Who this is for

A precise operating owner, not a generic audience.

Responsible buyer

Target Buyer Primary (economic buyer): Owner, GM, or founder of an independent winery producing roughly 1,000–50,000 cases/year that ships wine club and online orders direct to consumers in 10+ states, with no dedicated in-house compliance headcount.

Cost of the gap

Painful Problem Every winery that ships DTC to more than a handful of states must track a different license type, volume cap, tax rate, filing cadence, and product/label rule set per state — and those rules change: three states materially amended DTC shipping law in 2025–2026 alone ( S3 ), and a pending Supreme Court matter adds further uncertainty ( S4 ).

Outcome

The Outcome We Sell A monthly, specialist-released Compliance Desk pack : every active state license verified current (or a renewal already filed), every required excise/sales tax return prepared and filed, every volume cap monitored against actual shipments with an early-warning threshold, and a plain-English risk register showing exactly what changed and what's coming due next.

Decision rule

Proceed only when the source record, service boundary, responsible reviewer, and release criteria can be named before work begins.

Method

The work moves through visible states.

  1. ScopeService Delivery Workflow Winery uploads shipment export + license list via secure portal (or email at MVP).
  2. CollectAI normalizes data and cross-references against the current rules database.
  3. NormalizeDeterministic engine flags volume-cap thresholds, upcoming renewal deadlines, and filing due dates.
  4. ValidateAI drafts the Risk Scan report (lead-magnet) or, for paid clients, the monthly Compliance Desk pack including draft tax filings and renewal packets.
  5. ResolveLicensed compliance specialist reviews every flagged exception and every draft filing/renewal.
  6. ReviewSpecialist obtains client approval where required, then files/submits (or the client submits, where a state requires the license holder to do so personally).
  7. ReleaseClient receives the completed Compliance Desk pack: filed confirmations, license status, and next month's calendar.

Engagement

Buy the reviewed outcome, with boundaries written down.

Pricing Evidence and Proposed Pricing No incumbent discloses exact pricing publicly; U.S. Wine Compliance markets an average client savings claim of $60,000/year from outsourcing (Unverified vendor claim, S7 ), which — even discounted heavily for marketing puffery — signals that compliance-related cost (staff time, penalties, software, consultant fees combined) is material enough for a mid-size winery that a several-hundred-to-low-thousands-per-month recurring fee is a plausible, justifiable spend relative to the status quo.

Service boundary

Automation prepares. A qualified human releases.

CaseClear is an operational documentation and processing service operated by Your Deputy, Obuke LLC. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal, tax, medical, financial, or other licensed professional advice. Consumer and personal debt matters are not accepted. The client retains its licensed professionals and decision authority. Automation may organize and check records, but a qualified human must review and release every client deliverable.

  • Unsupported facts remain unresolved, never inferred into a client deliverable.
  • Jurisdiction-specific or licensed questions are routed to the client's professional.
  • Every correction retains the source, reviewer, version, and reason for change.

Questions

Know the limits before intake.

Is this legal or professional advice?

No. This is bounded operational documentation and processing support. Licensed judgment remains with the client and its professionals.

Does automation make the final decision?

No. It can organize records, run declared checks, and prepare an exception queue. A qualified human reviews and releases every deliverable.

Is a client portal or CRM already active?

This public site does not claim an active portal integration. Portal access is provisioned only after the relevant backend is configured and independently verified.

What happens when evidence conflicts?

The item is placed in an exception state with its sources and owner. It is not silently resolved or presented as verified.
