Design Partner Program
8 companies shaping how enterprise
AI coding gets governed.
We are reserving 8 founding design-partner slots. Each one locks your pricing for 12 months and gives you a direct line to the founding team while product decisions still bend to real workflow data.
Why we need design partners, not just beta testers
The findings are already real.
The enterprise workflow is not yet standardized.
We can detect context boundary violations at scale. What we do not yet have is 8 enterprise engineering teams who have run this through procurement, wired it into their security review cycle, and figured out what a weekly triage workflow actually looks like inside a real org. That is what design partners build with us.

What you get
Four things, stated plainly.
Founding-team attention, not a CS queue
When you have 8 design partners, every company gets the founding team's direct time. When you have 80 beta users, you get a ticketing system. We are capping this at 8 intentionally.
Early access to OVPI signal
Org-Wide Pattern Intelligence aggregates governance signals across sessions to surface system-level blind spots — not just per-PR findings. Design partners are the first to opt in and the first to see their organization-level report.
Pricing locked for 12 months
The partner rate is $45/seat/month. It is locked for 12 months from your start date regardless of any public price changes. 2,000 seats × $45 × 12 = $1,080,000 in predictable ARR for us and predictable costs for you.
Roadmap input that lands
We run structured calls with each partner, record them, and share back transcripts. When multiple partners flag the same workflow gap, it jumps the roadmap queue. Your feedback has a named owner on our side.
The pricing math
$45/seat/month. Locked for 12 months.
The partner rate does not change for the duration of your first 12-month window, regardless of what happens to public pricing. This works for both sides: you get predictable costs; we get predictable ARR from the companies helping us build the product.
Auditable math
2,000 seats × $45 × 12
$1,080,000
locked ARR at full seat count
What we ask of you
Three tiers. Two are required. One is optional and compensated.
Install CodeLedger and let the hooks run.
Install the CLI, run `codeledger init`, and let the pre-commit and session hooks do their job. No manual steps after setup. The telemetry is aggregate counts only — no source code, no file paths, no symbol names leave your environment.
One-time setup. ~30 minutes.
6 structured calls over 6 months.
One 60-minute call per month. We come prepared with a structured agenda based on what the data showed. You come prepared with the one workflow gap that frustrated you most that month. Every call is recorded and the transcript is shared back to you within 24 hours.
6.5 hours total over 6 months.
One public moment: webinar, case study, or conference.
If you present your findings in a public forum — a 30-minute webinar with us, a written case study, or a conference talk — we extend your subscription by 3 months at no charge. This tier is entirely optional. We structured it this way because requiring public commitment filters out the most security-conscious enterprise teams, and those are exactly the teams whose workflows matter most.
One event, your choice of format.
What this is not
Procurement teams ask these questions in the first meeting. Here are the direct answers.
Not a data deal.
No source code, file paths, or symbol names leave your environment. The billing payload identifies sessions by an opaque report ID only. OVPI signal is opt-in, per session, and you can turn it off without losing your partner status.
Not a marketing obligation.
Tier 3 — the webinar, case study, or conference slot — is optional. You can complete the program entirely within Tiers 1 and 2 with no public exposure whatsoever.
Not locked in without an exit.
30 days written notice to exit the program. Your data is deleted on request. The locked pricing continues until your 12-month window closes; after that you move to whatever the current public pricing is.
Not a beta with no feedback loop.
Every call has a structured agenda, a recording, and a transcript. You can see exactly what inputs went into roadmap decisions. If a call produces a finding that ships, we tell you.
