Why now

Code got cheap. Judgment didn't.

Day rates, padded estimates, change orders: all of it priced one scarce thing, human typing time. AI agents ended that scarcity. What stays scarce is knowing what to build, and standing behind it.

What changed

Agents build in parallel

AI agents write, test, and prove the code, around the clock. Building stopped being the bottleneck.

What did not

A person signs every line

A senior engineer decides what ships and puts their name on it. Nothing reaches your repository unsigned.

What that makes possible

A price we can promise

One fixed price before work starts. A 90-day warranty after it ships. A firm selling hours could not afford either.

The line from ask to accepted

Your outcome goes in. A delivered mandate comes out.

Mandate M-014Outcome in, delivered out

You name the outcome.

We map it to criteria you sign.

Cambrian's agents build and prove each one.

A senior engineer signs the result.

Delivered, every criterion met.

Mandate M-014Outcome in, delivered out

Delivered, every criterion met.

The deal

The whole deal fits on one page.

If we miss a criterion, we keep working at no extra cost. On acceptance the code is yours, outright.

Evidence first, invoice second. Every criterion arrives with the proof it is met. You decide it is done. Then you pay.

MANDATE

OUTCOME: One named business outcome
CRITERIA: Signed by both sides, in writing
PRICE: Fixed. Frozen when you approve.
WARRANTY: 90 days on delivered criteria
SIGNATURE: A senior engineer signs, or it does not ship.

After acceptance: 90 days of warranty, triaged by agent, answered by a senior engineer. A standing mandate can hold your production systems after that.

Humans are the moat.

The machines do the work. People decide what's worth doing.

Before

An aging LP portal.

Client-only. Out of date. Hard to maintain.

After

One API.

It serves the LP portal and the firm's internal tools. Agents maintain it. Senior engineers sign every change.

Infrastructure rebuilt as reviewed code
One API replaced the portal's aging core

Standing mandates

What protects you, in the contract.

Four clauses, standard in every mandate

A name on every change

Every line that reaches your repository carries a senior engineer's signature. Anonymous output does not exist here.

The warranty is in the contract

90 days on delivered criteria, triaged in hours, fixed at our cost. In the contract, not the brochure.

Read-only until you sign

The probe never writes. Delivery works in branches on your terms. Access is revocable in one click.

Your name stays yours

Results are anonymous by default. Your name appears only with written consent, with the wording shown first.

Who this is for

Built for teams that already pay for outside engineering.

A live codebase

Revenue above $10M, or a funded product already in use.

An outside budget

You already pay an agency, a dev shop, or a BPO for this work.

One owner

One person can approve the outcome without a buying committee.
