Join the founding design-partner program.
QuietNode is early, and we treat that as a feature: design partners run a bounded 60-day pilot in their own VPC, work directly with the founder, and shape what gets built next. No logo walls, no invented traction — a working product, honest terms, and a tight feedback loop.
Slots are set by capacity, not by marketing.
QuietNode Studio is a solo-operator studio today, and every design-partner pilot is run personally by the founder — provisioning calls, weekly check-ins, and support all land on the person who wrote the code. That caps how many partners we take on at once.
So the honest framing: a small number of slots, open one at a time. If a slot is open we say so; if we're at capacity we tell you when the next one frees up. No waitlist theater, no countdown timers.
What partners get
Pilot pricing, honest terms
The published pilot tier — $1,500/mo for a 60-day term. Invoiced manually, net-15, no card on file, no auto-renew: the pilot 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 a written SLA with response targets one operator can actually sustain.
Dedicated onboarding
A week-by-week onboarding plan: sign, verify the signed image, boot in your VPC, provision read-only access, connect the pilot 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 frozen as a golden eval case so the same miss can never return. Honest caveat: a pilot carries no committed feature dates.
What we ask
A real feedback loop
Use the in-product ratings, join the weekly check-in, and surface blockers early — including telling us when a real data incident happens, so the product is judged on live fire, not demos.
A bounded 60-day commitment
One workflow in scope, success criteria agreed in writing in week one, and pilot 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 — we assist on a call but never receive access. That is the deployment model, not a pilot shortcut.
A reference on success
If the pilot meets the success criteria we agreed, we ask for a reference call and a short case study — drafted by us, approved by you.
Sixty days, one bounded workflow.

Bring one workflow. We'll bring the evidence.
Tell us the report nobody trusts or the queue that's always stuck — two minutes of context is a scoping call half-done. A founder replies within 2 business days.
