Legal owner record

MELISSA DIANE BRYANT

Sole proprietor. Creator and owner of BOSS™ — Business Optimization & Systems Software.

Product created: June 2025

Entity type: Sole proprietorship in the legal name Melissa Diane Bryant

EIN: 42-5185507

EIN issued: Friday, September 18, 2026

Date of birth (KYC / Stripe identity only): January 24, 1980

Date of birth and EIN are on this private page so you can finish Stripe, bank, and IRS setup. They are not printed on the public catalog, checkout, or vault. Password-protect this URL before launch. Do not screenshot this block into ads or social.

1. Domain — DONE

Domain: knowwithboss.com

Registrar: Namecheap

Order: 214724921

Purchased: September 21, 2026, 4:13 PM

Keep registrant as: Melissa Diane Bryant

Public URL: https://knowwithboss.com

www: https://www.knowwithboss.com

Do not buy Namecheap hosting. Do not form an LLC from the Namecheap banner. You already operate as a sole proprietor. Change nameservers only after Netlify shows its two nameserver lines.

2. Host the folder

The entire site is the BOSS-Website folder. Drag that folder onto Netlify Drop for a 30-second preview, or:

Install Netlify CLI → netlify login → inside this folder netlify deploy --prod. The included netlify.toml already routes functions.

3. Stripe (takes the money)

Create the Stripe account as a sole proprietor in the legal name Melissa Diane Bryant — match the EIN letter exactly, including Diane. When Stripe asks for business type, choose Individual / Sole proprietor. Identity: date of birth January 24, 1980. Tax ID: EIN 42-5185507 (issued September 18, 2026). Do not open the account as an LLC unless counsel later forms one. Activate the account. Under Settings → Payouts, add the business checking account titled as close as the bank allows to Melissa Diane Bryant. Stripe sends deposits on a rolling schedule after the first live charge.

Create Products that match the catalog:

Founding Assessment $997 one-time · Standard Assessment $1,997 one-time · Implementation Intensive $5,500 one-time · BOSS Guard $600 / month recurring.

Copy the Price IDs into netlify/functions/create-checkout.js. Copy the publishable key (pk_live_…) and secret key (sk_live_…) into Netlify environment variables: STRIPE_SECRET_KEY, STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET, RESEND_API_KEY, FROM_EMAIL, OWNER_EMAIL.

On this browser you can store the publishable key for the front end:

4. Bank account

Open a dedicated business checking account in the sole-proprietor name Melissa Diane Bryant and give the bank EIN 42-5185507. Do not mix personal spend. Stripe payouts arrive there. Sole-proprietor income is reported on your personal return (typically Schedule C) — confirm filing with a CPA. Keep a tax reserve (often 25–30% of profit until a CPA says otherwise). Florida sales tax generally does not apply to this kind of professional service the same way retail goods do — confirm before you advertise “tax included.”

5. Email delivery (sends the software / vault)

Create a Resend account. Verify the domain you bought. The function netlify/functions/fulfillment.js emails the buyer their access code, vault URL, and attached welcome pack the instant Stripe fires checkout.session.completed. Also set a webhook in Stripe pointing at https://YOURDOMAIN/.netlify/functions/fulfillment.

Until that webhook is live, the success page’s “Send vault email” button opens a prewritten message from your own inbox. Use that as the manual backup. Never skip the backup on launch week.

Planned addresses after Resend verifies the domain: FROM_EMAIL=vault@knowwithboss.com and OWNER_EMAIL=owner@knowwithboss.com. Webhook URL: https://knowwithboss.com/.netlify/functions/fulfillment.

6. What the buyer receives

Access code · vault URL · Adaptive Intake · Evidence Request list · scheduling instructions. That is the digital product. The examination itself is scheduled work, not a file dump of the private scoring engine.

7. What never goes on the website

Scoring weights, thresholds, trigger mappings, proprietary pattern rules, validation notes, unreleased decision logic. Those remain in the Owner Vault document only.

8. Launch sequence

1. Domain bought (knowwithboss.com · Namecheap 214724921). 2. Open Stripe + bank. 3. Open Resend + verify knowwithboss.com. From-address: vault@knowwithboss.com. Owner copy: owner@knowwithboss.com. 4. Deploy this folder to Netlify. 5. Add custom domain knowwithboss.com + www.knowwithboss.com. 6. Paste Netlify nameservers into Namecheap. 7. Add env vars. 8. Stripe webhook https://knowwithboss.com/.netlify/functions/fulfillment for checkout.session.completed. 9. One $997 test in Stripe test mode. 10. Flip to live keys. 11. Announce.

9. Pages on this site

index.html — command center · systems.html — frozen stack · products.html — catalog · checkout.html — pay desk · success.html — delivery · vault.html — client room · contact.html — inquiry · legal.html — draft terms · owner-setup.html — this page · vault-pack/ — files the buyer opens.

10. Owner Vault documents

Complete calculus lives in BOSS_Master_Owner_Manual_Private_Vault.pdf and the matching editable Word files. Weights, priority formula, implementation quote formula, and the worked example stay off this website.

Have counsel replace legal.html before the first live dollar. Have a CPA confirm entity, sales tax, and estimated tax. This software ships the commercial path. It does not replace those two professionals.
