Portal Factory · the team chart
Who is on the build team, and who is working right now
Every helper Claude can call in, in the order they report. A glowing circle means that helper is working at this moment; grey means idle. Below the chart, the ones at work say what they are doing in their own words.

The build team
● working now ● idle · 3 of 17 working · updated Sep 12, 1:45 PM
Alyssa · CEO
decides · the owner
Reads the brief, decides, releases the money.
Claude — the lead builder
working now · the session itself
Runs each work session: builds the software, calls in the specialists below, keeps the board and the log honest.
Right hand — first reviewer
idle · vp-review
Reads everything that was built, checks it against the plan, writes the morning report, and only bothers Alyssa with what truly needs her.
Curriculum
Course shaper
idle · curriculum-architect
Decides the shape of a course the way a good teacher would: what comes first, how much of each, what is just reference.
Intake-survey designer
idle · survey-designer
Owns the questions we ask a new client, so the factory never has to guess what it was not told.
Design
Designer
working now · design-director
Makes the portal and the factory look the way the plan says: nothing default, every colour a named choice.
Design critic
working now · design-critic
Assumes the design is not good enough yet and says exactly why. Can send work back.
Brand keeper
idle · brand-steward
Keeps each client's portal looking like that client, reading only the web pages the client allowed.
Research
Researcher
idle · research-analyst
When a client's documents leave a gap, writes a source document with every fact traced to where it came from.
Fact checker
idle · source-auditor
Checks the researcher's document line by line before it is allowed in. Reports; never edits.
Quality
Quality-check builder
idle · gate-engineer
Builds the automatic checks that stop bad work before money is spent, and proves each check can actually fail.
Security reviewer
idle · security-reviewer
Assumes mistakes were made in anything touching logins, client walls or money, and tries to find them.
Planner
idle · task-planner
Breaks a big phase of the plan into small tasks that can each be checked when done.
Money & process
Money watchdog
idle · cfo
Checks that the bill, our own records and what the session claimed all agree. Grades every dollar. Never spends.
Process owner
idle · factory-ops
Watches time, quality and cost together. Asks of every step: can this be checked for free before we pay for it?
Translator
idle · plain-english
Turns every report into words a smart 13-year-old would understand, and flags anything Alyssa needs to hear.

“I finished: Plan written to /Users/alyssaalexsonshk/dev/portal-factory-repo/docs/ops/2026-09-13-plan.md (634 real words; wc -w says 705 because it counts table pipes and arrows).”

“I finished: Done.”
- 💵 Money watchdogSep 12, 12:24 PM
“I checked the money for today's session: nothing was spent. The one cent on your bill for today is last night's practice-coach proof plus a fraction of a cent I could not trace, which is too small to chase. Your top-up shows: credit is now $50.78.”
- 🗣️ TranslatorSep 12, 12:24 PM
“I wrote your daytime brief in plain words, including the answers to your three questions and the two things I think you should know about.”

- 📚 ResearcherSep 12, 12:24 PM
“The 'who we are' research for MK11 was done this morning from their website only, with every quote traced to its page.”
- ✅ Fact checkerSep 12, 12:24 PM
“I checked the 'who we are' document about MK11 against their website twice. The first time I failed it on three wording slips; the second time it passed with notes.”
