From workflow to shipping.
Three phases. Ten days.
One productized engagement — the Agent Team Kickstart — in three phases: we understand your workflow, set up the agent squad, and don't leave until a real ticket has shipped.
Workflow discovery
Before we touch a config, we map how work moves through your team today — where tickets start, where they drop, and which handoffs break. On this page it sounds simple; in practice it's the difference between an agent squad that lands and one that gets ignored.
Deliverables
- 90-minute intake call with your eng lead
- Current-workflow map (states, owners, typical ticket shape)
- Pilot-ticket selection — one real ticket the squad will ship
- Bottleneck audit — the 2–3 handoffs that drop the most context
- Written scope of what the squad will cover in Phase 2
Expected Outcomes
- A shared picture of how your team actually works today
- An agreed pilot ticket the squad will pick up on Day 3
- No surprises about scope when setup starts
Agent setup
The squad goes live, one role at a time. PM agent first — so intake and spec stop being the bottleneck. Engineering agent next — scaffolding and PRs on your real repo. QA agent last — running your tests, posting verdicts in Slack. Every transition visible on Jira / Linear / GitHub Projects like human teammates.
Deliverables
- Day 3: first agent live (PM or Engineering) on your board
- Day 7: second agent wired with role-based handoffs
- Day 10: QA agent, Slack notifications, approval gates
- Agent configs committed to your repo — you own them
- Runbook + recorded 60-minute training session
Expected Outcomes
- A 4-agent squad running on your actual workflow
- Every handoff visible on your board and in Slack
- Your team knows how to maintain the squad without us
Work complete
The pilot ticket we picked on Day 1 moves from intake to merged PR — through the squad, on your board, visible in Slack. Humans stay in the loop at every gate that matters. We don't leave until at least one ticket has fully shipped. After that: you keep going, we retain for $1,000/month (optional).
Guarantee: if no agent has moved a real ticket through your workflow by Day 10, 100% refund of the $5,000 setup fee.
Deliverables
- Pilot ticket moved intake → merged PR by the squad
- Full Slack thread showing every agent handoff
- Post-handover review: what worked, what to tune next
- 30-day Slack channel with us for quick questions
- Optional: $1,000/month Managed AI Execution retainer
Expected Outcomes
- Proof — on your board — that the squad ships
- A playbook for the next ten tickets without our help
- A clean handover, or we refund the $5,000 setup fee
What's included in the Kickstart
The $5,000 Kickstart is a fixed-scope engagement. Standard integrations and the four standard agent roles are included. Anything new or custom to your organization — new tools, new roles, proprietary APIs — we scope and quote separately.
Included (standard)
- Jira, Linear, or GitHub Projects as the board
- Slack notifications + approvals
- Knowledge base reads/writes on Confluence, Notion, or Linear docs
- GitHub or GitLab for PR creation and review
- Claude, GPT, or other major LLMs already in your org
- Four standard agent roles: PM, Engineering, QA, Release
- Up to three workflow state transitions mapped end-to-end
Extra (scoped separately)
- New integrations with internal / proprietary tools
- Custom agent roles beyond the standard four
- Migration from another task tracker
- On-prem or air-gapped LLM deployment
- Training data curation beyond your existing knowledge base
Managed AI Execution
Keep the squad healthy as your code and workflow change. Most teams keep this retainer because an agent squad drifts if no one maintains it — and $1,000 a month is cheaper than a spare engineer-hour.
What the retainer covers
- Priority Slack support (4-hour weekday response)
- Agent tuning as your codebase and workflow evolve
- LLM routing + cost monitoring across the squad
- Up to 2 hours/month of minor agent feature work
- Custom or new integrations scoped separately
Works with your existing stack.
The Kickstart runs through the tools your team already uses. No migration required.
