## What it is for
Vendors, timeline, budget. Own all three or own none of them.

The buyer is an owner or operator of a event planning & production business
who is currently running the work across a calendar, a phone, a notebook and a
separate invoicing tool. xEVENTPLANx 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
Events & Creative — One date, no second chance. Deposits, timelines, and deliverables carry the
whole relationship.

## What the platform assesses
Budget and guest count produce a vendor slate, a timeline draft, and the
contingency line the client will need.

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
planning fee or a percentage of event budget, with production management
priced separately

## Records the workspace keeps
- Event brief: date, budget, guest count, vision
- Vendor slate with contracts and payment schedule
- Master timeline with load-in, run-of-show, and strike
- Budget tracker with committed versus actual
- Contingency and weather plan

## Workflows it ships with
- Brief → budget model → vendor slate and contracts
- Timeline build with every vendor's load-in confirmed
- Payment schedule managed against the client's deposit calendar
- Post-event reconciliation and vendor performance scoring

## Modules
- CRM (Contacts, Companies, Deals)
- Calendar & Meetings
- Tasks
- ERP - Work Orders
- Client Portal & Intake
- Invoices
- Payments & Checkout
- Messaging (Email, SMS, Voice)
- Campaign Manager
- XODIAK Chain & Treasury
- Deal Rooms
- Partners & Revenue Share
- Talent Network
- Content Studio
- Media Library (Audio/Video/Image)
- Marketplace & Directory
- Analysis & Insights

## Integrations wired first
- Venue systems
- Vendor networks
- Stripe
- E-signature

## The numbers the owner checks
- Budget variance at event close
- Vendor on-time load-in rate
- Planning fee realized per event
- Referral rate from vendors

## Who buys
- Weddings and large private events
- Corporate conferences and product launches
- Nonprofit galas and municipal events

## What hurts without it
- Vendor contracts scattered across email threads
- Budgets tracked in a spreadsheet that nobody updates after the deposit
- Timelines that exist only in the planner's head

## How the business makes money
- Full-service planning fees
- Month-of coordination and production management
- Vendor referral and preferred-partner arrangements

## What it costs
- The workspace opens free, scaffolded with all 17 modules.
- Premium surfaces unlock individually — monthly, or a 24-hour unlock.
- Credits: $20 for 500 XDK, spendable across any surface. Balance carries.
- 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 xEVENTPLANx a separate product from the Biz Dev App?
No. xEVENTPLANx is the event planning & production configuration of the Biz
Dev App — the same platform, the same ledger, the same support, scaffolded
with the 17 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 xEVENTPLANx price a job?
On planning fee or a percentage of event budget, with production management
priced 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?
Venue systems, Vendor networks, Stripe, E-signature are wired first, because
those are what a event planning & production 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
xEVENTPLANx 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.
