TL;DR / Featured snippet: RevOps wins when messy communication turns into clean, shareable evidence. Move emails, Slack threads and call notes into a single client Space with pages, files, client-visible tasks, a knowledge base, permission-aware AI answers, and sharing history. In Dokky, clients open a password-protected link rather than creating an account, so adoption is easy. If you want this out of the box, try dokky.io.
What “evidence” means in revenue operations
Evidence is anything that proves progress without needing a meeting:
The current plan and status
The latest file with version history
Decisions and approvals with timestamps
Client-visible tasks with owners and due dates
KB articles that answer repeat questions
Sharing history that shows who viewed what and when
A client portal turns evidence into links you can drop into calendar invites, QBR decks and deal reviews.
The Comms-to-Evidence framework (C2E)
1) Capture
Pull the substance out of emails, chats and call notes.
Paste notes into a Space page
Upload the current file once
Convert “can you just…” messages into tasks
2) Structure
Give information a predictable home.
Status page with Summary, Shipped, Risks, Next steps
Decision log with “What we decided, Why, When, Who”
Approval tasks with owner and due date
3) Publish
Share client-safe items in the Space. Keep internal notes private.
Per-client Space with a clear Home
Password-protected link for clients
Least-privilege defaults
4) Prove
Make it auditable.
Timestamps on approvals
Version history on files
Sharing history on pages
5) Instrument
Measure what matters.
Deflection from KB/AI
On-time approvals
Cycle times across stages
You can run the full C2E loop inside dokky.io.
Four RevOps playbooks to deploy
1) Pre-sales Mutual Action Plan that buyers actually use
Page: “Mutual Action Plan” with milestones and anchors
Tasks: Client-visible tasks for each step, owners on both sides
Files: Proposal and security pack pinned on the page
Access: Password-protected Space link in the calendar invite
Outcome: multi-threaded deals run from one URL, not ten threads.
2) Clean handover from AE to CS
Page: Handover brief with goals, scope and stakeholders
KB: Client-specific setup guides inside the Space
Tasks: “Provide access” and “Approve config” with due dates
AI: Summarise discovery notes for the CS lead with citations
Outcome: time-to-value drops because context travels with the work.
3) QBRs that build themselves
Status page: Highlights and shipped items auto-referenced
Decision log: Links become your “evidence” slide
Analytics: Page views, file views and on-time approvals
AI: Drafts an exec summary that cites sources
Outcome: a QBR you lightly edit, not build from scratch.
4) Change and incident communication
Release note page: What changed, why, and impact
Checklist: Rollback or validation steps
Approval task: Sign-off with timestamp
AI: Plain-language explainer for non-technical sponsors
Outcome: fewer follow-ups and clearer accountability.
AI’s job in the evidence loop
Answer with sources from your pages and files
Respect permissions inside each client Space
Convert chats to tasks when action is required
Summarise safely for execs without leaking internal notes
See the assistant approach at dokky.io/ai-chatbot.
Security and access your CFO will sign off
Per-client Spaces with least-privilege sharing
Password-protected links for clients, no account creation
Sharing history and approval timestamps for audits
Private internal notes stay out of the client view
Metrics and dashboards for RevOps
Track a baseline for 30 days, then review at 60 and 90.

Templates to standardise across teams
Mutual Action Plan page with anchors and task links
Status page with Summary, Shipped, Risks, Next steps
Decision log entry format: Decision, Why, Owner, Date, Links
Approval task with owner, due date and short checklist
Incident note with What changed, Impact, Actions required
Ask your teams to start from templates so evidence is consistent across accounts. You can store and reuse them in dokky.io.
Quick start in 60 minutes
Create a client Space and set a clear Home.
Add a Status page and a Decision log.
Pin the current file; archive old versions.
Publish three KB answers you send most often.
Replace this week’s status email with a page link.
Move the next sign-off to an approval task.
Share the password-protected link with your stakeholders.
FAQs
Do clients need an account to see the Space?
No. Share a password-protected link. This keeps access controlled and removes signup friction.
Will this replace our CRM or PM tool?
No. Keep CRM and internal PM for your team. Use the portal for client-facing plans, files, tasks, approvals and knowledge.
How do we keep sensitive notes private?
Use least-privilege defaults and keep internal notes in your CRM or private pages. Publish only client-safe items.
What if AI gives an incomplete answer?
It should cite sources and convert to a task when action is needed. Improve the underlying page or KB article to strengthen future answers.
Final thought
Revenue operations is about clarity and proof. When you turn scattered communication into shareable evidence inside a simple, secure Space, deals move faster, onboarding is calmer and QBRs become obvious. For a clean portal with tasks, knowledge base, grounded AI, file versioning, sharing history and password-protected client access, start with dokky.io.
