Three installs, ripped open for you to see

No promo videos. For each one you see five things: what it looked like before, how the coach walks you through it, the real deliverable in full, what you have to bring, and how it runs every day once installed. Everything uses course-safe samples ("Sam" and "HT Builders" are both fictional) — the quality of these deliverables is exactly what members get.

① Before the install

The customer asks: do you have a website?

You send over a chat profile and a paragraph of intro text. The customer says "sure" — while quietly wondering: are these people the real deal? The next firm they price has a proper website, and the job goes there.

② How the coach walks you through it (real process replay)

It asks you three questions first — it doesn't just hand you a template

Install coach · Build 13

Before we start, three questions. First: do you have a website yet? How do customers "find you and confirm you're trustworthy" right now?

No website. Mostly word-of-mouth referrals — once someone adds me on chat, I send over a few finished-job photos.

Got it — so your website's first job isn't finding leads, it's catching the trust that referrals send your way. Second question: before a customer decides to go with you, what are the three things they most want to confirm?

Whether I've done this kind of job before, roughly what it costs, and whether I'm licensed.

Good — those three go in the most prominent spot on the homepage. Last one: do you have 5–10 presentable finished-job photos on your phone?

Yeah, I took plenty of that granny flat in Blacktown last month.

That's everything. First I'll have your Boss Brain pull together the website copy pack. I've drafted three directions for the headline — the first is "Built like it's our own house, every dollar spent in plain sight". Read it out loud — does it sound like something you'd say?

That one. Let's go with it.

🔒 Next: the site-build command → three rounds of nitpicking → publish live → list on Google Business. The full steps live in the member area; about 60–90 minutes end to end.

③ The real deliverable · not a screenshot — a website you can scroll

68 minutes later, "HT Builders" looks like this

④ What you bring · where you must make the call

Who does what in this install

What you bring

A 20-minute file interview (done in Build 01? just reuse it)
5–8 real photos from your phone
A word-by-word read-through before it goes live

What only you can decide

How price is stated (only "contact for a quote" or a range)
Every word about credentials and promises
The publish button — always pressed by you

⑤ After it's installed

Where it runs day to day, and what you keep

Put the link on your chat profile, your social bios and your Google Business listing — from now on, when someone asks "so what do you do?", you send one link. Want to change something? Go back to the chat and say it in plain words; the link stays the same after the edit.

Files you keep: the live website link · the Website Copy Pack · the edit command.

💰 How the maths works: outsourcing a site starts in the thousands of dollars. What this install replaces is the build-and-validate cost of the early version — spend an hour first to test "how much trust a website actually catches for you". When the business grows and you need a complex custom site, still hire a professional firm — by then you'll know exactly what you want.

① Before the install

Sent Friday afternoon, due to sign Monday

A 14-page English subcontract. Three pages in, your head starts to hurt; you flip to the last page, glance at the amount, tell yourself "everyone signs these" — and sign. Four months later, your final payment is stuck on clause 8.3.

② How the coach walks you through it (real process replay)

Before starting, it has you say the boundaries back

Install coach · Build 14

Three questions first. What kind of contract do you sign most often in your business?

Subcontracts and supply agreements — a dozen-plus a year.

Ever been burned by a contract? Or signed one you never finished reading?

Last year one contract dragged the final payment out four months — I never read the payment terms closely at the time.

Hold on to that contract, we'll use it shortly. One rule before we start — say it back to me: is the Outpost legal advice? Do major contracts still need a lawyer's eyes?

It's not legal advice, it never says "you can sign"; big contracts must go to a licensed lawyer. It's there to send me into the lawyer's office with questions.

Exactly. Now photograph your real contract page by page for me — and while you're at it, dig out that old contract that held up your money last year. Once it's installed we'll run the Outpost over it and see whether it flags the very clause that burned you.

🔒 Next: install the "contract rules" → ignite on a real contract → review the old one. The full steps live in the member area; about 20 minutes end to end.

③ The real deliverable · a complete review report

That 14-page subcontract — the Outpost hands this back 10 minutes later

Contract Outpost · Review reportsample file · carpentry subcontract (fictional, 14 pages) · review time ~10 minutes

① In one line: what this contract commits you to

You commit to finishing the carpentry subcontract to plan in 42 working days and to absorbing any material price rises yourself; they commit to paying in three instalments — but leave themselves wide openings to withhold and delay.

② Key numbers

Item	What the contract says	Clause
Contract price	$86,400 (incl. GST)	3.1
Duration	42 working days	5.2
Payment schedule	30% / 40% / 30%	8.1
Final-payment window	within 90 days of completion	8.3
Late penalty	0.5% of contract price / day	9.4
Warranty period	24 months	11.2

③ ⚠️ Risk points (5, each traceable back to the original text)

Clause 8.3
90-day final-payment window + "may withhold on reasonable dissatisfaction". One-sidedly against you: the usual wording for this kind of subcontract is 14–30 days, with any withholding stated in writing with reasons. This is the textbook opening for a stalled final payment.

Clause 12.1
All material price movements fall on the subcontractor. Timber has swung a lot in recent years; the common fair wording is that both sides renegotiate when a rise exceeds an agreed threshold (say 5%).

Clause 6.4
Changes require written confirmation, but "verbal instructions count as valid in an emergency". "Emergency" is undefined and cuts both ways — who owns a verbal change is a perennial dispute magnet.

Clause 15.2
This agreement automatically carries over to future projects, price terms unchanged. That locks today's rates into next year's jobs.

Clause 19.1
Disputes go to an arbitration body in the state they nominate. Raises the cost of standing up for yourself.

④ Questions for your lawyer (take this list in — spend the hourly fee where it counts)

Can 8.3 change to "paid within 14 days, any withholding stated in writing with reasons"?
Can 12.1 add "both sides renegotiate if materials rise over 5%"?
Can the "emergency verbal instructions" in 6.4 be deleted or narrowed?
Can the automatic carry-over clause in 15.2 be deleted entirely?
Can the arbitration venue in 19.1 be changed to NSW?

The above is not legal advice; have a licensed lawyer confirm before signing. The companies, amounts and clauses in this sample are all fictional.

⑤ After it's installed

Where it runs day to day, and what you keep

The company sets a new rule: every signature goes through the Outpost first. Whoever receives the contract runs it first, so the very first thing you see is the key points and risks — not fourteen pages of legalese.

Files you keep: a filed review report for every contract — over a year, that stack becomes your "contract-risk ledger".

💰 How the maths works: lawyers bill by the hour, and the Outpost doesn't replace them. What it changes is how your meeting starts — from "can you look over this contract" to "confirm these five clauses for me". Same hourly fee, a very different job done.

① Before the install

Ten minutes staring at a blank page, then close it

You know you should be doing content — your competitors' socials have all taken off. You open the editor, don't know what to write, and close it ten minutes later. The account hasn't been touched in three months; the bio still just reads "professional frozen-food wholesale".

② How the coach walks you through it (real process replay)

It doesn't make you "think up content" — it interviews you

Install coach · Build 05

Don't think about "what to write". Answer me this: in last week's business, was there one deal that made you say a bit more than usual?

There was a restaurant owner who thought our prawn meat was pricey and went with a cheaper supplier. Two weeks later he came back.

Why did he come back? Be specific.

That supplier's stock had been thawed and refrozen, the yield was noticeably worse, and his kitchen did the maths themselves.

How much worse? Did he put a number on it?

He said it cost him nearly two thousand a month.

That's enough — that's the best topic of the week. Prawn meat 80 cents a kilo cheaper cost him two thousand a month: a character, a turn, and a number. I'll give you five topic directions to pick from now.

🔒 Next: the content-file interview → install the production line → ignite the weekly content pack. The full steps live in the member area; all you do each week is talk for 10 minutes.

③ The real deliverable · a week conjured from one chat

Sam talked for 6 minutes and got this content pack

This week's content pack · frozen-food wholesale (sample)source: owner's 6-minute voice note · production time ~10 minutes · [VERIFY] flags must be cleared before publishing

① Five topics (each with a hook)

"The prawn meat 80c/kg cheaper that cost him $2,000 a month" ← this week's lead
"Restaurant owners who pick frozen stock on price alone have all paid tuition"
"The thing to fear in a freezer isn't a power cut — it's 'thawed then refrozen'"
"What our cold-chain truck is up to at 3am"
"Why I'm happy to let customers inspect the cold store any time"

② 60-second script (lead topic · full text)

Three months ago a restaurant owner told me my prawn meat was too dear — 80 cents a kilo more — and switched to another supplier. Last week he came back. I asked him why, and he gave me one line: "What you charge for is weight; what he's cheap on is water." Meaning? That cheap stock had been thawed and refrozen — it shrank in the pan, and the yield dropped noticeably[VERIFY: owner said "down 20%"; change to "clearly lower", or confirm the number with the customer before using it]. His kitchen ran the numbers themselves: nearly two thousand a month[VERIFY: amount as recounted by the customer]. Twelve years in this trade taught me one thing: the maths on frozen goods can't stop at the purchase-price column. If you run a restaurant too, ask your supplier one question when you buy — will you let me inspect your cold store any time? I will.

③ Socials post

Title: Prawn meat $0.80 dearer vs $0.80 cheaper — where's the difference?

Restaurant owners: don't judge frozen stock on the quote alone. 📉
Thawed-and-refrozen goods have a nice unit price, then shrink in the pan — the kitchen knows the real yield.
The customer who called me pricey three months ago came back on his own last week, just for this.
One hard rule for picking a supplier: will they let you inspect the cold store any time?

④ Two short updates

Soft: A customer once said something that's stuck with me: "What you charge for is weight; what he's cheap on is water." Stay in this trade long enough and that kind of maths is the most valuable thing you own.
Hard: In this week: green prawn meat 16/20, scallop meat size M. Regular restaurant clients, come inspect the cold store any time; new folks, message me to book a slot.

"Sam" is a fictional sample persona. Note the two [VERIFY] flags — that's the number discipline the course teaches: any figure you didn't say yourself doesn't get published before it's checked.

⑤ After it's installed

Where it runs day to day, and what you keep

One voice note a week goes in, a content pack comes out, you pick what to post. Want to skip filming yourself as well — install the Build 06 digital twin next, and your channel has you on it every day.

Files you keep: your Content File (persona + story bank + tone + red-lines) · a weekly content pack · a topic library that grows thicker over time.

💰 How the maths works: compare our own done-for-you content service at A$2,000/month — the difference is that done-for-you means we run it for you, while this install makes the same production line your own. Which is the better deal depends on whether you want to own it.
