Design partners
Deploy one audited workflow. Shape the substrate.
The engagement is paid, bounded, and evidence-producing: we deploy one high-value audited workflow inside your perimeter, with a dedicated engineer, and you shape the platform during productization.
§ 01 What you get
A workflow in production, and the evidence to defend the deployment.
The point of a design partnership is a real outcome in your environment, not a trial license.
A deployed audited workflow
We stand the substrate up inside your perimeter and put one high-value workflow into production under governance, with a dedicated engineer who onboards your operators and stays through enablement.
The evidence your examiners need
When your auditor or regulator asks what the agents did, you have the record, not a reconstruction.
Influence on the platform
Your real requirements shape the roadmap. Capabilities you need become product capabilities, not one-off custom code.
Design-partner terms
Bounded scope, a defined end state, and pricing structured for an early partner rather than a list-price customer.
§ 02 What we get
An honest exchange, stated up front.
A design partnership is a trade, and we would rather name our side of the exchange than pretend the engagement is charity.
A real production validation
One genuine deployment in a real environment is worth more than a hundred demos.
The right to generalize
We retain the right to turn non-confidential learning from the engagement into reusable platform capability. Your confidential data and workflows stay yours; the general patterns make the product stronger for everyone.
A reference, where permitted
When you are willing and able, a reference or case study. Never required, never assumed, and only what you approve.
§ 03 The motion
Evaluation, to bounded pilot, to design partner.
Three stages, sized to your commitment.
§ 04 Who fits
Here is the fit.
A strong fit looks like this:
- 01A material governed-AI problem that is already costly or blocking a deployment.
- 02An executive sponsor who can authorize a pilot, and a technical owner who can deploy.
- 03A risk or control owner who needs attribution, reconstruction, approval, or recovery.
- 04Access to a real workflow and the evidence around it.
- 05Willingness to give structured feedback and a defined budget.
