Access

Demo first. Paid access after review.

MarketLink should feel simple from the outside: a visitor can request a demo with email only, track progress with their brief ID, and upgrade into a paid workspace once MarketLink approves the account and scope.

1 / Demo

Email-only trial

No password is needed for the first demo. A user submits a brief, receives a brief ID, and gets an immediate confirmation email.

  1. Submit a demand, sourcing, or AI-match brief.
  2. Receive email confirmation in seconds.
  3. Track progress with brief ID plus email.
2 / Paid

Client workspace

Paid users should not enter the raw internal operator desk. They should get an invited client workspace with approved briefs, saved reports, match results, and account status.

  • Access is created after payment or approval.
  • MarketLink sends an invite/password setup email.
  • Client views are limited to approved, client-safe outputs.
Next backend step: create client/member roles and a member dashboard.
3 / Internal

MarketLink desk

The internal desk is for MarketLink owners, admins, analysts, and operators. It controls source review, supplier outreach, AI matching, and approvals.

  • Uses Supabase email and password.
  • Requires a staff role assigned by an owner/admin.
  • Still keeps supplier outreach approval-gated.
