What is per-franchisee accountability views — and what is the FDD-Item-17-termination-times-Franchise-Relationship-Rule problem distinctive to this skill?

A franchisor with 50-1,000 franchisees needs per-franchisee accountability views: per-franchisee KPI scorecard (revenue + same-store-sales + customer-satisfaction + brand-compliance audit + secret shopper + Net Promoter Score + Yelp/GBP rating + per-marketing-channel ROI + per-location operations) + per-franchisee royalty audit + per-franchisee fee reconciliation + per-franchisee dispute-resolution + per-franchisee territory adjustment + per-franchisee renewal decision + per-franchisee transfer + per-franchisee termination per FDD Item 17 + per-franchisee non-renewal + per-franchisee cure period. The four-skill bundle on the franchise-ops agent — Aggregate, Score, Gate, Audit — sits above the per-franchisee CRM (Salesforce + HubSpot + Pipedrive + Zoho + Dynamics 365) + franchise-management (FranConnect + Naranga + ServiceBridge + Franchise Dynamics + FranchiseSoft) + BI (Tableau + Looker + Sigma + Mode + ThoughtSpot + Hex) + warehouse (Snowflake + BigQuery + Databricks) substrate and writes a per-franchisee canonical record. The operationally distinctive anchor: FDD Item 17 renewal/termination/transfer per FTC Franchise Rule 16 CFR 436 + 21-state Franchise Relationship Rule (Arkansas + California + Connecticut + Delaware + Hawaii + Illinois + Indiana + Iowa + Michigan + Minnesota + Mississippi + Missouri + Nebraska + New Jersey + Puerto Rico + Rhode Island + South Dakota + Virgin Islands + Virginia + Washington + Wisconsin) + per-state good cause + per-state cure period (30-90 days) + per-state right to cure + per-state non-renewal notice + per-state termination notice + per-state mediation + per-state arbitration + per-state forum-selection. AI-ML accountability scoring that drives renewal/termination decisions creates ECOA + Title VII + EU AI Act Article 22 + Annex III exposure.

What does this skill connect to on the franchise-ops agent and across the swarm?

On the franchise-ops agent: franchise-ops (parent commercial pillar) + per-jurisdiction compliance multi-state franchise (sibling build-pillar) + per-prospect franchise territory analysis pipeline (#583 sibling). Across the swarm: continuous foot-traffic ingestion (#572) + per-location cannibalization defense (#580 same Sherman Act + Colgate substrate) + buyer-state-aware BANT scoring (#568 same ECOA + EU AI Act substrate) + governance-decision-router five-destination routing + master-record. Build-pillar siblings: tiered pre-filter deterministic gates for AI content compliance + marketing AI autonomy profile configuration + per-vertical compliance overlay + per-location PPC bid + budget management (#577 same SOX substrate). Commercial-pillar parent: /multi-location-franchise-operations.

What does the 6-workstream pre-engagement-baseline reporting cycle look like for this skill?

Every two weeks during the Tier 3 Fractional CMO with AI Swarm engagement, six workstreams report against the pre-engagement baseline. Workstream 1: per-portfolio per-franchisee coverage — franchisees enrolled + per-franchisee CRM + franchise-management + BI + warehouse attestation + Franchise Agreement clause + per-state Franchise Relationship Rule applicability. Workstream 2: Aggregate per-franchisee KPI flow — revenue + same-store-sales + customer-satisfaction + brand-compliance + secret shopper + NPS + Yelp/GBP rating + per-marketing-channel ROI + per-location operations + per-franchisee royalty + advertising fund. Workstream 3: Score per-franchisee severity tier distribution — per-franchisee P0/P1/P2/P3/P4 + Colgate doctrine attestation. Workstream 4: Gate-pass/gate-fail distribution — per-anchor gate-fail + FDD Item 17 + 21-state Franchise Relationship Rule + Sherman Act defensibility + ECOA + Title VII + EU AI Act. Workstream 5: Regulatory-defense audit coverage — FDD Item 17 + 21-state Franchise Relationship Rule + Sherman Act + Clayton + Colgate + ECOA + Title VII + FCRA + SOX + EU AI Act Article 22 + Annex III + per-state cure period + per-state notice. Workstream 6: FBC feedback-loop pattern-learning — per-franchisee realized-vs-predicted performance + per-state enforcement-update + per-jurisdiction franchise-rule update.
