Document Control ================================================================================ 1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE ================================================================================ This document is Section 4.1 of the Daralbeida Business Plan. It defines the management functions distributed across the lean contracted structure, specifies the owner and scope of each function, and documents the operational systems that support all functions. It also defines the hiring roadmap triggered by volume and channel milestones. The architecture is designed to be founder-directed but not founder-dependent at the operational level. Every contracted function operates against written SOPs and can be transitioned to a different provider or brought in-house without disrupting the business. ================================================================================ 2. ARCHITECTURE PRINCIPLE ================================================================================ Daralbeida operates through a defined set of management functions distributed across a lean contracted structure. Each function has a clear owner, a defined scope, and documented operating procedures. The architecture is designed to be founder-directed but not founder-dependent at the operational level — every contracted function operates against written SOPs and can be transitioned without disrupting the business. ================================================================================ 3. EXECUTIVE FUNCTION ================================================================================ The executive function holds overall strategic authority and final decision rights across all three entities in the legal structure. It is responsible for brand direction, sourcing strategy, investor relations, and the qualification of all primary suppliers. The executive function also holds the FDA US Agent designation for Daralbeida Maroc SARL under 21 CFR 1.227, serving as the mandatory point of contact for all FDA communications directed at the foreign facility. All compliance program ownership — FSVP, FSMA, MAFTA duty claims, ISF filing authority, and Importer of Record designation — sits at this level within Daralbeida Brands LLC. ================================================================================ 4. LEGAL AND TRADE COMPLIANCE FUNCTION ================================================================================ Engaged as a contracted specialist in food import law. Scope covers FDA regulatory compliance, FSVP program structure and documentation, FSMA adherence, USPTO trademark prosecution, CBP classification and entry, MAFTA duty exemption management, and international trade documentation. This function operates in active execution mode — not advisory. It is the primary interface between the company and US regulatory and customs authorities on all import matters. ================================================================================ 5. MOROCCO FIELD OPERATIONS FUNCTION ================================================================================ Based in Morocco, operating within Daralbeida Maroc SARL. Responsible for: 1. Day-to-day producer communication 2. Sample kit dispatch and receipt 3. CDR OxiTester preliminary screening coordination 4. ONSSA and EACCE liaison 5. Moroccan Chamber of Commerce coordination for Certificates of Origin 6. In-field quality supervision 7. Export documentation chain management Fluency in Darija, French, Spanish, and English is a functional requirement — the four languages covering the full supply chain from Moroccan producers through the Tanger export corridor to US-side logistics partners in Los Angeles. This function executes against DAB-SOP-SOURCING-001 and reports to the executive function on all supplier qualification decisions. ================================================================================ 6. CASABLANCA SENSORY EVALUATION FUNCTION ================================================================================ A contracted position within the Morocco field operations layer. Responsible for conducting informal preliminary sensory evaluation of producer samples received at the Daralbeida Maroc SARL Casablanca office, prior to Eurofins submission. Evaluates against the Daralbeida defect protocol: presence of fruitiness, absence of defined defects, varietal character alignment with Picholine Marocaine. Results are entered into the producer tracking system and inform the Phase 3 gate decision under DAB-SOP-SOURCING-001. The position requires trained organoleptic assessment capability. Each engagement is documented in the producer record. ================================================================================ 7. QUALITY SYSTEMS FUNCTION ================================================================================ Operates across both the Morocco and US entities. In Morocco: responsible for CDR OxiTester field testing at Gate 1 — measuring free fatty acid content, peroxide value, and polyphenol concentration at the mill before any shipment is authorized. In the US: responsible for coordinating Gate 2 accredited laboratory analysis through Eurofins CAL (oliveoiltest.com, Salinas CA) and for maintaining the relationship with the contracted sensory consultant responsible for the Daralbeida House Profile calibration and annual recalibration. All quality testing results, sensory evaluation records, and COAs are entered into the Daralbeida tracking system and retained for a minimum of three years per FSMA traceability requirements. This function executes against DAB-SQP-001 (Sensory Quality Protocol) and the two-gate QC architecture documented in DAB-TS-2026-01. ================================================================================ 8. AMAZON AND CHANNEL MARKETING FUNCTION ================================================================================ Contracted specialist with demonstrated experience in premium food and beverage FBA operations. Responsible for Amazon Seller Central management, listing copywriting and A+ content, PPC campaign strategy and execution, Subscribe and Save program management, review velocity monitoring, and specialty retail outreach as the B2B channel develops. Operates against Amazon performance metrics reviewed monthly by the executive function. ================================================================================ 9. LOGISTICS FUNCTION ================================================================================ Split across two contracted providers. The freight forwarder manages Morocco-side ocean booking from FOB Casablanca, ISF filing coordination, bill of lading management, and marine cargo insurance. The US 3PL (Los Angeles area, food-grade certified, FBA-prep qualified) manages inbound container receipt, damage documentation, FNSKU labeling where not completed at source, and Amazon inbound shipment plan execution. Both providers operate against written logistics SOPs and are coordinated by the executive function on each shipment cycle. ================================================================================ 10. FINANCIAL FUNCTION ================================================================================ Contracted CPA and bookkeeper maintaining entity-level accounts for both Daralbeida Brands LLC and Daralbeida Maroc SARL. Responsible for P&L reporting, California and Delaware tax compliance, inter-entity transaction documentation, and investor reporting. Financial reporting follows a monthly close cycle with quarterly investor summaries. ================================================================================ 11. OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS ================================================================================ All functions operate against a common documentation backbone: 1. SOPs maintained in four languages (French, English, Spanish, Darija) 2. Web-form-fed producer tracking spreadsheet 3. DAB_Lot_Record traceability system 4. Compliance document archive covering: FSVP supplier verification files Eurofins COAs Sensory evaluation records Shipment documentation System access and data entry responsibilities are assigned by function and documented in each relevant SOP. ================================================================================ 12.
