Landing Page Content (Draft)

Headline: Sovereign DevOps for EU SMEs — without vendor lock-in.

Subhead: Railiance-as-a-Service packages reproducible Kubernetes operations, observability, and FOS-aligned governance so your team can focus on product work instead of founder-only ops.

Proof points:

EU-hostable infrastructure with documented restore drills
GDPR-conscious operations model (data stays under your control)
VSM-based coordination — not another opaque SaaS dashboard
Open-core templates; no mandatory hyperscaler control plane

CTA: Book an architecture review → scoped managed cutover proposal.

Onboarding Workflow

Discovery call — scope workloads, compliance constraints, team size.
Architecture review — map domains, hubs, and OAS substrate requirements.
Provision — deploy k3s cluster (Railiance-managed or customer-owned).
GitOps baseline — ArgoCD apps, secrets custody via OpenBao path.
Observability — Grafana/Loki/Tempo (or customer-preferred stack).
Restore drill — execute and capture evidence within 14 days of go-live.
Hub registration — register repos in dev-hub; ops evidence on Core Hub.
Handover — runbooks, access model, escalation contacts.

Legal and GmbH Framework (Draft — Not Legal Advice)

Topic	v0.1 posture
Entity	Pre-revenue consulting may invoice as founder/freelance; GmbH formation triggered at €10k annual revenue or first managed customer (see bootstrap-protocol).
Liability	Managed tier: liability capped at 12 months fees; exclude indirect/consequential damages; customer maintains data custody.
SLA	Managed: 99.5% control-plane availability monthly; credits capped at 25% monthly fee. Fully operated: negotiable.
Data processing	DPA required for managed/operated tiers; subprocessors listed in canon.
Insurance	Cyber/liability policy review before first external managed customer.

First Customer Acquisition Strategy

Internal dogfood — complete Railiance restore drill + fin-hub runway evidence (docs/evidence/runway-dogfood-2026-07-08.md, regenerate via PYTHONPATH=src uv run finhub evidence --seed-fixtures).
Founder network — 3 architecture review offers to EU technical SMEs with DSGVO pressure.
Consulting wedge — fixed-scope "sovereign ops assessment" (2–5 days) leading to managed tier.
Content — publish restore-drill case study (non-secret evidence only).
Partners — EU hosting/legal partners for GmbH + DPA handoff.
