We'll tell you what to do —
or we'll do it for you.

Two ways up the same ladder. Start with an assessment that tells you exactly what to automate and build inside Tandem — then, when you want it off your plate, the same team builds it for you and makes sure it works.

Same path. You choose how much we do.

Every engagement answers the same question — what should you automate, and how? The only difference is whether you pick up the build, or we do.

The AI Assessment

You build it yourself, in Tandem
$999one-time

We tell you exactly what to automate and build with the tool. A six-step funnel maps your workflow, scores every candidate by ROI, and hands you a buildable plan you execute inside Tandem.

  • →Full workflow + bottleneck audit, mapped to Tandem capabilities
  • →Ranked automation backlog with unit-economics per task
  • →Step-by-step build plan you run yourself in the dashboard
  • →Live ROI / payback model (below) you keep
  • →Credited 100% toward a build retainer if you upgrade

The Build Retainer

Your in-house AI software team
$10k/mo

Everything in the assessment — plus we build it. We tell you what to do, then ship it for you and keep it working. An embedded AI software team without the headcount.

  • ✓The full assessment, refreshed every cycle as priorities shift
  • ✓We build the automations + tools + agents inside your Tandem
  • ✓We run, monitor, and fix it — uptime and accuracy are ours
  • ✓Weekly ship cadence with a real backlog you prioritise
  • ✓Local-first: your code + data can stay on your machine — or run in our cloud, your call

The 6-step assessment funnel

How a $999 assessment turns a vague "we should use AI" into a ranked, buildable plan you execute in Tandem.

  1. 01

    Map the work

    We sit with your team and map every recurring workflow, who touches it, and where the hours actually go.

  2. 02

    Spot the candidates

    Every task is flagged as automatable, agent-assistable, or leave-alone — with the tool's real capabilities in mind.

  3. 03

    Score by unit economics

    Each candidate gets hours saved, error-rate delta, and build effort — so ROI, not vibes, sets priority.

  4. 04

    Rank the backlog

    Candidates sort into a do-now / do-next / skip backlog. Quick wins first, compounding bets flagged.

  5. 05

    Spec the build

    The top items become concrete Tandem build specs — agents, workflows, tools, and approval gates, step by step.

  6. 06

    Hand off & model ROI

    You leave with the plan, the specs, and the live ROI model — ready to build yourself, or hand to us.

Strong case. The assessment pays for itself almost immediately — Path 1 (DIY build) is the obvious start.

Path 2 · We build · $10k/mo

When you'd rather we just did it

The next rung up the ladder. Same diagnosis, but we pick up the build — your in-house AI software team, embedded.

We tell you what to do

The assessment never stops — every cycle we re-rank what's worth building as your business and the models change.

We build it for you

Agents, workflows, tools, and custom pages — shipped inside your Tandem on a weekly cadence you prioritise.

We make sure it works

We run it, watch it, and fix it. Uptime, accuracy, and the approval trail are our problem, not yours.

Pricing · the same ladder, priced

Three rungs. You pick how high.

Start where you are. Every rung credits into the next — the assessment fee folds into onboarding, onboarding folds into the ongoing build.

FAQ

The honest questions

What's the actual difference between the two paths?
Same diagnosis, different amount of doing. Path 1 ($999) tells you exactly what to automate and build in Tandem — you do the building. Path 2 ($10k/mo) does that diagnosis and builds it for you, then keeps it running. It's one ladder; you pick the rung.
Do I need Tandem to do the assessment?
The assessment is tool-aware — it maps your work to what Tandem can actually do, so the output is a buildable plan, not a generic strategy deck. You execute it inside Tandem (Pro install), or hand it to us on Path 2.
Is the $999 wasted if I upgrade later?
No — it credits 100% toward onboarding or the retainer. The assessment is the first rung; upgrading just means we pick up the build you'd otherwise do yourself.
What does "your in-house AI software team" actually mean?
On the $10k/mo retainer we act as an embedded team: we tell you what to build, build it inside your Tandem, run and monitor it, and fix it when it breaks — on a weekly cadence you prioritise. No recruiting, no headcount, cancel anytime.
Does my code or data leave my machine?
Your call. Tandem is local-first — builds can run on your hardware so 0 bytes of your code or data leave your box, or run in our managed cloud if you'd rather. Zero telemetry when you run local.
Can I cancel the retainer?
Anytime. Everything we build lives inside your Tandem and stays yours — cancelling means you keep the system and run it yourself (back to Path 1).
