The build-and-govern tier. Operators license Architect to build their own agents in-house using CompanyOps's discipline — Agent Builder v2, the Agent Library (15 packages at launch, growing to 96+), the Workflow Package Factory, the Expert Playbook (license version), QC discipline, and governance setup. The pair to Orchestrator: Orchestrator runs the agents; Architect builds them.
Architect ships in three bands. Each band is a complete build-and-govern installation; the difference is scope, custom configuration, and the level of CompanyOps team support included. Most operators land in Standard; teams scaling agent capability across multiple functions go Enterprise.
Project-based. Single function focus. The right entry point for operators ready to build their first 3–5 in-house agents under CompanyOps's QC + governance discipline.
Project-based. Multi-function scope. Build agent capability across 2–3 functions simultaneously with CompanyOps engineering pairing on golden examples and QC.
Custom engagement. Full org agent build-out. Operators scaling agent capability across the enterprise with deep CompanyOps engineering and architectural-review involvement.
Every Architect band ships with the same core capability set — what changes between bands is scope, depth, and the level of CompanyOps engineering support. The capability set is what makes Architect different from generic agent-building platforms.
The meta-tool — a CompanyOps-house agent that builds other agents to spec. Operators describe what an agent should do; Builder v2 produces the v2-pattern 5-file scaffold (00-START-HERE · process · context · golden-example · quality). Reduces agent build time from weeks to days.
15 production-grade agent packages at launch — covering meeting recap, sales follow-up, proposal generation, briefing production, customer research, and others. Each package ships with golden examples and quality scorecards. Library grows to 96+ packages through the Workflow Factory and quarterly releases.
The discipline that grows the library. Every operator engagement, every internal use case, every recurring need becomes a candidate workflow. The Factory turns those into shippable packages — first private to the operator's org, optionally contributed back to the public library for reciprocity discounts.
The methodology layer behind every CompanyOps engagement — diagnose, architect, deliver, retro. Licensable at Tier 04 for operators running their own internal transformation programs. The premium services version of the playbook stays separate (Tier 05 services-only). Architect ships the licensable framework.
The quality framework every CompanyOps deliverable passes through — golden example match, format compliance, fact-check, voice-consistency, governance gate. Architect installs QC as a first-class capability inside the operator's org so every shipped agent output meets a defined standard.
Architect bands include explicit governance setup — read/write boundaries, approval gates, escalation paths, audit logging. The same governance primitives Orchestrator ships with, applied to operator-built agents. Without the governance layer, in-house agent capability is L1 with extra steps.
For operators whose Architect engagement reveals swarm-level operational ambitions — multi-agent teams running entire functional areas with continuous-improvement loops, real-time market signal feeding the production layer, reinvented value categories that didn't exist under the old structure — CompanyOps builds bespoke L5 swarms as custom engagements above the Enterprise band. Not on the public tier ladder; available by conversation. (Per D23 lock — bespoke only at launch.)
Tier 04 reclaims the most because operators with Architect aren't just running L4 agents — they're building new L4/L5 capability across functions, with the discipline to make it stick. The 85% reclaim factor reflects what enterprise operators see in year-one engagements.
Architect bands: $50K Starter · $75K Standard · $150K+ Enterprise. Multi-million reclaim against six-figure investment is the typical first-year math at the enterprise scale.
Book a DemoTier 04 reclaim factor: 85%. Compare to Tier 01 (60%) and Tier 03 (75%). L5 swarm engagements compound further but are bespoke-priced.
Operators climb a maturity ladder, not a linear scale. Each rung is a step-change in leverage — the columns visualize the multiplier shape, not the literal math. Hover any column to see the climb.
L1–L2 are pre-CompanyOps. L3 starts at Tier 01. Bar widths cube-root scaled for visual readability; multipliers illustrate leverage shape per tier.
Most agent-building platforms are tools. Architect is a discipline — the same discipline CompanyOps uses internally to ship every Tier 03 pipeline and every Tier 01 workflow. Operators license Architect not because they want a tool; they license it because they want the in-house capability to keep building once the engagement ends.
