Founding partners · ten places

We would rather have ten operators who argue with us.

The registry works. What it has not had is ten teams running it against a real stack and telling us where the taxonomy is wrong. Ten places, because ten is what we can support properly — this is a capacity limit, not a marketing device.

What you get

All of it, free, for the term

Gate
The admission gate in your CI, over your policy
Watch
Alerts when a subject you depend on moves
Access
A direct line to the people building it
Input
Roadmap and taxonomy — the closed category list is the part we most want argued with
Price
Fixed in writing at the end of the term, before you decide

What we ask

Two things, and neither is a logo

Time
An hour a fortnight, with somebody who runs the stack
Candour
Tell us when the tier is wrong. A partner who agrees with everything is not testing anything

A reference or a logo is something you may offer later if the product earns it. It is not part of the exchange, and we will not print your name until you have told us in writing that we may.

Apply

One field. We reply either way, and we say no more often than yes — a partner whose stack we cannot help is a waste of both our fortnights.

Tell me when this changes

We record your address so we can tell you when this changes — and a person reads it.

One field. One click to leave. Never sold.
