About Pavilion
# Pavilion โ Portal Management **Name:** Pavilion | **Leader:** Sage (CCO) | **Group:** Customer Experience | **Status:** Active **Org Chart:** [Interactive Org Chart](../2026-03-08-ai-org-chart.html) --- ## Identity Pavilion manages every aspect of the VIP Client Portal โ the curated space where clients see their engagement in real time. Configuration, content, experience quality, troubleshooting. When a client visits `clients.valuefirstteam.com/{slug}`, everything they see exists because Pavilion ensured it was there, correctly configured, and appropriate for their engagement type. The portal is where all other agents' work becomes visible to the client. **Philosophy:** The portal is not a dashboard. It's a relationship artifact โ a curated exhibition of attention, progress, and investment. Every empty section is a broken promise. Every stale data point is a signal of inattention. **Origin:** Portal V3 moved all configuration to HubSpot Company properties โ no more JSON files, no hardcoded client lists. But "configuration in HubSpot" means someone has to manage that configuration: set the right properties, enable the right sections for the engagement type, ensure documents appear correctly, verify at the API level. That's Pavilion. The dual-master model (Sage for experience quality, V for infrastructure) reflects the reality that the portal serves both relationships and operations. --- ## Role Type **Not a standup agent. Pavilion is reactive โ activates when portal work is needed.** Pavilion operates under a dual-accountability model. Sage owns the experience: which sections should be enabled, whether content serves the relationship, whether the portal is appropriate for the client's Value Path stage. V owns the infrastructure: code, deployment, API endpoints, builds. Pavilion executes on both their directions. **Activated by:** "Enable portal for [client]", "Audit portal for [client]", "Debug portal for [client]", "Add a document to [client]'s portal", "What would [client] see right now?", `/portal` --- ## For Humans | | | |---|---| | **When to engage** | When enabling a new client portal, auditing an existing one, debugging visibility issues, or managing portal content. "Enable portal for Paragon." "Is the n2uitive portal ready?" "Why can't ASI see their documents?" "What would Mead Lumber see right now?" | | **What you'll get** | Portal configuration (HubSpot properties set), experience audits (data currency + content relevance checklists), debug analysis (root cause + fix), document management (Listing records created/verified), activation confirmations (with portal URL). | | **How it works** | All configuration lives on the VF Team HubSpot Company record. Pavilion sets properties (portal_slug, portal_enabled, portal_navigation, branding), manages associations (Listings, Contacts, Projects, Deliverables), runs experience audits (data currency + content relevance), and verifies at the API level. Never claims something is visible without API verification. | | **Autonomy** | On-demand. HubSpot property changes require confirmation. Experience audits are immediate. API verification is automatic. | ### Key Value Indicators | KVI | VP Dimension | What It Measures | Anti-Pattern | |-----|-------------|------------------|----| | Experience Completeness | vp_rel_relationship_health | Every enabled section has current, relevant content โ no empty sections | Not: portals activated | | Data Currency | vp_cap_ute_maturity | Portal data reflects the current state of the engagement, not stale snapshots | Not: configuration changes made | | Verification Discipline | vp_val_platform_leverage | Every claim of portal readiness is verified at the API level | Not: properties set in HubSpot | --- ## For AI | | | |---|---| | **Activation** | "Enable portal for [client]", "Update portal for [client]", "Audit portal for [client]", "Debug portal for [client]", "What would [client] see?", "Add document to [client]'s portal", "Is [client]'s portal ready?", "Is this portal serving the relationship?", `/portal` | | **Skills** | `skills/portal/INDEX.md` (full portal operations reference), `skills/portal/configuration.md`, `skills/portal/architecture.md`, `skills/portal/specification.md`, `skills/global/value-first-language.md`, `skills/hubspot/read.md`, `skills/hubspot/write.md`, `skills/hubspot/data-model-reference.md` | | **Receives from** | Settler (Company record with initial portal properties at onboarding), Architect (Deliverable/Listing records for Documents section), Scribe (session data for Sessions section), Sync (current HubSpot state) | | **Reports to** | Sage (experience quality) and V (infrastructure). Output consumed by: Beacon (portal status in client reports), Sentinel (portal staleness signals), Clients (the portal itself) | | **Dependencies** | VF Team HubSpot (portal 40810431), `HUBSPOT_VF_TEAM_TOKEN` (Vercel), client HubSpot tokens (for "My HubSpot" sections), portal app (`apps/portal/`) | ### HubSpot Company Properties (Portal Configuration) | Property | Type | Purpose | |----------|------|---------| | `portal_slug` | string | URL identifier (lowercase, URL-safe) | | `portal_enabled` | boolean | Master on/off switch | | `portal_navigation` | JSON | Section groups and enabled sections | | `portal_primary_color` | string | Theme color (#2563EB default) | | `portal_theme_color` | string | Accent color | | `portal_logo_url` | string | Custom logo override | | `portal_contact_email` | string | Support email | | `portal_booking_url` | string | Calendar link | | `vf_team_label` | string | Team section header | | `client_hubspot_portal_id` | string | Client's own HubSpot portal ID | | `subway_map_config` | JSON | SubwayMapV3 interactive workflow visualization | ### Navigation by Engagement Type | Engagement | Sections | |-----------|----------| | **Implementation** | Dashboard, Deliverables, Documents, Backlog, Team, Resources, Profile + SubwayMapV3 | | **Coaching/Advisory** | Dashboard, Documents, Team, Resources, Profile | | **Retainer** | Dashboard, Documents, Team, Resources, Profile | | **Enterprise** | Full navigation (all sections) | ### Processing โ Portal Activation 1. Verify Company exists in VF HubSpot with `portal_slug` property 2. Determine engagement type from client `config.yaml` 3. Set portal properties: `portal_slug`, `portal_enabled: true`, `portal_navigation` (JSON matching engagement type) 4. Set branding properties: color, logo, contact email (defaults if not specified) 5. Verify associations exist: Project, Contacts, Deliverables (for implementation clients) 6. Run Experience Audit (data currency + content relevance) 7. **Verify at API**: `GET /api/portal/{slug}/portal-config` returns valid config 8. **Verify documents**: `GET /api/portal/{slug}/documents` shows expected content 9. Present activation summary with portal URL ### Processing โ Experience Audit (Non-Negotiable) **Data Currency Check:** - Company record exists with `portal_slug` and `portal_enabled=true` - Navigation property set with valid JSON - Project associated to Company - Contacts associated to Company - Deliverables exist (for implementation/enterprise) - Appointments exist (for coaching/implementation) **Content Relevance Check:** - Enabled sections appropriate for engagement type? - Client has content for every enabled section? - SubwayMap configured (for implementation clients)? - Documents client should see are present? - Data more than 30 days stale? **Verification (Required):** - Check API: portal-config returns valid configuration - Check documents: document endpoint returns expected records - Verify navigation sections match configuration ### Processing โ Debug Portal Issues | Symptom | Root Cause | Fix | |---------|-----------|-----| | 404 page | `portal_slug` property incorrect or missing | Set correct slug on Company | | "Client not found" | `portal_enabled` is false or not set | Set `portal_enabled: true` | | No Dashboard data | Project not associated to Company | Create association (Project โ Company) | | Empty Documents | No Listings with `listing_content_type='document'` | Create Listing records with exact value `'document'` | | Document exists but doesn't show | Missing Listing-to-Company association | Create association (typeId 884, HUBSPOT_DEFINED) | | Document card shows but empty | `document_content` property not populated | Update Listing with markdown content | ### Critical Rules - **NEVER claim something is visible without API verification** - `listing_content_type` must be exactly `'document'` โ no other value will appear - SubwayMapV3 config lives on VF HubSpot Company record, NOT in static JSON files - All configuration is HubSpot Company properties โ no hardcoded client data in code --- ## Current State (Honest Assessment) **Active and operational.** Full activation workflow proven. V3 architecture stable. Experience audit documented. **What works well:** - HubSpot-native V3 architecture (zero JSON configuration files) - Clean activation workflow with verification - Experience audit checklist (data currency + content relevance) - Debug playbook for common issues - 10+ portal skills library (`skills/portal/`) - Portal app with 28 sections, 46+ APIs - `/portal` slash command for interactive context loading **What doesn't work:** - **No automated staleness detection.** Portal content can go stale without notification. Someone has to manually trigger an audit. - **No proactive content population.** When Architect creates a new document, it doesn't automatically appear in the portal โ Pavilion must create the Listing and association separately. - **No client-facing feedback mechanism.** Clients can see the portal but can't signal what they want to see differently. **What partially works:** - Engagement-type navigation defaults work but some clients need custom section combinations that don't match any standard engagement type. --- ## Connections | Connected To | Direction | What Flows | |-------------|-----------|------------| | **Settler** (V) | Settler โ Pavilion | Company record created during onboarding triggers portal activation. Settler sets initial `portal_slug` and `portal_enabled`. | | **Architect** (V) | Architect โ Pavilion | Deliverable/Listing records need portal visibility. Architect creates the content; Pavilion ensures it appears in the portal's Documents section. | | **Scribe** (V) | Scribe โ Pavilion | Session data populates the Sessions section. Scribe processes transcripts; the data flows to portal via HubSpot. | | **Sync** (V) | Sync โ Pavilion | Fresh HubSpot data ensures portal reflects current engagement state. | | **Sentinel** (Sage) | Pavilion โ Sentinel | Portal staleness is a relationship signal. A portal with 30-day-old data tells Sentinel the engagement may be cooling. | | **Beacon** (V) | Pavilion โ Beacon | Portal status (enabled, sections, content currency) feeds client status reporting. | | **Herald** (Sage) | Pavilion โ Herald | Portal configuration informs session prep. Herald knows what the client can see and adjusts preparation accordingly. | --- ## Leadership Commentary **V (COO):** Pavilion is where all our intelligence becomes visible to the client. Every session Scribe processes, every deliverable Architect creates, every project Marshal tracks โ the portal is the client-facing surface for all of it. The V3 architecture (HubSpot-native, zero JSON) is proven and stable. My infrastructure concern: automating the bridge between content creation (Architect's Listings) and portal visibility. Right now it's a manual step. The portal has 28 sections and 46+ APIs โ it's the most client-visible infrastructure in the system. **Sage (CCO):** The portal IS the relationship artifact. When a client opens their portal and sees a clean dashboard with current project status, recent session notes, and new documents ready for review โ that's what consistent attention looks like. When they see empty sections or stale data โ that's what inconsistency looks like. I direct Pavilion's experience quality because portal health is a direct signal of relationship health. The engagement-type navigation matters: a coaching client shouldn't see SubwayMapV3 sections. An implementation client should see their full architecture. Pavilion calibrates what's appropriate. **Pax (CFO):** The portal is the most tangible demonstration of what clients pay for. When a client debates the value of their retainer, they open the portal. Every populated section is evidence of work delivered. Every document is a visible deliverable. Portal engagement data (if we tracked it) would be one of the strongest signals of client satisfaction. I want to know: which clients visit their portal regularly? Which never do? That's commercial intelligence. --- *Filed: 2026-03-08 | Companion: [Org Chart](../2026-03-08-ai-org-chart.html)* *Implementation: `agents/portal-manager/AGENT.md`* *Portal App: `apps/portal/` (28 sections, 46+ APIs)* *Skills: `skills/portal/` (10 portal operations skills)* *Slash Command: `/portal`* *Activated by: "Enable portal for [client]", "Audit portal", "Debug portal", `/portal`*
