Your five notes, drawn. Free taste at the top, every toy visible but locked, one gate in the middle that only real agents fit through - brokers bounce - and the keys only for agents who work with us. Your two questions (commission split, dialer numbers) are researched and answered in card 6.
Where every agent page goes. Old copies die as redirects into the funnel.
absorbs: ng_agent_cave · ng_broker_cave · ng_leaderboard · agents/look-yourself-up — runs on the SAME leaderboard data, read-only slice
your note 2 word for word: they can look, they cannot touch until they work with us
the state publishes the full license list FREE every week, with the license type on every row - that is the agent/broker split you asked for. Backend /agents/api/* is reserved and unbuilt - this is the one piece of real plumbing to build.
verified-but-not-ours stays on rank-only. Keys = signed with us. Same engines the partner uses - nothing new to build here, only the lock
your note 5. Every request lands in the notes queue with their name on it
residential: no fee field in the MLS since Aug 2024; the signed buyer agreement + seller concession is how we get paid - no deal with the listing agent needed before showing. Commercial: fee agreement with the listing broker BEFORE the showing - confirm the exact form with Dan N. Full receipts: AGENTS_DOOR_PLAN.md
Mark this up. On your go the build order is: the gate first (it unlocks everything), then the live rank hook, then the locks.
