Build knowledge-base products, not publish pipelines

Consultants, Obsidian teams, and subject-matter experts use TPS Report to codify reports, publish member-gated collections with public teasers, and power agent chat on a Graph RAG–indexed corpus — Layer 1 publish + Layer 2 AI brain in one platform.

Member-gated KB portals Graph RAG metadata Optional Obsidian sync

Why KB builders hit a wall

Publish Stack Fragmentation

Obsidian for writing, Quartz for static HTML, Stripe for gating, a RAG pipeline for chat — four tools, four failure points before your KB product ships.

Flat Docs, Dumb Retrieval

GitBook and generic RAG treat every page equally. Agents pull wrong chunks, miss canonical sources, and hallucinate when context is ambiguous.

Expertise Trapped in Vaults

Your best reports live in Obsidian or Notion — private, unindexed, unmonetized. Turning expertise into a product means months of custom engineering.

Why TPS Report is different

Codify Once, Publish & Index

Author in the online editor or sync from Obsidian. Graph RAG metadata (hyde_questions, defers_to, canonical_for) travels with every report.

Gated KB Products

Public previews for SEO, member-only reports for depth, and a built-in signup funnel—readers return to the same page unlocked. Ship a monetized portal without wiring auth yourself.

Layer 2: AI Brain Included

Chat and agents retrieve from your published corpus — not a file dump. Metadata routing tells agents which report is canonical and which to skip.

Build vs. stitch-together

DIY: SSG + RAG + gating

Obsidian / MD authoring setup 8 hours
Quartz / Astro static pipeline 24 hours
Auth, plans, paywall 40 hours
RAG ingest + chunk tuning 32 hours
Agent chat UI + hosting 24 hours
Total: ~128 hours ($12,800+) before first KB product

With TPS Report

Codify reports + metadata 4 hours
Publish + member gate + funnel 1 hour
Index + Graph RAG routing automatic
Enable chat on corpus 1 hour
Client handoff / subscriber launch 2 hours
Total: ~8 hours to live KB product

Result: ship KB products, not infrastructure projects

Consultants productize expertise instead of maintaining publish pipelines. Same margin on delivery — less ops drag.
