Collins Builder Brief
Read this first. It is the smallest useful map of what St. Pierre is building, what Collins owns, what Akash keeps, and where to click when a question appears.
Executive summary
- St. Pierre sells booked inspections to foundation and waterproofing contractors.
- Akash owns offer, sales, money calls, and final trust judgment.
- Collins owns the systems layer: scorecards, agents, workflows, QA, docs, and handoffs.
- The job is to remove Akash from the how, not create more things for him to manage.
The rule
If the work does not create a reusable system, a visible scorecard, a cleaner handoff, or first-cash movement, cut it or park it.
Understand the mission and the split: Akash sells; Collins builds the operating layer.
Use the builder board for active work. Do not turn this brief into a second task list.
Only open the SOW for the lane you are working on now.
Daily update = what moved, what is blocked, who owns next, what should stop.

The nine scorecards Collins is building toward
Current state vs target state
| Lane | Now | Target | First useful output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static | Direction exists; production depends on Akash taste. | Weekly batch can ship from standards and examples. | 10 approved static concepts with hook labels. |
| Motion | Conceptual lane, not a repeatable template set. | Motion variants come from the same idea bank as statics. | 3 reusable motion templates with export rules. |
| Carousel | Role is clear; workflow is not formalized. | One idea becomes a clean hook -> proof -> CTA sequence. | Carousel structure and 3 examples. |
| YAP | Akash has raw thinking; outputs are manual. | One recording creates clips, hooks, captions, and briefs. | Transcript-to-output checklist. |
| Onboarding | Path is defined but still owner-dependent. | Paid client reaches launch prep without Akash checklist chase. | Missing-info tracker and test client run. |
| Fulfillment | Launch checks are known but not packaged. | Each client has campaign, creative, tracking, and next action visible. | 24/48/72h QA loop. |
| Finance | Runway pressure is visible; rhythm is not simple enough. | Cash and payment risk surface before emergency. | Weekly finance view. |
| Reporting | Scorecard concept exists; client proof needs structure. | Reports show proof, risk, and next actions without manual assembly. | Red/yellow/green report template. |
| Scorecard | Cockpit exists; huddle view needs sharper owner/target lanes. | Daily huddle reviews nine lanes, not a task dump. | One-page huddle scorecard. |
What St. Pierre is becoming
- AI agents do repeatable execution: drafts, data pulls, checks, routing, scoring, and reporting.
- Builders manage agents: prompts, workflows, data joins, QA, rollback, dashboards, and docs.
- Humans own trust: sales calls, client recovery, expectation resets, money decisions, and final judgment.
- The company is managed by scorecard. Green numbers mean humans stay out of execution. Red numbers mean the owner improves the system that produced the miss.
The build order
| Phase | Builder output | Open when needed |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Scorecard + owners, project board, access check, tool gap map. | Builder board |
| Phase 1 - sales proof | Custom audit engine that turns contractor context into useful proof assets. | Custom Audit Engine SOW |
| Phase 1 - delivery | Client onboarding automation from cash collected to launch prep. | Onboarding Automation SOW |
| Phase 2 | Outbound packets and destination tests after the first system works. | 6-week Gantt |
| Phase 3 | No-founder production, reporting loops, and media-buying support. | Creative Engine SOW |
Review gates and safety rules
| Gate | Owner | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Sales relationship | Akash | AI can prep. Akash owns calls, close, and final send as Akash. |
| Claims and public proof | Akash | No unsupported claim ships. Early creative needs taste/claim review. |
| Live client go-live | Akash + builder | Build against test data first. Real clients go live only after review. |
| Money, account access, permissions | Akash | Do not change money, credentials, billing, or permissions without explicit approval. |
| Reversible system work | Builder | Can move when logged, tested, reversible, and visible on the scorecard. |
