Source gaps log

Consolidated [CONFIRM] tags grouped into eight resolution clusters.

Source Gaps Log

Consolidated list of every [CONFIRM] tag across all modules. Each row tracks a claim that was paraphrased from the NotebookLM draft (or inferred from the Voice Playbook) rather than verified against a primary HiON document.

Status values: unverified (primary source not yet checked), verified (matched against primary source — number/wording correct), corrected (primary source disagreed — module updated), removed (claim could not be substantiated and was cut), referenced (verified by reference in the Manual; full primary text in a different document such as the FA, MSA, or another module’s coverage).

Primary sources available as of 2026-05-19:

  • ✅ Operations Manual v1.0 Working Draft (HiON_Operations_Manual.docx.md)
  • ❌ Franchise Agreement (Sections 5 fees, lease addendum attachment letter, etc.)
  • ❌ Master Services Agreement (False Call-Out mechanics, Uptime Guarantee specifics, settlement cadence)
  • ❌ Franchise Disclosure Document (Item 6 fees, Item 7 initial investment, Item 11 training program, Item 19 financial performance representations)

M01 · The HiON system and the role split — v0.2 (revised against Manual v1.0)

Status: 18 of 22 claims now verified or properly referenced. 4 remain dependent on FA / MSA primary sources.

ClaimResolution
Royalty Fee is $0.05/kWh on gross dispensed electricityRemoved. Manual does not restate fee amounts (§2.1.2 explicitly defers to FA Section 5). Module now references FA Section 5 without quoting a rate.
FBC cadence is quarterly with monthly informal touchesRevised. Manual says “Scheduled FBC Touchpoints, per the cadence established at your onboarding and on the Partner Portal” (§3.1.2). Module now uses Manual language.

Resolution path

Each outstanding item has a named resolver in the module’s Section 11. The most efficient resolution sequence:

  1. Surface the FA, MSA, FDD primary documents to verify or correct fee amounts, cure periods, attachment letters, formal procedures, and disclosure-specific content
  2. Surface the Partner Portal current contents to verify or update Site Design Manual specs, Brand Asset Library files, vendor lists, templates, playbooks, and Manual Appendices

Until these are surfaced, every module operates with [CONFIRM] tags marking the FA/MSA/FDD/Partner Portal-dependent specifics. The Manual citations (every §, every [MANDATORY] / [APPROVAL REQUIRED] / [RECOMMENDED] / [LOCAL-LAW DEPENDENT] standard, every numbered procedure, every required-deliverable cadence) are verified against Operations Manual v1.0 Working Draft.


M08 · Launch and local marketing — v0.1

Status: ~22 claims verified against Manual + Voice Playbook; 6 outstanding require Partner Portal current contents and FA/FDD primary.

Highlights verified: 8-row marketing role split; 5-calendar-day ribbon-cutting; 15-BD HiON invitation; 4 [MANDATORY] Start-Up Advertising standards (material breach if missed); 10-item launch-week checklist; 4 [MANDATORY] local marketing standards + 6 approved channels; 4 [MANDATORY] Site Host co-marketing standards; 3 [MANDATORY] digital presence standards (no driver-support channel; no third-party finders); 3 [MANDATORY] + 1 [APPROVAL REQUIRED] social media standards; 4 [MANDATORY] creative review standards with 10-BD response; A&M Fund + Local Spend + Start-Up Advertising as three distinct obligations.

Outstanding: Social Media Playbook current contents; launch toolkit current contents; FDD Item 6 A&M Fee amount; FDD Item 11 / FA §12 Start-Up Advertising spend; FA Local Marketing Spend specifics; Partner Portal paid digital threshold.


Resolution process

When primary sources become available:

  1. SME (named in Resolver column) reviews the claim against the primary source
  2. Status updated to verified, corrected, or removed
  3. If corrected: the module file is updated, the change is logged in that module’s Section 12 (Change log) with a new version number
  4. If removed: the claim is cut from the module and the module’s Section 12 reflects the cut

Until all rows for a module are verified, referenced, corrected, or removed, that module’s status in the program manifest is “draft pending source verification.” Modules cannot be FDD-Item-11-referenced as final until this log is clean.

Current M01 status: ready for SME review of the four outstanding FA/MSA-dependent claims. Module is otherwise verified against Operations Manual v1.0 Working Draft.


Resolution clusters — for efficient batched sessions

The per-module structure above is the right reference when updating a single module. This section re-groups every outstanding tag into eight resolution clusters that map to single working sessions with named decision-makers. The goal: collapse ~70 individual tags into ~8 meetings rather than 70 conversations.

Cluster A — FA terms (Jim Frank + counsel, ~90 min)

Resolves all FA-primary claims across modules. The Franchise Agreement is the canonical source for every fee amount, every cure period, every attachment, and every standards-of-conduct provision that the Manual deliberately defers (Manual §2.1.2, §5.5, §3.4, §15 all defer to FA).

  • FA §5 fee structure: rate, base, calculation method (M01.OUT.04, M13)
  • FA §5 fee amounts: Royalty Fee, Audit Fee, Transfer Fee, Renewal Fee, Relocation Fee, Development Extension Fee, Development Transfer Fee, A&M Fee, Local Marketing Spend (M02.OUT.01, M04.OUT.01, M04.OUT.02, M08, M13, M15)
  • FA §5.7 Sinking Fund monthly deposit amount (M13)
  • FA cure periods for default categories (M02.OUT.02, M05.OUT.03)
  • FA §6 records and audits, including Audit Fee threshold (M13)
  • FA §10 Transfer mechanics + Right of First Refusal language (M15)
  • FA §§13–14 Insurance + Indemnification (M14)
  • FA §§15–17 Termination provisions (M15)
  • FA §11 Marks-usage text (M03.OUT.01)
  • FA §12 Start-Up Advertising spend (M08)
  • FA Renewal notice window (M15)
  • FA Attachment A — Search Area + Projected Opening Date language (M04.OUT.03)
  • FA Attachment D — Lease Addendum + Collateral Assignment of Lease (M01.OUT.02, M05.OUT.01)
  • FA Attachment E — SBA Addendum (M05.OUT.02)
  • FA-side DBM approval mechanics (M09)
  • HiON confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement form for non-equity DBMs (M09)
  • HiON vendor agreement templates (M09, M12)

Resolves approximately 20 individual tags.

Cluster B — FDD disclosures (Jim Frank + counsel, ~60 min)

Resolves all FDD-primary claims. Schedule after Cluster A — FDD Items 5, 6, 7 derive from the FA terms resolved in Cluster A, so doing FDD without FA in hand wastes time.

  • FDD Item 5 (Initial Fees) (multiple modules)
  • FDD Item 6 (Other Fees — including every event-based fee in Cluster A) (multiple modules)
  • FDD Item 7 (Initial Investment ranges — updated for Option 2 training program length) (M04.OUT.06)
  • FDD Item 11 (Franchisee Training Program — resolved, see Item-11-Decision-Memo.md + Item-11-Input-for-Counsel.md + Assessment-Format.md)
  • FDD Item 13 Marks-related disclosures (M03.OUT.02)
  • FDD Item 19 Financial Performance Representations (M04.OUT.05)

Resolves approximately 8 individual tags. Cluster A is a prerequisite.

Cluster C — MSA mechanics (Jim Frank + Joe Frank, ~60 min)

Resolves all MSA-primary claims. The Master Services Agreement is the canonical source for the HiON–franchisee operational mechanics (False Call-Out, Uptime Guarantee, Excuse Events, settlement, senior management referral, formal dispute).

  • MSA articles covering equipment, maintenance, uptime (M01.OUT.03)
  • MSA False Call-Out specific mechanics (M07, M10)
  • MSA Acceptance Testing procedure (M07)
  • MSA Uptime Guarantee mechanics (M10)
  • MSA Excuse Events specific definitions (M10)
  • MSA senior-management referral 20-day mechanics (M02.OUT.03)
  • MSA formal dispute resolution venue / procedure (Kansas City, KS arbitration mechanics) (M02.OUT.04)
  • Settlement cadence — when HiON pays the franchisee (FA + MSA cross-reference) (M01.OUT.01)

Resolves approximately 10 individual tags.

Cluster D — Partner Portal brand and site assets (Tony Cuomo, ~45 min)

Resolves all Portal-asset claims in brand, site design, and launch.

  • HiON Site Design Manual specifications (illuminance, pavement/striping, ice-melt compatibility) (M03.OUT.04, M06, M07, M10, M14)
  • HiON Site Design Manual utility upgrade threshold (M04.OUT.04, M06, M07)
  • HiON Brand Asset Library current assets (M03.OUT.03, M08)
  • Social Media Playbook current contents (M08)
  • Launch toolkit current contents (M03.OUT.05, M07, M08)
  • Partner Portal Site Host briefing template (M05.OUT.04)

Resolves approximately 8 individual tags.

Cluster E — Partner Portal operations assets (Joe Frank, ~45 min)

Resolves all Portal-asset claims in vendor management, customer support, and incident reporting.

  • Preferred-vendor lists by region/scope (M06, M07, M09, M12)
  • Disqualified-vendor list (M12)
  • Vendor agreement templates + vendor-qualification questionnaire (M12)
  • Customer-interaction log template (M11)
  • Site Host Enforcement Briefing (M11)
  • HiON-approved sponsorship mechanism specifics (M11)
  • Incident Report form (M14)
  • Partner Portal security protocols for verification (M14)

Resolves approximately 8 individual tags.

Cluster F — Manual Appendices and records (Joe Lewis, ~30 min)

Resolves all Manual-Appendix-dependent and records-retention-specifics claims.

  • Operations Manual Appendices A–F current contents (M02, M07, M14, M15)
  • Manual Appendix B Build Checklists specifically (M06, M07)
  • Records retention specific periods where Manual defers to FA (M02.OUT.05, §15.6)

Resolves approximately 6 individual tags.

Cluster G — Finance and reporting (Joe Lewis or finance designate, ~30 min)

Resolves all Portal-asset claims in finance/reporting.

  • HiON chart of accounts and reporting taxonomy current publication (M13)
  • Monthly financial summary template (M13)
  • FA Local Marketing Spend specifics (overlap with Cluster A — close in Cluster A) (M08)
  • Partner Portal paid digital threshold (M08)

Resolves approximately 4 individual tags.

Cluster H — Lifecycle templates (Joe Lewis or counsel, ~30 min)

Resolves all Portal templates for lifecycle events.

  • Expansion Feasibility Submittal template (M15)
  • Closure Plan template (M15)
  • Relocation Submittal template (M15)

Resolves approximately 3 individual tags.


  1. Cluster A (FA terms) — first, because FDD Item 5/6/7 and most other disclosures derive from FA terms.
  2. Cluster B (FDD disclosures) — second, once FA terms are locked.
  3. Cluster C (MSA mechanics) — can run in parallel with A or B; not dependent on them.
  4. Clusters D–H (Portal assets + Manual appendices) — can run in any order once a session with the relevant resolver is available; mostly independent of A/B/C.

Total committed time, all clusters: approximately 5–6 hours of working sessions distributed across 4–5 decision-makers (Jim Frank, counsel, Joe Frank, Tony Cuomo, Joe Lewis). Spreads cleanly across two weeks if calendared promptly.

After all clusters close: every [CONFIRM] tag in this log resolves to verified / corrected / removed / referenced, each affected module’s Section 12 (change log) is updated, and the program enters “v1.0 Franchisee Training Program Curriculum” status — ready to be referenced as final in FDD Item 11.
