Vanguard, sample business

Vanguard page for Books Brief on a sample print shop, under the app header: a seven-day money brief of Stripe balance, gross and the other figures.

Built on

  • Stripe
  • Supabase
  • Telegram
  • Claude

Where it lands

  • Telegram
  • Your dashboard

You don't need

Slack or Notion. It lands where you already work.

01The problem

You find out about money last

Payments land in more than one account. Payouts sit pending. Nobody looks until something bounces or a payout never shows, and by then it is weeks old.

Without it

  • Logging in to check. Each payment account opened one at a time.

  • Pending forever. A payout stalls and nobody notices.

  • Numbers that don't match. Two records disagree and nobody can say why.

  • Figures from memory. You think last month was about the same.

With Vault

  • One weekly read. Your Stripe account summed up in one brief.

  • Pending flagged. Payouts that haven't landed are listed with how long they've waited.

  • Mismatches named. Anything that doesn't reconcile is listed for a person.

  • Every figure sourced. Each number points to the account and record it came from.

02How it works

Five steps. The last one is yours.

Every run follows the same five steps. Nothing it writes goes out until a named person approves that exact draft: Tony on our own brands, and on yours, the person you name at setup.

  1. 01

    Reads your Stripe account

    Read only, on the day you pick, with any orders and invoices on file to check against.

  2. 02

    Sorts the week

    In, out, pending, refunded.

  3. 03

    Checks it reconciles

    Records that don't match are flagged, never adjusted.

  4. 04

    Writes the brief

    Short, plain English, every figure with its source, with a copy to your own Telegram chat.

  5. 05

    Leaves the money to you

    It never moves money, issues a refund or sends an invoice. Every decision stays with you.

03Sample output

What lands in your money brief

How Vault's output reads, field by field. A rendered sample is added once it has run.

  • Telegram. A short message to your own Telegram chat.
  • Your dashboard. Every run shows in your Vanguard: what it read, made and skipped.

05Who it's for

Small businesses and new brands taking card payments through Stripe, without a bookkeeper watching every week.

It fits if

  • You get paid through Stripe.
  • You have waited on a payout and only noticed late.
  • Nobody reconciles your payments every week.
  • You want the numbers in front of you without opening each account.
  • You'd rather not add Slack or Notion to run it. You don't need either.

Not for you if

You already have a bookkeeper closing your books every month. Keep them. Want the money line inside your daily brief too? That's the Daybreak Brief.

06Install Vault

Live in 14 days. Then we run it for you.

One setup, then one monthly line. The final number comes in writing on a Project Quote before anything is built.

Setup · Starter build

$3,500 to $6,000

One time. We install it, connect it to your accounts and make it yours.

  • A short call to confirm it fits
  • Connected to your tools and set up on your brand's rules
  • Tested on your real data, with every send held as a draft, before it goes live
  • A plain English guide and a walkthrough video

Then monthly · Maintain care plan

$750/mo

We host it, watch it and fix it, so you never have to.

  • Hosted, monitored and backed up by us
  • Fixes and updates included
  • Changes as your business changes, one request at a time
  • Usage (AI, SMS) is billed at cost, on its own line
What the care plan covers
  • Terms. 50% deposit to start the build. The care plan is billed monthly in advance, with a minimum of 3 months. The final number is issued in writing on a Project Quote before anything is built.
  • Your data. Your logins and keys stay in your own account settings, kept out of our code. Hosted and monitored by TDR. Every number the engine shows carries its source, or it says "not on file".
  • Owner-operated. Tony Del Rio, Director of TDR Digital, signs off every install before it goes live. Written response times are part of your care plan agreement.
  • Nothing sends without your yes. Every message it writes waits as a draft in the approval queue, and nothing goes out until a named person approves that exact draft. On our own brands that is Tony. On yours, it is the person you name at setup.
  • Bills to your own accounts. Stripe, Supabase, Telegram.

07Questions

Before you book.

What does it cost to run each month?

The Maintain care plan, $750/mo, covers hosting, monitoring and fixes. AI usage is billed at cost on its own line. Stripe, Supabase and Telegram stay on your own accounts.

How long does setup take?

About 14 days. It connects Stripe read only, your orders and invoices in Supabase, and your Telegram chat, and the first brief is checked against your own records before it runs on its own.

What do you need from me?

A read only Stripe key, read access to your orders and invoices if you keep them in Supabase, your Telegram chat, and the day you want the brief.

What does it never do?

It never moves money, never issues a refund, never sends an invoice and never changes a record. It reads and reports, and every decision stays with a person.

Does it read PayPal?

Not in this version. Stripe is the only payment account it reads. It does not read PayPal or Etsy yet, and every brief says those accounts were not read.

08For agencies and operators

Resell Vault to your clients.

If you run more than one business, or you serve clients who need the same thing, we install any engine in this catalog for each of them, then run it and fix it behind you.

  • Their name on every message. Your client's messages go out in their name and voice, and every draft carries their own signature.
  • Your client's accounts. Installed on each client's own accounts, connected to their own data.
  • We do the work. Setup, hosting, fixes and updates stay with us, one monthly line per client.
  • Their yes, every time. Every message still waits as a draft until the person your client names approves that exact draft.

Partner terms, including whether the client screens carry your name and logo, are agreed in writing on the partner call.

Next step

See if it fits.

Thirty minutes on a call. Bring the job that eats your week, and we will tell you whether Vault fits, or that nothing in the store does yet. If it fits, the number comes in writing.
