You sell it. We build it. Nobody upstream ever says hello.

They'll see us named as a sub-processor in your data processing agreement, because hiding that would be a legal problem rather than a branding one. Everywhere else — commits, docs, deploys, email, calls — it's your name.

Your client contacts you, because you're the vendor. You forward it to the escalation channel and we work it under whichever SLA your tier carries. You stay the single point of contact throughout, which is the whole product — you're selling accountability, and accountability can't be subcontracted in front of the customer.

Possibly — assume so, given how few workloads we cover well. What's contractual either way: your client list, your pricing, and your scoping documents never move between partners. If you need guaranteed exclusivity in a named vertical, ask — that's a conversation, not a default.

Eventually, yes — once the fixed cost of a salaried hire is smaller than the variable delivery fees you're paying us. Early on, when revenue is still uneven, that trade tends to run the other way. Use us to get past the point where hiring is boring rather than terrifying.

When the partner sells something they don't understand. If you can't explain the failure modes of what you've sold, the handoff pack won't save you on the call — the client will ask one layer deeper and the whole thing unravels. We'll turn down a brief if it looks like you're quoting outside your own comprehension. That's not us being precious; it's the only version of this that survives a renewal.

Right now, none — you'd be one of the first. This is a founding cohort: direct access to the person actually building your work, founding-partner pricing held for as long as you stay, and real influence over which workloads we prioritize next. That won't be true once this is an established roster, which is exactly why the terms are what they are today.
