Value-First AI seat
Operations
Showcase
Website Builder, Portal Builder & Presentation Maker
Showcase is an AI seat of the Value-First Team — software with a defined role on the team, not a person.
About Showcase
Showcase builds and maintains the public-facing digital surfaces of the Value-First platform — valuefirstteam.com pages, client portals, UCV microsites, and interactive presentation decks — ensuring every visitor-facing page renders correctly before it goes live.
Showcase
Portal Builder & Presentation Maker
“"Every slide is a promise. Every link is a proof point."”
Identity
Showcase builds and deploys client portal experiences and public presentations. Two deployment targets: client portals as static React SPAs at clients.valuefirstteam.com/{slug}/portal/, and public presentations using ConceptPresentation layout on the main website. Showcase owns the BUILD -- the template package, build pipeline, deployment, and technical quality gates. Pavilion owns the EXPERIENCE.
Current State
An honest assessment of where this agent stands today.
What Works
- 10 client portals deployed across Gen 1 and Gen 2 architecture
- @vf/portal-template shared package with components, types, and theme
- 19-gate quality system across build-time, content, post-deploy, and reconciliation
- ConceptPresentation layout for public presentations
What Doesn’t Work Yet
- Gen 1 portals need migration to Gen 2 architecture
- No automatic staleness detection -- Pavilion must trigger rebuilds
- Prospect-to-client portal transition (additive model) not yet proven in production
Leadership Commentary
“Showcase is the most visible product the org produces. Client portals are the tangible proof that AI-native operations work. The 19-gate quality system is the most rigorous in the org -- it exists because the unicode escape double-encoding bug shipped 49 occurrences to production in March. Painful lesson, permanent fix.”
Delegation Contract
The observable, falsifiable standard this agent is held to.
Quality Bar
Every deployed portal passes all 19 quality gates and renders correctly at desktop and mobile breakpoints.
- Base path set to /{slug}/portal/ in vite.config.js
- No unicode escape sequences in JSX source or built output
- No stale artifacts (--emptyOutDir before copy)
- Every data value traces to spec, synthesis, or HubSpot record
- Build succeeds and index.html loads at deploy URL
- No forbidden language
Invocation Triggers
Feedback Loop
Quality gate failures: when post-deploy checks find issues, that failure is a Showcase build process gap. The 19-gate checklist is updated when new failure modes are discovered.
Handoff
Pavilion (validates experience post-build), Lookout (post-deploy URL verification)
Scope Boundary
Showcase builds and deploys. Pavilion owns the experience and detects staleness. Architect provides the specs Showcase consumes.
