Design Partner Program · 5 seats

Shape the Recognition-Rigor Framework alongside four other Fortune 500 corporate strategy teams.

Twelve months. $1,999/mo, 20% off the $2,499 Strategy list price. Decision Provenance Records free on every memo. Custom toxic-combination weights tuned to your industry by the founder personally. Your feedback becomes the product.

We charge because each audit runs seventeen LLM calls across twelve specialized nodes and carries real infrastructure cost. Free pilots produce lead attitude, not customer attitude. The 20% concession signals the opposite.

Why now

Three regulatory waves are already in force or on the enforcement calendar — EU AI Act Article 14 record-keeping (high-risk obligations enforceable Aug 2026), SEC AI disclosure rulemaking (2024–2026), and Basel III Pillar 2 ICAAP documentation (live for regulated banks). Each asks for exactly the artifact our Decision Provenance Record produces. Design partners get this built-in from day one, not bolted on after procurement flags the gap.

You receive

The most direct line into the product you can buy right now.

$1,999/mo locked for 12 months
20% off the $2,499 list price for Strategy tier. Locked rate for Year 1. First right of refusal at $2,499 for Year 2 before list price moves again.
Decision Provenance Record free on every audit
The signed, hashed, 4-page artifact your General Counsel hands to the audit committee — mapped onto EU AI Act Article 14 record-keeping, SEC AI disclosure, and Basel III ICAAP. Bundled on every strategic memo you audit.
Custom toxic-combination weights
The founder personally tunes the 20×20 interaction matrix to your industry’s failure modes, using your historical memo library as calibration data.
Direct Slack channel with the founder
Bug reports and feature requests arrive in the same Slack the founder writes code in. No support ticket queues.
Quarterly 1-hour strategy session
Founder-led working session on your current board-deck cycle. Memo rehearsal, pitch review, or a direct run against the Recognition-Rigor Framework.
Early access to new capabilities
R²F Playbook, Weekly Digest, Decision Rooms, outcome-learning recalibration — design-partner Slack gets the invite before the public changelog.
Marquee placement on /proof (optional)
Logo + short attribution on the public proof page, subject to your approval. Decline freely — no clawback.
Named design partner in investor deck (optional)
Attribution in the pre-seed / seed deck, subject to your approval. Often the cleanest way to reciprocate a warm intro.

You commit

Specific, bounded, and survivable for a busy CSO.

Weekly 30-minute call
Product feedback, new-feature demos, triage of anything stuck. Skip when your quarter gets heavy; reschedule, don’t cancel.
Monthly structured feedback form
5–10 questions, 10 minutes to complete. Signal more valuable than the NPS tracker most early-stage companies run.
Public case study at Month 12 (or earlier)
One published case study with your permission at Month 12 — or earlier if you’re enthusiastic. Anonymized version available if public attribution is a non-starter.
First-month payment up front
First month’s $1,999 lands before kickoff. The commitment is the fee — free pilots produce lead attitude, not customer attitude.
Signed Master Service Agreement + DPA
MSA template available on request (docs/positioning/design-partner-msa-template.md for internal review). Signed DPA on any data processing.
Twelve-month term, clean exit
At Month 12, you renew at the locked $2,499 rate, step up to full Strategy terms, or step back. Your Decision Knowledge Graph + all packets remain exportable either way.
