QuietNode
Design partners

Join the founding design-partner program.

QuietNode is early. A design partner would be among the first external deployments. Design partners run a bounded 60-day evaluation of QuietLens BI in their own VPC, work directly with me, and shape what gets built next. No logo walls, no invented traction: published evaluation numbers, honest terms, and a tight feedback loop.

Founding cohort

Slots are set by capacity, not by marketing.

QuietNode Studio is a one-person studio. I built both products, and every conversation about them is with me. That keeps the number of design partners small.

So the honest framing: a small number of slots, open one at a time. If a slot is open I say so; if I am at capacity I tell you when the next one frees up. No waitlist theater, no countdown timers.

What partners get

  • Starter pricing, honest terms

    The published Starter tier — $1,500/mo for a 60-day term. Invoiced manually, net-15, no card on file, no auto-renew: the evaluation ends unless we both agree in writing to extend or convert.

  • Direct founder access

    There is no support tier between you and the person who built the product. Provisioning help on a call, a weekly 30-minute check-in, and support Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 18:00 IST.

  • A written start plan

    A week-by-week plan: verify the signed image, boot in your VPC, provision read-only access, connect the evaluation sources, and agree success criteria in writing — before live usage starts.

  • Roadmap influence

    Design-partner feedback shapes what gets built next, and every thumbs-down answer is added as a golden eval case so the same miss is tested on every release. Honest caveat: an evaluation carries no committed feature dates.

What I ask

  • A real feedback loop

    Use the in-product ratings, join the weekly check-in, and surface blockers early — including telling me when a real data incident happens, so the product is judged on live fire, not demos.

  • A bounded 60-day commitment

    One role in scope, success criteria agreed in writing in week one, and evaluation users active weekly on real questions for the term.

  • Run your side of provisioning

    Your team creates the read-only identities and holds every credential. I help on a call but never receive access. That is the deployment model, not an evaluation shortcut.

  • A reference on success

    If the evaluation meets the success criteria we agreed, I ask for a reference call and a short case study, drafted by me and approved by you.

The evaluation, concretely

Sixty days, one bounded workflow.
