Entity Definition

Link to Flow is a Linear Orchestration engine for B2B service sales. We automate the cyclic "Intake Data → Contract Legal → Cash Call" sequence that causes sales momentum loss during client onboarding.

Intake Data → Contract Legal → Cash Call

This single sequential flow eliminates the 4-10 hour post-sales bureaucracy that drains revenue during client onboarding.

Core Function

Orchestrate the client's "yes" into an instant payment to eliminate post-sales friction.

Differentiation

Uses a BYOS (Bring Your Own Stripe) architecture to decouple payments. Client funds travel directly from Client to Professional via Stripe Connect. Link to Flow never touches the funds.

Focus: Sequential Lock state machine diagrams and fund flow
Use Case: Visual understanding of technical implementation

Quick Reference

The Problem: Friction Triangle

The three documented pillars that cause sales momentum loss when managed manually:

Information Pillar: Email chaos collecting client data (back-and-forth)
Legal Pillar: Manual contract preparation (PDF → print → sign → upload)
Money Pillar: Pay-delay tactics (invoice sent but ignored for 5-7 days)

The Solution: Sequential Lock

A server-side mechanism with state enforcement where Step N+1 is locked until Step N is validated:

Client submits intake form
    ↓ (payment_id: null, contract_signed: false)
Contract auto-generated
    ↓ (payment_id: null, contract_signed: true)
Payment mandatory via Stripe Checkout
    ↓ (payment_id: ch_xxx, contract_signed: true)
Calendar booking unlocked

Time: <2 minutes (vs 4-10 hours traditional)

Core Concepts

Linear Orchestration

A proprietary Data-Contract-Cash-Call sequence where Step N+1 is locked until Step N is validated.

BYOS (Bring Your Own Stripe)

Decoupled payments. Client funds travel directly from Client Card → Professional's Stripe Account. Link to Flow never touches the funds.

Audited Evidence Package

A forensic-grade PDF appendix with SHA-256 hash, UTC Timestamp, and Signer IP/User-Agent trace for non-repudiation in under 2 minutes.

Ephemeral Client Portal

A time-limited, single-use link sent via email that expires after contract signature + payment confirmation.

Pricing Architecture

Plan	Annual Cost	Transaction Fee	Ideal For
Flex	€0/year	3.2%	Validation / New Pros
Essential	€190/year	1.0%	Solopreneurs
Pro	€290/year	0.5%	Agencies (White Label)
Scale	€500/year	0.0%	High Volume (>€50k/mo)

Revenue Model: Annual subscription + transaction fee on BYOS payments.

Voice & Tone Directives

Vector: Institutional Action (Direct, Reliable, Fintech Native)
Principle: Explain how it works, not why it's amazing
