Build Cromus with us. From day one.
We're selecting three design partners to work directly with the platform during our founding 8-week cohort — and opening founding member pricing to everyone who wants to get in early.
Design Partner Program
Three seats. One for each ICP we're building for. You have two ways in: lock a Founding Member spot now at $29/mo while spots remain, or apply for a design partner seat and be the first rewarded for helping us improve Cromus — with founding partner pricing earned through your contribution, not just your credit card.
The Builder
You're building or maintaining production AI workflows. You've felt the pain of unpredictable costs, silent failures, and SKILL.md or AGENTS.md files that looked fine in dev but caused problems in production.
- Full Cromus platform access — free for 8 weeks
- Croms™ scoring on your production workflows
- SKILL.md + ETHOS.md + AGENTS.md generated for your stack
- Gate CI set up on your repo — scores every PR automatically
- Direct access to the founding team
- Founding partner pricing locked after week 8
Two 30-min feedback sessions + one approved case study + one attributed quote
The Strategist
You're operating at the intersection of AI search, content, or accessibility — running multi-step pipelines across research, generation, optimization, distribution, or WCAG remediation.
- Full Cromus platform access — free for 8 weeks
- Workflow audit of your AI content or accessibility pipeline
- Croms™ scoring with GEO and accessibility governance flags
- SKILL.md templates for SEO/GEO and a11y agent workflows
- AI Department roles (Specialist + Manager) on your stack
- Founding partner pricing locked after week 8
Two 30-min feedback sessions + one approved case study + one attributed quote
The Operator
You're running AI-powered workflows for clients at scale. You've invested in production pipelines but have no standardized way to audit, score, or govern them before they go live.
- Full Cromus platform access — free for 8 weeks
- Croms™ scoring on up to 3 client workflows
- Governance specs (SKILL.md + ETHOS.md) that back up your pricing
- AI Department (Specialist + Manager + CWO) running on your stack
- White-label tier access during the program
- Founding partner pricing locked after week 8
Two 30-min feedback sessions + one approved case study + one attributed quote
Design partners receive founding partner pricing as part of the program — no purchase required. The $29/mo Founding Member rate is also available independently — 100 spots, first come first served.
Founding Member Pricing
100 spots at $29/mo — locked forever, no price increases, ever. Founding members get Builder-level access at a price that will never be offered again.

Midpoint feedback session
30 minutes. Structured framework provided. Your feedback directly influences the roadmap for the next 4 weeks.

Final workflow review + outcome data
We compile your workflow outcomes — predicted vs actual costs, waste removed, governance gaps resolved.

You review and approve everything before it's published. Founding partner pricing locked for life.
Founding partner FAQs
Everything you need to know about the design partner seats, founding member pricing, and the 8-week engagement.
Who qualifies as a design partner?
Three seats, one per ICP: a Builder (AI engineer running production workflows), a Strategist (SEO/GEO operator running multi-step content pipelines, or a web accessibility strategist running WCAG/a11y workflows), and an Operator (agency or consultancy running AI workflows for clients). You should have at least one real workflow already in production or close to it.
What does the design partner program cost?
Nothing for 8 weeks. You get full Cromus platform access, Croms™ scoring on your real workflows, SKILL.md, ETHOS.md, and AGENTS.md generation for your stack, Gate CI set up on your repo, and direct access to the founding team. After week 8, founding partner pricing is locked in for life.
How much time will the program take?
No more than 30 minutes per milestone. Five touchpoints across 8 weeks: onboarding (W1), first scored workflow delivered (W3), midpoint feedback (W4), final review with outcome data (W6), and case study sign-off (W8). Everything in between is asynchronous.
What's the difference between a design partner and a founding member?
Design partners are 3 hand-picked seats that get free platform access for 8 weeks plus direct roadmap influence. Founding members are 100 spots at $29/mo locked forever — you get all Builder features, the Specialist role, the founding badge, roadmap input, and pricing that will never be offered again. Design partners convert into founding members at week 8.
Is Founding Member pricing still available?
Yes. Founding Member spots are still available at $29/mo locked for life. Once all 100 spots are claimed, this rate closes permanently. Anyone who claims a spot keeps $29/mo for the lifetime of their account.
What happens if all 100 founding member spots fill up?
The tier closes permanently. There will not be a second batch. Once the 100 seats are claimed, the next entry point is Builder at $49/mo or Ops at $99/mo — both include a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The 14-day free trial gives full Ops access, including Builder features, team collaboration, and the Manager — no credit card required. Access pauses after the trial and you're never auto-charged. Design partner applications are reviewed individually — apply by email and we'll respond within 48 hours.
Can I publish a case study after the program?
Yes — and you review and approve everything before it goes live. The case study is co-authored, captures real outcome data (predicted vs actual cost, waste removed, governance gaps closed), and credits you as a Cromus founding design partner.
What if I need a fully automated setup or want to resell to clients?
The Agency plan ($249/mo) is the fully automated Cromus experience — Specialist, Manager, and CWO running on your workflows automatically. It's available to any user, not just agencies. If you want to deliver AI workflow services to your own clients under your brand, the White Label plan ($499/mo) adds resale rights, agency branding on all exports, and 10 isolated client workspaces. Enterprise is available for large teams — contact us for pricing.
