The founding-customer consortium · 10 seats
Dock the company into AI.
In 90 days, Flametool maps your company, pairs your key people with AI twins, and installs the control layer that lets agents work without losing business authority.
An AI twin is not a chatbot. It is AI you approve before it acts, running in your own cloud account — it does the real work for a role, then logs every step and holds it at an approval checkpoint. Your operator stays in the seat; the twin does the clicking. Works with any AI model, remembers how your company works, reads your existing tools, and keeps a full record of every action it takes.
Regulated tier · deployment inside your own cloud account available for Sentinel seats.
Founding spots
Ten seats. Three tiers.
We place companies by urgency, workflow complexity, vertical conflict, and control requirements. Tier pricing is locked for the founding cohort; commercial fit is handled in the sales conversation.

The 30-second pitch
Stop asking who you'll have to fire. Start asking which of your people gets which AI twin.
Paired role

Paired role
CFO twin
Your CEO manages a CEO twin. Your COO manages a COO twin. Your CFO manages a CFO twin. We build the pairings — one AI you approve before it acts, running in your cloud account, every action backed by evidence and held for your sign-off. Three humans run our companies on it. Look at us. Run yours this way.
Founding cohort forming
First named reference publishing soon.
What the company receives
A 90-day install. Not a workshop.
The consortium seat buys access, economics, and co-design status. The product underneath is the governed runtime that installs inside your company and starts learning where work should move.
Company map
Vision MD, blocker map, decision corpus, division map, and the first workflow slate.
Twin pairings
CEO, COO, CFO, sales, operations, and external agents mapped to human owners.
Document highway
Upload policies, SOPs, notes, specs, decks, and archives. The core turns them into tickets, not noise.
Feedback loop
Ranked tickets surface only when the core needs human judgment. Everything else stays in the core.
Approval checkpoints
Approval rules, allowed actions, role permissions, kill switch, and a full record of every action before anything runs.
First live workflows
The first agentic work lanes are deployed, tested, logged, and ready for the next expansion cycle.
The value-prop core
The seat is scarce. The core is the product.
It remembers how your company works, picks the right AI model for each job, runs everything through approval checkpoints, pairs each role with its twin, backs every action with evidence, and only asks for a human when judgment is actually needed.
- Works with any AI modelModels can change. The company memory, permissions, workflow maps, and audit log stay yours.
- AI-native infrastructureVoice, UI, documents, approvals, execution, and memory are one operating layer, not another chatbot.
- Business controlAgents do not freestyle inside the company. They work through approval checkpoints, owners, evidence, and your sign-off.
- Context compressionThe core reuses mapped context and compiles work before execution, reducing avoidable token burn and duplicate work.
- Stack rationalizationThe install exposes redundant SaaS, duplicated handoffs, and workflow gaps across divisions.
- Backed by evidenceEvery recommendation carries sources, risks, owner, approval state, outcome, and exportable history.
Control layer
Enterprise posture without burying the buyer in plumbing.
These are vendor-backed controls and architecture paths we build around. We do not present them as Flametool certifications until the audit artifacts are complete.
Customer-owned cloud path
Standard installs start fast; regulated installs can move into your cloud account, VPC, DPA, and controls.
Data residency ready
Regional deployment patterns let the customer choose where workloads and data live.
Voice layer controls
The realtime voice layer is selected for enterprise posture: SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA eligibility, GDPR, residency, HA, SSO, and RBAC.
Human approval gates
External writes, money, deploys, and ambiguous actions stay gated before execution.
Model-vendor blindspot control
Routing is model-agnostic. Recommendations are checked against evidence, not one vendor's worldview.
Audit trail by default
Sources, decisions, owners, risks, outcomes, and exports are part of the operating core.
A small tool for the bigger conversation
Don't have an AI budget? Find it in the inefficiency.
The real calculation lies in the ability to allow your infrastructure to intelligently streamline every human in the business. No double-tasking. No bloat. No vacuums of inefficiency once docked into Flametool.
That one is priceless.

Phased rollout
Q3 2026
Phase 1
First seats open · small, hands-on cohort
Q4 2026
Phase 2
A few more seats unlock as installs mature
Q1 2027
Phase 3
Final seats · cohort closes at 10
Seats unlock in deliberate phases so the founding cohort stays small and well-supported. Each phase opens only once the prior installs are live and stable.
By design: you stay in control
What we do not promise.
- 01Lights-out autonomy with no one watching. By design, you stay in control: you approve, it applies, everything is logged, and the kill switch is yours.
- 02Custom model training. The first layer is model-agnostic orchestration, not private model training.
- 03GPU on our balance sheet. Running in your own cloud account means your cloud, your capex.
- 04Equity. Consortium buys product, status, economics — not shares.
- 05Permanent lock-in. Year-1 exit clause is the guarantee.
- 06Refunds. Escalating discount + Pair Date credit are the remedies.
