SWTP — Living Roadmap¶
What this page is — strategic memory for SWTP
The single source of truth for SWTP: why we believe what we believe (research), how we win (strategy), what we expect (targets), what actually happened (return), reviewed on a cadence (report). Every fire gets triaged against this — direction that persists, not tasks that scatter.
Markers: 🟢 Confirmed · 🟡 Assumption · 🔴 Gap · 🎯 Target. Watching them move is the roadmap working.
Group thesis: own "water truck" in Phoenix — rent (SWTR) → buy (SEQ) → maintain (SWTP), one customer, one asset class, no vendor change at any stage. SWTP is the maintain leg. Narrative depth → entity page.
0 · MARKET RESEARCH & ANALYSIS — the why¶
- What the market is — 🟢 online + walk-in new-parts counter for water trucks (pumps, spray heads, valves) serving construction fleets, water-truck operators, dust-control contractors. Catalog 56 parts, $47–$1,295. Store live; first online order July 2026 🟢.
- The edge — 🟢 only AI-assisted parts counter in the market; competitors are static catalogs. Encoded fitment rules (e.g. clockwise vs counter-clockwise pump rotations sold as separate SKUs) prevent the market's #1 returns problem — knowledge competitors don't enforce.
- Direct competitor — 🟢 a local shop ~3 miles away sells identical products at identical prices. We do not win on price or product → we win on knowledge, speed, experience.
- Adjacent competitive read (from the 2026-09-07 water-truck research) — 🟢 J&S Truck & Equipment (Mesa) builds/sells/rents water trucks but has no parts store or catalog — an opening: they repair, we can supply. Bare-rental players (Madco et al.) don't sell parts either.
- Demand baseline — 🟢 16 SWTP leads all-time (last 2026-09-05) in the warehouse. The binding constraint is demand, not tooling (IT-CRM verified 2026-09-06).
- 🔴 Gaps: addressable Phoenix water-truck-parts $ market; supplier-concentration exposure on some pump lines; whether fleet-account (recurring) vs walk-in (transactional) is the bigger pool.
1 · SALES & GO-TO-MARKET — the how¶
- Customer 🟢 — construction fleets + water-truck operators + dust-control contractors; fleet-account buyers (recurring) and walk-in retail.
- Positioning 🟢 — "same part, same price as the shop down the road — but we know which one actually fits your truck, and you get it same day." Knowledge + speed, not price.
- Channels — storefront
superiorwatertruckparts.com(ships lower-48) + same-day will-call; AI parts phone agent 602-217-0488 (🟢 live — do not reroute without IT-Phone). - Marketing — 🟢 owned by IT-CRM/GHL as of 2026-09-06 (prior sales/marketing plans
superseded). Three GHL sub-accounts planned;
ghl-bridgecaptures → ATG Central CRM stays system of record. 🔴 Blocker: SWTP email borrowsmail.cactustruckparts.comwhich has no MX → customer replies bounce. Fix gates deliverability. - Play for the year 🎯 — grow the catalog + fleet accounts; convert the AI-counter edge into demand capture (the binding constraint); cross-sell from SEQ/SWTR customers (the maintain leg).

3 · RETURN — actuals (the books)¶
Fed monthly after close. No hand-typed numbers. — = pipeline not yet wired.
| KPI | 🎯 Target | Actual | Variance | As of | Source / status |

4 · REPORT — monthly review (the loop)¶
Diff Expectations vs Return → name misses → set actions → append dated entry to the decision log.

5 · AI LAYER — how AI serves SWTP's goals¶
- AI parts counter = the differentiator (only one in market) → keep encoding fitment knowledge.
- GHL marketing build (IT-CRM) → capture the demand that's the binding constraint.
ghl-bridge(SEQ-WWW): GHL → normalize → ATG Central CRM (identity +qb_customer_idlink).- AI KPI: demand captured (leads) and returns-avoided (fitment) attributable to the AI counter.
How AI uses this page¶
Direction for every SWTP-facing agent. Work traces to an Expectations row; Return says if it moved; Report recalibrates monthly; and every 🔴 marker is standing to-do (email MX fix, target-setting, addressable-market research). The persistent memory that keeps work pointed at outcomes.
