BUSINESS THESIS

Build a property-performance company, not a co-hosting job.

The founder wins and protects owner relationships while the operating system carries routine guest, supplier and property workflows.

GOVERNANCE

Decision Register

FOUNDATION

Project Foundation

Purpose

Create a professionally governed, multi-channel short-stay property management company that manages the complexity of guest accommodation while protecting owner assets and improving sustainable property performance.

Owner promise

We manage the daily complexity of short-stay accommodation while protecting your property, strengthening the guest experience and helping you achieve sustainable rental performance.

Strategic end state

A recurring-revenue enterprise with documented systems, strong owner relationships, local supplier networks, technology-enabled operations and the capacity to function without the founder personally performing every routine task.

Ideal owner

Time-poor, interstate or overseas owners; owners of holiday or inherited homes; underperforming self-hosts; and investors who value professional management, transparent reporting and proactive property care.

Non-negotiable principles

Quality before property countNo guaranteed owner returnsNo casual handling of owner moneyNo dependence on one platformNo legally uncertain propertiesEvery process must be delegable
PRODUCTION ARCHITECTURE

Cloud Control Plane

Release 4

Identity & Roles

Production target: authenticated access with Founder/Admin, Operations, Finance/Reporting and Read-only roles. Sensitive actions must be server-authorised, not merely hidden in the browser.

D1 Data Model

Central records for owners, properties, compliance items, suppliers, tasks, statements and governed decisions. Browser localStorage remains a migration source only.

Audit & Backups

Every material record change should carry timestamps and actor identity. Scheduled database backups and controlled exports become mandatory before live portfolio operation.

Production Migration Gate

Architecture rule: do not place identity documents, payment-card data, passwords, trust-account credentials or other high-risk secrets into the static/browser layer. Release 4 defines the production boundary; the server-side Worker/D1 deployment should be activated only after Cloudflare resources and access controls are configured.
