# Working With Me

If you want this installed and customized instead of building it yourself, here is the menu. Four packages, founding rate, risk reversal.

## Background

I built this repo to run my own startup. Open-sourced the core because the pattern should be free. I install the full version for a small number of founders and teams each quarter. Full bio, credentials, and case studies at [diazroa.com](https://diazroa.com).

## The four packages

### Personal Install

**$1,500 one-time, founding rate.** Post-founding price: $2,500.

For solo founders, writers (Substack, books, longform), product managers, consultants, and anyone whose work is decision-heavy and context-rich. If your notes, decisions, and patterns matter beyond the day you wrote them, this is for you. Installed within 5 business days.

- 90-minute deep-dive to map your work, your decisions, your knowledge architecture, your stack.
- Full install of Claude Code plus Obsidian, vault structured for you, custom skills tuned to how you actually work, knowledge graph, MCP integrations with your personal tools (Substack, calendar, journal, RescueTime, whatever you actually use).
- Knowledge graph densification across whatever notes you already have. Notion, Apple Notes, scattered Markdown, old Roam exports. References you wrote three years ago start surfacing when they are relevant to today.
- Async training: Loom walkthroughs sized for one person, not a team rollout.
- Private GitHub repo access for ongoing updates.

Not for teams, not for businesses, not for anyone who will need to add a co-founder or operator inside the next 12 months. If any of those describe you, the team Brain Setup below is the right starting point and saves you a migration later.

Founding rate cap: 5 slots per quarter.

**Upgrade path:** if you add a team within 12 months and move up to the team Brain Setup, the full $1,500 credits toward it. No double-paying for the foundation.

### AI Brain Setup

**$3,500 one-time, founding rate.** Post-founding price: $5,000.

Your team's AI operating system, installed and customized, in one week.

- 2-hour deep-dive with the founder or exec sponsor to map workflows, decisions, and knowledge architecture.
- Full install of Claude Code plus Obsidian, vault structured for your team, custom skills, knowledge graph, MCP integrations with your specific stack.
- Knowledge graph densification: I backfill wikilinks across your existing vault, Notion, or Confluence so references actually connect. Typical range: 10,000 to 50,000 unlinked references connected in one pass.
- 1 week of async training with Loom walkthroughs plus a live Q&A session.
- Private GitHub repo access for ongoing updates.

Founding rate cap: 5 slots total across all founding clients. When those fill, prices rise and do not come back.

### AI Implementation Sprint

**$10,000, 2 to 4 weeks, founding rate.** Post-founding price: $15,000.

A sprint to find and build your team's highest-ROI AI workflows end-to-end.

- Full operations audit: where team time goes, what is manual, what is broken.
- Top 3 to 5 automation points identified and built as working systems, not a recommendation deck.
- Includes the Brain Setup if you do not already have it.
- Handoff documentation so your team maintains everything after the sprint closes.
- 2 weeks of post-sprint support.

Payment: 50% on signature, 50% before handoff. Founding rate cap: 5 slots total.

### Fractional AI Officer

**$4,000/month, 3-month minimum, founding rate.** Post-founding price: $5,000/month.

Ongoing AI strategy, optimization, and team training. Up to 6 hours a month.

- Continuous optimization of the system as the team grows and the tool landscape shifts.
- New tool evaluation and integration when something real comes out.
- Monthly team training sessions.
- Async Slack access for questions under 10 minutes.
- Monthly ROI report: what we built, what it saved.

Month-to-month after the first 3 months with 30-day cancellation. Founding rate cap: 3 slots total.

## Risk reversal

We start with the deep-dive (90 minutes for Personal, 2 hours for team packages). If after that session you do not see at least 10 hours a month coming back to you (or to you and your team), you pay nothing. I keep the notes, you keep the clarity, and we part as friends.

Applies to the Personal Install, Brain Setup, and Sprint. The Fractional does not need it because you have already seen the system work.

## Not included

The packages do not include custom software development, data migration from legacy systems requiring IT approval, enterprise InfoSec or procurement paperwork, or full-time availability. If you need any of those, I can scope them separately or refer you to someone who does that work better than I do.

## Who this is not for

- Teams under 5 people where one person still holds all the context in their head. The open-source repo or the Personal Install handles you.
- Pre-revenue or pre-seed companies without a clear runway.
- Anyone who needs to "talk to the team" before a $3,500 decision. Either the deal is dead or the wrong person is in the room.
- Teams that want a custom chatbot, a GPT wrapper, or a prompt library. That is a different kind of work.

## How to start

Book a free 20-minute AI diagnostic at [diazroa.com](https://diazroa.com). No pitch deck, no follow-up sequence. I audit your workflow live and tell you where you are losing time to work AI should be doing. If it is a fit, we talk about the package. If it is not, you keep the audit and we part as friends.

## Referrals

10% of the first engagement value, paid within 30 days of client payment. No cap. Warm intro required.
