B2B SaaS: Client Portal using Django

Summary

A client portal blueprint for B2B SaaS built with Django on Ample. Domain schema:

• customer_workspaces (name, plan, seat_count, created_at): customer tenants;
• workspace_members (workspace_id, email, role): members and roles per workspace;
• doc_versions (product_version, title, object_key, published_at): versioned product documentation;
• customer_assets (workspace_id, title, object_key, visibility): assets scoped to one customer;
• document_access (document_id, principal_reference, role, granted_at): who may read which document.

Public information includes product documentation by version, pricing and plan comparison, status, and changelog. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: customer data inside workspaces, usage and billing records, support attachments.
