# Solvr Discovery Questions
## Pre-Engagement Scoping Call

*Use these to sound sharp, set boundaries, and avoid landmines.*

---

## 1. User Interface & Access

**How do Zack and Allyson prefer to interact with their agents day-to-day?**
- Telegram?
- iMessage?
- Slack?
- Email?
- Web dashboard?

*Why you're asking: Different interfaces = different infrastructure. iMessage needs Mac hosting. Telegram is simplest. This scopes the build.*

**Will each executive interact only with their assigned agent, or do they need access to all three?**

*Why: Affects permissions, routing logic, and potential confusion.*

**Do you need mobile access, desktop, or both?**

*Why: Mobile-first means Telegram/iMessage. Desktop opens up more options.*

---

## 2. Infrastructure & Hosting

**Do you have a preference for where the agents run?**
- Your own servers (we deploy to your infrastructure)
- Cloud instance we manage for you
- No preference — recommend what's best

*Why: "Your infrastructure" = less ongoing responsibility for you. "We manage" = recurring revenue but more liability.*

**Are there any compliance or data residency requirements we should know about?**
- SOC 2?
- GDPR?
- Data must stay in US/EU?

*Why: If they say SOC 2, price goes up. If they say "no," you're clear.*

**How do you currently handle API credentials and secrets?**
- 1Password / secrets manager?
- Shared doc? (oof)
- IT team manages?

*Why: Shows you take security seriously. Also flags if they're a mess internally.*

---

## 3. GoHighLevel Specifics

**Which GHL features are mission-critical for the agents?**
- Contacts & pipelines?
- SMS/email campaigns?
- Workflows & automations?
- Reporting?
- All of the above?

*Why: You have 65 tools built. This confirms coverage and avoids "but we also need X" later.*

**Are you on GHL Agency or Location level?**

*Why: API access differs. Agency = more powerful. Location = more limited.*

**Do the agents need to trigger GHL workflows, or just read/write data?**

*Why: Triggering workflows is more complex. Reading/writing is straightforward.*

---

## 4. LinkedIn (The Risky One)

**For LinkedIn management — are you comfortable with agents drafting posts for human approval, or do you want fully automated posting?**

*Why: "Human approval" = safe. "Fully automated" = ban risk. Let them choose the risk level.*

**Would you use a dedicated LinkedIn account for automation, or Zack/Allyson's personal accounts?**

*Why: Dedicated account = if it gets banned, no big deal. Personal account = yikes.*

**Are you aware that LinkedIn actively restricts automation, and there's inherent account risk with any automated activity?**

*Why: CYA. Get this on record. If an account gets restricted, it's not your fault.*

---

## 5. Meeting Intelligence

**Where are meeting recordings stored today?**
- Google Drive (automatic from Meet)?
- Local downloads?
- Somewhere else?

*Why: Scopes the "ingest" part of meeting intelligence.*

**Do you need real-time transcription during meetings, or is post-meeting processing okay?**

*Why: Real-time = much harder. Post-meeting = standard whisper workflow.*

**Who should receive the meeting summaries and action items?**
- Just the meeting organizer?
- All attendees?
- Specific people?

*Why: Affects distribution logic and permissions.*

---

## 6. Agent Coordination

**When one agent hands off to another, how should that look to you?**
- Silent (happens in background)?
- Notification ("Dot handed this to Rose")?
- Approval required ("Dot wants to hand this to Rose — approve?")?

*Why: Silent = simpler. Approval = more control but more friction.*

**Should agents be able to assign tasks to each other autonomously, or should a human approve task delegation?**

*Why: Same as above — autonomy vs. control tradeoff.*

**Is there a "source of truth" for client/contact info?**
- GHL is the master?
- Notion?
- Spreadsheet?
- Multiple systems (uh oh)?

*Why: One source = clean. Multiple = sync hell. Flag this early.*

---

## 7. Design & Content

**For design assets — do you have existing brand guidelines, templates, or a style guide?**

*Why: If yes, agents can follow them. If no, you're not responsible for "off-brand" output.*

**What formats do you need for generated content?**
- PNG/JPG for social?
- PDF for reports?
- PPTX for presentations?

*Why: Scopes the design MCP capabilities needed.*

**Who approves design output before it goes live?**

*Why: Establishes human-in-the-loop. Protects you from "the agent posted something ugly."*

---

## 8. Success Criteria

**What does success look like 90 days after launch?**

*Why: Gets them to define the goal. You deliver to THAT, not endless scope creep.*

**What's the #1 thing you want off your plate?**
- Zack's answer?
- Allyson's answer?

*Why: Prioritizes what matters. If you nail this one thing, they're happy.*

**How will you measure ROI on this project?**
- Time saved?
- Revenue generated?
- Leads qualified?
- Meetings booked?

*Why: Anchors expectations to measurable outcomes.*

---

## 9. Timeline & Priorities

**Is there a hard deadline or event driving this project?**

*Why: If yes, you know the pressure. If no, you have flexibility.*

**If we had to launch with only ONE agent fully functional, which would it be?**

*Why: Forces prioritization. You deliver that one first, then iterate.*

**Are there any integrations or features that are "nice to have" vs. "must have"?**

*Why: Separates core scope from stretch goals. Protects you from scope creep.*

---

## 10. Red Flag Detectors

**Have you worked with AI agents or automation before?**
- If yes: What worked? What didn't?
- If no: What are your expectations?

*Why: Experienced = realistic expectations. First-timers = may need education.*

**Who's the decision-maker for approving deliverables?**

*Why: Avoids "I like it but my partner doesn't" at the end.*

**Is there anyone else on your team who should be involved in this conversation?**

*Why: Surfaces hidden stakeholders early.*

## Questions YOU Should Be Ready For

They might ask you:

| Their Question | Your Answer |
|----------------|-------------|
| "Can you guarantee the agents won't make mistakes?" | "Agents operate with human oversight for critical actions. We build in approval workflows for anything high-stakes." |
| "What if LinkedIn bans the account?" | "We mitigate risk with rate limiting and human approval for outreach. If you'd prefer, we can use a dedicated automation account separate from personal profiles." |
| "How long until we see ROI?" | "Most clients see time savings within the first 2 weeks. Full ROI depends on your volume, but we'll set measurable KPIs together." |
| "Can we add more features later?" | "Absolutely. The architecture is modular — we can add new MCP integrations or agent capabilities as your needs evolve." |
| "What happens if you get hit by a bus?" | "All code and documentation is yours. We'll do a full handoff and training so your team can maintain it independently." |

## After the Call

Summarize in an email:
1. What they said their priorities are
2. What you're including in scope
3. What's explicitly OUT of scope
4. Timeline and next steps

*This protects you. If scope creeps later, point to the email.*
