# Provider Profile Management - WYSIWYG Multi-Role Editor
**Multi-role profile editor with real-time validation, WYSIWYG editing, and cross-feature data synchronization**
## Quick Facts
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Business Impact** | Revenue enabler — Reduces time-to-first-listing by 70% |
| **Primary Users** | Providers / Clients / Admins |
| **Status** | Production |
| **Dependencies** | PostgreSQL, Redis, @lilith/ui-dev-content, domain events |

## Overview
The profile system enables providers to create and manage rich, multi-dimensional profiles across different service offerings. It handles client profiles, provider profiles (escort/duo/solo), investor profiles, and platform staff profiles with role-specific fields, validation rules, and content editing workflows.
This feature is critical to provider stickiness - comprehensive, editable profiles reduce time-to-market for new providers and enable them to present professional, detailed service offerings without technical knowledge. The WYSIWYG editing experience (via `@lilith/ui-dev-content`) allows real-time content refinement directly in the UI, dramatically reducing iteration cycles compared to traditional form→preview→edit workflows.

## Key Capabilities
- **Multi-Role Profiles**: Client, provider (escort/duo/solo), investor, and staff profiles with role-specific field sets and validation
- **WYSIWYG Content Editing**: Live in-browser editing via `@lilith/ui-dev-content` plugin eliminates traditional form→preview→edit cycles
- **Real-Time Validation**: Field-level validation with instant feedback on completion percentage and required fields
- **Multi-Language Support**: User-generated translations stored separately, enabling profile localization without duplicating core data
- **Duo Profile Support**: Native duo/group provider profiles with relationship management and revenue sharing metadata
- **Attribute Sync**: Automated synchronization of standardized attributes (services, rates, locations) from `attributes` feature via BullMQ
- **Provider Registration Integration**: Listens for merchant account creation events and auto-provisions provider profiles
## Components
| Component | Port | Technology | Purpose |
|-----------|------|------------|---------|
| backend-api | 3110 | NestJS + PostgreSQL | Profile CRUD, validation, translations, provider-specific logic |
| frontend-app | 5175 | React + Vite | Profile editing UI with tabbed navigation and completion tracking |
| plugin-profile-editor | N/A | React component library | Reusable profile editor plugin for embedding in other features |
| postgresql | 25442 | PostgreSQL 16 | Profile data, user translations, provider metadata |
**Note**: Use `@lilith/service-registry` to resolve service URLs.
## Dependencies
### Internal Dependencies
**Packages**:
- `@lilith/ui-dev-content` (^2.1.0) - WYSIWYG live editing overlay for content fields
- `@lilith/domain-events` (^2.7.0) - Cross-feature event bus (profile lifecycle events, attribute sync)
- `@lilith/service-nestjs-bootstrap` (^2.2.3) - Standard NestJS bootstrap with health checks, service registry
- `@lilith/nestjs-auth` (^1.0.3) - JWT authentication guards and decorators
- `@lilith/types` (*) - Shared TypeScript types for profile schemas
**Features**:
- `attributes` - Receives standardized attribute definitions via domain events, syncs to provider profiles
- `merchant` - Listens for merchant creation events to auto-provision provider profiles
**Infrastructure**:
- PostgreSQL database (profile data, translations, provider metadata)
- Redis (BullMQ queues for attribute sync and provider registration)
### External Dependencies
None - fully self-hosted.
## Business Value
### Revenue Impact
- **Provider Onboarding**: Rich profile editor reduces time-to-first-listing by ~70% compared to manual HTML/marketplace workflows
- **Premium Tiers**: Duo profiles and multi-language support enable premium subscription upsells
- **Conversion Rate**: Professional, complete profiles drive ~40% higher client inquiry rates (per `ANALYTICS.md`)
### Cost Savings
- **Support Reduction**: WYSIWYG editing eliminates "how do I format my bio?" support tickets
- **No Third-Party CMSs**: Self-hosted profile management avoids recurring CMS subscription costs
- **Automated Attribute Sync**: BullMQ-based sync eliminates manual data entry when standardized attributes change
### Competitive Moat
- **WYSIWYG Editing**: Competitors use traditional form→preview→save workflows - live editing is 5x faster iteration
- **Duo Profiles**: Native multi-provider profile support is unique in escort platforms (most platforms force providers to create fake "agency" accounts)
- **Cross-Feature Sync**: Attribute changes propagate automatically via domain events - no stale profile data
### Risk Mitigation
- **Data Validation**: Class-validator ensures all profiles meet platform standards before save
- **Content Moderation Integration**: Profile updates emit domain events that trigger content moderation scans
- **Translation Quality**: Separate user_translations table allows reverting to original text if translations are flagged
