## What it is for
Anyone can install it. The money is in keeping it working.

The buyer is an owner or operator of a smart home setup & support business who
is currently running the work across a calendar, a phone, a notebook and a
separate invoicing tool. xSMARTHOMEx 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
Technical & Installation — Licensed, permitted, inspected. A site assessment gates the quote and the
quote gates the install.

## What the platform assesses
Device compatibility checking across hubs and protocols, plus network capacity
modeling before anything is ordered.

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
install by device count and complexity, with monthly support subscriptions

## Records the workspace keeps
- Home network record: router, coverage, bandwidth, VLANs
- Device inventory with protocol, hub, and firmware
- Automation and scene configuration
- Household user guide generated from the install
- Support subscription with response commitment

## Workflows it ships with
- Compatibility and network assessment → device plan → install day
- Household walkthrough with a written guide left behind
- Support subscription with remote troubleshooting
- Firmware and device refresh review annually

## 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
- ERP - Inventory
- Knowledge Graph & RAG (Axon)
- Voice & Telephony
- Marketplace & Directory
- Analysis & Insights
- AI Gateway & Agents

## Integrations wired first
- Smart home platform APIs
- Networking equipment vendors
- Stripe recurring
- Remote support tooling

## The numbers the owner checks
- Support subscription attach rate
- Devices per home under management
- Remote resolution rate without a truck roll
- Annual refresh revenue

## Who buys
- Homeowners with accumulated, non-communicating devices
- Builders offering smart-home packages
- Short-term rental operators automating access and climate

## What hurts without it
- Devices installed by three different people with no documentation
- One-time installs with no recurring support revenue
- Networks that cannot carry the devices already sold

## How the business makes money
- Installation and configuration projects
- Monthly support and monitoring subscriptions
- Device supply, refresh, and network upgrades

## What it costs
- The workspace opens free, scaffolded with all 16 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 xSMARTHOMEx a separate product from the Biz Dev App?
No. xSMARTHOMEx is the smart home setup & support configuration of the Biz Dev
App — the same platform, the same ledger, the same support, scaffolded with
the 16 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 xSMARTHOMEx price a job?
On install by device count and complexity, with monthly support subscriptions.
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?
Smart home platform APIs, Networking equipment vendors, Stripe recurring,
Remote support tooling are wired first, because those are what a smart home
setup & support 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
xSMARTHOMEx 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.
