// PROPOSAL OF SOVEREIGNTY
Sovereign Intelligence Base + Client Portal MVP
Prepared for Mt. Baker Remodeling
Digital Drag in Home Remodeling
Manual coordination of client communications, quoting, and project updates is consuming 15+ hours per week. All client data currently flows through consumer cloud services with zero sovereignty controls — every quote, email, and document is data-exfiltrated by default.
15 hrs/week manual coordination
100% PII on Google Cloud — zero sovereignty
// PAIN POINTS
- 0115+ hrs/week lost to manual quote generation and follow-up
- 02100% of client PII on third-party cloud infrastructure
- 03No automated intake — every lead requires a phone call
- 04Project updates are reactive, not proactive — clients call you
- 05No audit trail for communications or decisions
The Sovereignty Stack
A dedicated local intelligence node running autonomous agents for communication, quoting, and project management. Zero PII leakage. Every byte stays on hardware you own. The client portal MVP gives homeowners a self-service interface while George retains full control.
Sovereign Node
Dedicated Mac Mini running Ollama for local LLM inference — no cloud dependency for sensitive data.
Autonomous Agent
Xen agent handles intake, follow-ups, quote drafting, and project updates — human-gated writes only.
Client Portal MVP
Self-service web portal for homeowners to request quotes, track projects, and communicate — built in Antigravity.
Zero Trust Perimeter
Sophos ZTNA + Defender securing all access vectors. Every connection authenticated, every action logged.
