AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One approved model set and one self-hosted runtime; final code changes and production access remain under human control. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Agent registry and role configuration, Run console with approval checkpoints, Audit and cost dashboard. Use a list of agents with role, model, workspace, memory, tools, skills and permissions, a central run view showing plan, tool calls, approvals and rollback, and a right-hand panel for policy, budget and audit records. Let users compare a run against its original plan and prior versions. Display running, awaiting approval, completed, rolled back and failed states. Provide an exportable audit view with agent identity and user-initiated versus agent-initiated steps. Make the task-specific outcome approved agent actions under policy visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Agent ownership, role and permission versions, workspace and memory settings, approval states, budget caps, run receipts, audit exports and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Organization-owned repositories, chat platforms, GitHub, schedulers, webhooks and existing observability stacks. Cloud or on-premise compute, secret stores and CI/CD destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct deployment. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will platform and security teams running autonomous AI coding agents inside their own infrastructure use it to solve "autonomous coding agents run without isolation, budget limits, approval gates or a unified audit trail, so teams cannot safely let them act"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Approved agent actions per oversight hour and unapproved or unexplained actions per run.
- Measure, then decide. Track approved agent actions per oversight hour and unapproved or unexplained actions per run; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One approved model set and one self-hosted runtime; final code changes and production access remain under human control. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: run autonomous coding agents on tasks and workflows; isolate each agent in a sandbox. Support the third module with operator review: enforce policy at the level of individual tool calls. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around approved agent actions under policy. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One approved model set and one self-hosted runtime; final code changes and production access remain under human control.
What the build depends on. Agent registry and preview, asynchronous execution jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity production requires specialist security QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One approved model set and one self-hosted runtime; final code changes and production access remain under human control.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook
Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined agent package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multi-agent or on-premise deployments separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded approved agent actions under policy. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Run autonomous coding agents under isolation, oversight and auditability. Demonstrate a concrete approved agent actions under policy using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Platform and security teams running autonomous AI coding agents inside their own infrastructure professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample approved agent actions under policy from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of approved agent actions per oversight hour and unapproved or unexplained actions per run and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five platform and security teams running autonomous AI coding agents inside their own infrastructure and inspect a recent example of autonomous coding agents run without isolation, budget limits, approval gates or a unified audit trail, so teams cannot safely let them act.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure approved agent actions per oversight hour and unapproved or unexplained actions per run, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Approved agent actions per oversight hour and unapproved or unexplained actions per run. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Approved agent actions per oversight hour and unapproved or unexplained actions per run; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs approved agent actions under policy. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved agent roles, policy rules and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow engineering niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for platform and security teams running autonomous AI coding agents inside their own infrastructure. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
Runtime, AgentConnect, Inferable, MartinLoop and Lunen.ai, plus internal scripts and generic CI runners. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on approved agent actions per oversight hour and unapproved or unexplained actions per run. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Model and runtime usage, sandbox compute, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source assets. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of approved agent actions under policy. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve agent identity, source attribution, permission accuracy and usage permissions. Named owners approve substantive changes and production scope. One approved model set and one self-hosted runtime; final code changes and production access remain under human control. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
