VenueGuard — multi-tenant venue compliance
Vertical SaaS that turns the FRA/event-plan tedium into a guided flow with auto-generated docs.
Smaller venues either pay £1k+ per event for a consultant or fudge their paperwork and hope for the best.
Multi-tenant control plane + tenant API. Magic-link auth, Stripe billing, per-tenant data isolation. Document generation uses templates + a small LLM step for the genuinely freeform sections.
Drafts narrative sections of the FRA from structured inputs; humans always review and edit.
Defined the legal-grade templates (in collaboration with a fire safety consultant) and the review workflow.
Live with paying tenants; reusable pattern for any vertical SaaS we build next.
Early version let the LLM write entire risk assessments. A safety pro reviewed one and politely set it on fire. Now AI only drafts justifications, never identifies the risks themselves.
AI for the freeform-prose 10%; humans + templates for the load-bearing 90%.
- 01Compliance work is template work. Don't reach for AI before you've templated.
- 02Vertical SaaS lives or dies on the buyer trusting the output. AI doing too much breaks that trust instantly.
- 03Magic-link + Stripe + Postgres covers ~80% of vertical-SaaS plumbing.
