How we work
A workshop that ships its tools.
Klair is a software workshop. We build custom code on milestone contracts, and we sell access to the same tools we use to build it. Hire the atelier, or buy the toolkit.
Toolkit
You buy the tools we build with.
Hermes scopes, Apollo builds, Moon hosts. The three products that power every klair project also sell as standalone SaaS, on monthly billing, used by your team directly.

FAQ
What we get asked
Drawn from first calls with the design-partner cohort.
You sign a scoped engagement at indicative pricing before GA on 1 September 2026. You get the engagement, the delivered code, and grandfathered pricing into the fairest GA tier. In exchange, you accept that you're one of the first ten. We'll learn on your project, and we commit to it in writing.
You get grandfathered pricing, direct access to the klair team, and influence over the roadmap before it hardens. You also get the same delivery discipline we expect to run at scale. The lifecycle doesn't change because you're early.
We commit to delivering the engagement you signed, regardless. Code is delivered into your repo under your ownership from day one. If we stop running the hosted side, you keep the code and the runbook; nothing is locked behind our platform.
One paragraph. The intake drafter asks a few clarifying questions, then returns a structured proposal with scope, milestones, and a number. No deck, no discovery week.
