The Franchise Pro Build Plan

This is the written plan for The Franchise Pro Build: everything The Process builds and runs for The Franchise Pro, in the order it happens, with the honest status of every piece. The Franchise Pro brings the franchise expertise, the brand, and the relationships. Business Hub OS brings the system those relationships live in: the audit, the pages, the quiz funnel, the agent, the CRM, and the follow-up that never depends on anyone's memory.

How to read this page: each step carries a status chip. Live means built and working today, with the link attached where there is one. Done means the step is complete. In build means underway now. Next means sequenced and waiting its turn. Nothing on this page is listed as live unless it is.

The build, step by step

Step 01 · The Audit

Company review and market map, with the evidence attached

Live

Two research pieces anchor the Build. The market map (completed October 1, 2026) covers who buys franchise buyer leads, what qualification is worth in this market, the competitors, and the FTC compliance lines that govern every word the brand publishes. The company review audits the live presence itself: 11 findings, each with its evidence, and a fix-first list.

Step 02 · The Call

The working sessions

Done

Strategy sessions with Mike Raiche run from May 2026 through October 2026, including the working sessions of October 8 and 9 that set this Build's sequence: what ships first, what waits, and which decisions sit with whom. The decisions live in the project record, and this plan is their published form.

Step 03 · The Proposal

This plan, published as its own page

You are reading it

An internal draft proposal package was prepared on October 2, 2026. This page supersedes it as the public plan of record for the Build: same road, honest statuses, nothing promised that is not already true or clearly marked as next.

Step 04 · The Brand & the Kit

Navy, gold, and Fran

In build

The identity is live and applied everywhere: navy #0C184A and gold #CB991E on cream, Montserrat and Inter with Playfair Display italics, the logo set, and Fran's verified character art. What remains is the kit itself: one document holding the tokens, the logo files, the art, and the voice and compliance rules, so every future piece starts from the kit instead of from sampling the website.

Step 05 · The Website

One front door

Live

The canonical site is live at thefranchisepro.com, and the rebuilt site has been live in preview since October 8, 2026. The sequenced move inside this step is the one-front-door decision from the audit: properly upgrade the canonical build's framework dependency, or cut the domain to the rebuild. Until that call lands, both stay up and the domain keeps the original.

Step 06 · The Quiz

The Franchise Matchmaker

Live

The 18-card matchmaker quiz is live on the homepage: sample question above the fold, one slide per question, capital bands as the first qualifier, scoring behind it. Two sequenced upgrades ride this step: the completed contact gate (name, phone, email, TCPA written consent, already built in the rebuild) goes live on the domain, and the post-quiz path (Step 08's territory) gets built behind it.

Step 07 · The AI Agent

Fran, the matchmaker

In build
Fran, The Franchise Pro matchmaker

Fran's widget rides the live quiz today, and her approved training is drafted: her role, her qualification flow, and her hard rules (she never discusses earnings or returns, never gives advice, always discloses she is an AI, never touches the FDD). Her status is Launching soon, verified in a live browser session on October 16, 2026: the orb opens a panel reading “Coming soon — Ask Fran is launching shortly,” and its Chat and Voice buttons are not functional, so she does not answer yet. This step's remaining work is connecting her properly: give her a proper agent record with approved knowledge and the brand's colors, so she can be trained and measured like every other agent in the network.

Step 08 · The CRM

The Franchise Pro Mission Control

Live

The Franchise Pro's CRM subaccounts were provisioned on October 9, 2026 (the business subaccount and Mike's personal subaccount), with no AI or outbound switched on. On top of that base, this step builds Mike's post-quiz experience (authored October 12, 2026): instant results, the consultant call to action, the confirmation sequence, and the nurture drip, on Zuops, plus the end-to-end proof that a quiz lead lands as a CRM record.

Step 09 · The Workspace

One command center for the operation

In build

The branded content workspace was built on October 2, 2026: the working app with its social tab, agent and brain plumbing, and approval queue. Its public address (workspace.thefranchisepro.com) currently fails to connect; repairing that address, or retiring it for the working default, is this step's open item.

Step 10 · Content & Social

Content made inside the system

In build

The first assets exist: a 10-second promo spot in the WTF format and four launch images in social formats, all produced from the brand kit and the approved facts. The step completes when the brand's own profiles exist (LinkedIn and Facebook first), the placeholder footer links are replaced with real ones, and the accounts connect to the social engine, so finished pieces publish from one compose instead of living in a folder.

Step 11 · The Unified Inbox

Every reply, in one place

Next

Once the channels above are connected (quiz leads in the CRM, socials publishing, Fran answering), every reply lands in one unified inbox: the AI drafts, the team approves, and nothing waits unseen in a platform nobody checked. This is the step the whole Build points at, and it is sequenced last on purpose.

Also part of the Build

The research library

Live

The market map, the two-funnel lead playbook, the scoring model, and the compliance research sit underneath every step above. They are the reason the quiz asks what it asks and Fran says what she says.

The promo spot

Live

A 10-second vertical promo in the WTF format ("I found my franchise in sixty seconds flat") with karaoke captions and the navy-and-gold end card, produced at zero ad spend. It plays on The Franchise Pro Build page.

The post-quiz experience spec

In build

Mike Raiche's own build instructions for everything after the quiz (October 12, 2026): instant results, the consultant call to action, two-layer hand-off, confirmation emails, and the nurture drip, with Fran as the bridge in every message. Build work for Step 08.

What happens next

  1. The one-front-door decision (audit fix 1): upgrade the canonical build properly, or cut the domain to the rebuild.
  2. The completed quiz gate goes live (audit fix 2), with Mike's approval on the consent copy.
  3. The post-quiz build starts on Zuops (audit fixes 3 and 4), ending with a verified test lead in the CRM.
  4. Fran gets verified and provisioned (audit fix 5), and the workspace address gets fixed (fix 6), the socials claimed (fix 7), and the kit written (fix 8) in the same pass.
