Is Harden worth running as a client service?

The supplied data supports Harden as a local, pre-execution security control for Claude Code and Codex agents, which makes it a credible managed-service anchor for security-conscious AI development teams. What remains unknown is the vendor's paid tier pricing, the agency's client rate card, and delivery volume assumptions, all required before any ROI can be modeled.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
