Work with Set Earth

Hire Set Earth to run a piece of your operation, on a retainer.

Set Earth is Braydon McCormick, the software assistants that take the work that repeats, and specialists brought in as engagements need them. Braydon makes the operating calls.

Week one, you walk Braydon through the operation and the scope gets written down: what Set Earth runs and what it doesn’t touch. The reports, the monitoring, and the follow-ups move over. The decisions in front of you arrive in one ninety-minute session each week. If it isn’t working by day thirty, you stop.

If your team wants the workshop first, five working days building a real application, that’s a LightForge Works offering now, at lightforgeworks.com.

This is for companies between ten and two hundred fifty people, with an executive who owns operations and a team that does the work.

The remit is amended in writing each quarter by Braydon; anything outside it waits for the review.

In practice the standing work is monitoring, recurring reports, and the decisions that don’t need a person every time. It’s documented, and Braydon audits it weekly. How the setup runs is on How we run; what it can’t do stays with Braydon.

• A weekly judgment session.Ninety minutes on the operating decisions in front of you.
• A shared channel.Answers come the next business day.
• A monthly operating review.Ninety minutes on the operating numbers in the remit.
• A quarterly remit review.The review looks at what ran and what changed.

You’re not paying by the hour; the cadence is the agreement. If you need more rhythm than that, the remit changes.

The first month is the heavy one: the remit gets written and the standing work moves over. By month nine your team is doing more of it and Set Earth is reviewing. The rate drops with the length because the work gets lighter.

A month is how most engagements start. You get the remit, the standing work handled, and a real month of the operation running. Day thirty is the honest checkpoint, the same one from the top of the page.

Set Earth runs five seats at a time. That’s the number that keeps real judgment behind every seat. Onboarding is one seat at a time, so only one client is ever in its first months. When the seats are full, you get a start date.

Specialists work inside the same remit. Anyone brought in works under the same written scope and NDA, and Braydon still makes the calls.

It’s a fractional seat. If the work outgrows it, you need a hire, and help writing the spec comes with the seat.

You can stop whenever you like. Leave a nine-month at month four and the months you ran get billed at the three-month rate. After the term it renews monthly, thirty days’ notice either way.

How an engagement runs

The first three months are the dense ones: Braydon writes the remit, the work moves over, and the practice stands up. Then it tapers. Your team runs more of it, and the practice stays close on review. One program at a time inside the remit, scoped to something that ships.

Terms

Set Earth Inc, invoiced monthly in advance, mutual NDA. You own everything built on your stack; Set Earth keeps its methods and tooling. For early-stage work, equity can stand in for part of the fee. First step is a fit call; reply to b@mcco.us if you would rather write first.

Not sure which? First step is the same either way: a forty-five-minute fit call. You describe the operation; the call settles whether Set Earth can run it, and which shape fits. Book a fit call.
