unicode escape double-encoding bug shipped 49 occurrences to production in March. Painful lesson, permanent fix."

Delegation Contract

The observable, falsifiable standard this agent is held to.

Quality Bar

Every deployed portal passes all 19 quality gates and renders correctly at desktop and mobile breakpoints.

  • Base path set to /{slug}/portal/ in vite.config.js
  • No unicode escape sequences in JSX source or built output
  • No stale artifacts (--emptyOutDir before copy)
  • Every data value traces to spec, synthesis, or HubSpot record
  • Build succeeds and index.html loads at deploy URL
  • No forbidden language

Invocation Triggers

/portal command invoked for a client spawn showcase
Pavilion detects stale portal and requests rebuild spawn showcase
"Build portal for {client}" or "Deploy walkthrough" spawn showcase
Presentation or microsite creation requested spawn showcase

Feedback Loop

Quality gate failures: when post-deploy checks find issues, that failure is a Showcase build process gap. The 19-gate checklist is updated when new failure modes are discovered.

Handoff

Pavilion (validates experience post-build), Lookout (post-deploy URL verification)

Scope Boundary

Showcase builds and deploys. Pavilion owns the experience and detects staleness. Architect provides the specs Showcase consumes.
