// Who you're actually hiring
Not a sales team. The two operators who do the work.

What you keep on Day 91.
Not a deck. Not a “phase two proposal.” Actual working software running on your own machine, owned by your team.
Book a scoping call- All agent code in a Git repository your team controls
- Harness installed on your laptop — local-first, nothing in our cloud
- Admin credentials transferred to your team — we delete ours at handoff
- One-page spec for every agent: what it does, who owns it, how to fix it
- Full runbook covering architecture, failure modes, and how to extend
- A written list of the next 5 agents we'd build — with effort estimates, yours to use
Three things we build.
Every engagement produces all three. The mix shifts based on where your team is drowning.
01
The Engagement
$3,500 / month
Month to month · early-cohort rate
The Embed
We work inside your business — mapping the workflows that eat your team's time, building automations that handle them, and training your people to run and extend them. Month to month while we build. Most teams have agents in production within weeks.
- Full workflow audit and opportunity mapping
- Custom agents built on your actual stack
- Live in production — not demos, not staging
- Team training, runbooks, complete handoff
We price low to start because we'd rather grow with you than charge what the work is worth on day one. Early-cohort rate, locked while you're with us — it goes up for future clients.

The Platform
Free
Open · MIT licensed · no ongoing fees
Harness — free, and yours
Installed on your machine during the Embed. A local-first AI workforce framework — open, modifiable, running on your own Claude Max subscription. You own the folder outright. We leave it behind.
- Runs on your laptop — Mac or Windows
- Nothing leaves your machine — no data in our cloud or anyone else's
- LLM calls go through your own subscription and quota
- Modify or extend it without our involvement
03
Ongoing
$3,500 / month
Cancel any month · no lock-in
Ongoing — optional
When the build is done, keep us on to add agents and tune what's running. Same rate. No notice period, no lock-in.
- New agents as your business grows
- Monthly performance review and tuning
- Priority support from the team that built yours
- Cancel any month, no notice required
What moves the price
Map → Build → Hand off.
No phase-two proposal at the end. The handoff is the point.
01
Map
We document every workflow and rank a build list by hours saved per dollar. You approve before we write a line.
02
Build
Top automations ship to production first. Shadow, then supervised, then autonomous. Working software early, not at the deadline.
03
Hand off
Admin credentials transferred, runbook delivered, your team ships an agent without us in the room.
// Your commitment
What we need from you.
We embed with one operator on your team. Here's what their time looks like across the engagement.
// Total: roughly 18 hours of team time across the full build
6–8 hrs
Founder
Discovery interviews and workflow review
1 hr each
Team
4–8 team members, one session apiece
~30 min/wk
Founder
Go / no-go calls only
~2 hrs/wk
Team
One point person for standups and output review
1 hr
Founder
Exit call — that's it
~4 hrs/wk
Team
2–4 trainees doing the work, not watching
Who this is for
- DTC and ecommerce operators growing toward $2M–$50M
- Teams drowning in repetitive, rules-based workflows
- Companies already on a real stack — Shopify or Woo, Klaviyo, GA4
- Operators who want to own the system, not rent a vendor
Who this isn't for
- Pre-revenue brands still finding product-market fit
- Enterprises over $50M with internal AI teams already building
- Anyone looking for a tool subscription instead of working infrastructure
- Teams that want us to run it forever — we build it to leave

The guarantee
If your team doesn't have automations running on real production workflows by the end of month two, we keep working at our cost until they do.
We build this way on purpose — agents ship in production within weeks, not at the finish line. The clause exists because we stand behind the timeline, not because we expect to invoke it.
About Harness.
Harness is a local-first AI workforce framework — a native desktop app, an embedded SQLite store, and a small HTTP automation port that your mobile devices and external tools hit. It runs on your laptop, Mac or Windows, not ours. Agents are template-instantiated personas with file-backed memory, projects, and self-evolving skills. They drive Claude Code through your own Max subscription, on your own quota. We install it on your machine during the engagement, a Steward agent runs each morning to keep the project board honest, and everything the agents touch lives under one folder you own outright.

Whatever else eats your team's time
Questions we get on every call.
Real answers. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you on the call.
Book the callThe Embed is $3,500/month while we build, and ongoing support after handoff is $3,500/month — optional, cancel any month. Harness itself is free and yours to keep. This is an early-cohort rate: it's deliberately low because we'd rather grow with you, and it's locked while you're with us. Future clients will pay more. The scoping call ends with a clear picture of scope and timeline.
Roughly 18 hours of total team time across the full build. Most of it is up front — discovery interviews and workflow mapping. During the build, it's about 2 hours a week from one point person and a short go/no-go call from the founder. At handoff, it's your trainees doing the work while we watch, then us stepping out.
If your team doesn't have at least three automations running on real production workflows by the end of month two, we keep working at our cost until they do. No additional invoice. We build to ship early, so the clause is there because we mean it, not because we expect to use it.
Tell us what's broken.
30 minutes. We'll ask what eats your team's time and tell you, on the call, whether we can help. No follow-up sequence. No pitch deck. If it's not a fit, you get the next hour of your day back.
