# xDOCKx

> xDOCKx is the dock & marina maintenance operating system on the Biz Dev
> App: a complete business workspace — not a scheduling app and not a CRM —
> scaffolded with 15 modules, 5 record types and 4 named workflows that a
> dock & marina maintenance business actually runs on. Work is priced on
> linear feet of dock, plus piling and hardware replacement by unit.

## What it is for
Tide-aware scheduling, structure-first inspection.

The buyer is an owner or operator of a dock & marina maintenance business who
is currently running the work across a calendar, a phone, a notebook and a
separate invoicing tool. xDOCKx 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
Outdoor & Grounds — Weather and season set the calendar. Crews move in routes, and the asset being
maintained is alive.

## What the platform assesses
Underwater and above-deck photos grade piling wear, hardware corrosion, and
decking rot into a staged repair plan.

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

## Records the workspace keeps

## Frequently asked
### Is xDOCKx a separate product from the Biz Dev App?
No. xDOCKx is the dock & marina maintenance 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 xDOCKx price a job?
On linear feet of dock, plus piling and hardware replacement by unit. 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?
Tide and weather data, Marine supplier catalogs, Permit authorities,
QuickBooks are wired first, because those are what a dock & marina maintenance
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
xDOCKx 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.
