Founding design partners

Founding design partners

A small group of organizations that start early and work directly with the people building it. Here is what that involves.

What happens

We start with a two-week assessment on systems you name. We read them, without writing to them, and list where they disagree. Your people decide what to do about each difference, and we record who decided, what they saw and when. If you continue to a pilot, those decisions are followed up to see whether the systems agree afterward.

What partners get

• Direct contact with the team who's building it.
• A say in what we build next, such as which connectors and reports come first.
• The published terms, recorded at signature.
• Your records, exportable in open formats at any time, including after you stop using EOS.

What partners commit to

• A named sponsor, and a controller who confirms the starting baseline.
• Recording real decisions as you go, so results can be measured.
• Honest feedback along the way. If the results hold, we may ask to describe them as a reference, only in words you approve.

Cost

The same as for anyone: a two-week assessment at $15,000, credited in full against a $50,000 pilot. If the agreed target is not reached by day 90, the $35,000 balance is refunded. After that, a published share of value your finance function confirms. Nothing is charged on this page; terms are set in a signed agreement.

Early partner benefits

We expect to announce benefits for early partners. None are announced yet, and what is listed above is what partners get today. Design partners will hear first, before anything is made public, and anything announced is set out in the signed agreement rather than promised on this page.

Size of the group

We take on partners only as fast as we can support them properly, and we'll tell you when the group is full.
