## What it is for
Parameters logged weekly. Livestock is the customer's asset, not yours.

The buyer is an owner or operator of a aquarium & aquatic systems business who
is currently running the work across a calendar, a phone, a notebook and a
separate invoicing tool. xAQUARIUMx replaces that with one record per customer
and one record per job, carried from intake through pricing, dispatch, proof
of work, invoice and settlement.

## Category
Pet & Animal — The customer is not the patient. Every record is medical-adjacent and every
visit is emotional.

## What the platform assesses
Water-test photos and parameter history predict the drift that precedes an
algae bloom or a livestock loss.

The assessment never sets prices. Quantities come from what was measured or
counted; rates come from the operator's own book. That is what makes two
people pricing the same job land on the same number.

## How work is priced
monthly service by system volume and type, livestock and consumables billed
separately

## Records the workspace keeps
- System profile: volume, type, filtration, lighting, livestock list
- Parameter log per visit with trend history
- Livestock inventory with acquisition dates
- Consumables and media replacement schedule
- Equipment failure and replacement record

## Workflows it ships with
- System audit → service plan → weekly or biweekly visits
- Parameter capture with automatic trend alerting
- Livestock sourcing and quarantine protocol
- Equipment replacement quoted from the system record

## Modules
- CRM (Contacts, Companies, Deals)

- Multi-branch and own-domain deployments are quoted per market.

There is no published per-seat subscription tier for this vertical. Any figure
quoted elsewhere as a xSERVICESx monthly price is not ours. Ask.

## Frequently asked
### Is xAQUARIUMx a separate product from the Biz Dev App?
No. xAQUARIUMx is the aquarium & aquatic systems configuration of the Biz Dev
App — the same platform, the same ledger, the same support, scaffolded with
the 15 modules and 5 record types this trade actually uses. If the business
later adds a second line of work, it does not mean a second subscription; it
means another vertical switched on in the same workspace.

### How does xAQUARIUMx price a job?
On monthly service by system volume and type, livestock and consumables billed
separately. The basis lives in the workspace rather than in an estimator's
head, so the same job quoted by two people produces the same number. Your own
rates, your own catalogue — the platform supplies the structure and the
arithmetic, never the prices.

### What does it connect to that we already use?
Livestock and dry-goods suppliers, Controller APIs, Stripe recurring,
QuickBooks are wired first, because those are what a aquarium & aquatic
systems business is usually already running. Anything else goes through the
xCONNECTx public API catalogue rather than a custom build.

### What happens to the data we already have?
It comes in. The archive import pipeline takes historical customers, jobs and
invoices and lands them as real records — searchable, reportable, attached to
the right customer — rather than as a folder of PDFs nobody opens. The point
of moving is to keep the last five years, not to start over.

## Built on Biz Dev App
xAQUARIUMx is one of 74 service verticals on the Biz Dev App — the operating
system for the AI economy. The leading and trailing x are platform brackets:
Cross-Connect Protocol in, Cross-Connect Protocol out. Every vertical shares
one identity, one ledger (XODIAK) and one settlement rail, so a business that
runs two lines of work runs them in one workspace rather than two
subscriptions.
