GenerativeIDE Managed Developer Retainer (5-10 days)

A productized retainer where your agency deploys and manages GenerativeIDE for security-sensitive clients, handling setup, workflow configuration, and ongoing support. This offer converts a $99.99/month tool into a $2,500+ setup fee plus recurring monthly management.

Prerequisites
  • Client developer machine meeting GIDE hardware requirements for local model inference
  • Access to client codebase with read permissions for semantic retrieval indexing
  • Client approval for write-gate configuration and audit logging policies
  • Agency staff trained on GIDE's CLI and agentic IDE workflows
  • Defined escalation path for model performance or approval bottlenecks
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Install GenerativeIDE on the client's developer machine and verify the bundled local model (Ornith 9B) runs offline
  • 2.Run a trial task to confirm write-gate approval flow and measure model response times
  • 3.Document hardware specs and any performance tuning needed for the client's stack
  • 1.Configure semantic codebase retrieval scope to index the client's primary repositories
  • 2.Set up write-gate approval rules for file writes and shell commands per client policy
  • 3.Enable JSONL audit logging to capture all agent actions for compliance review
  • 1.Build a prompt library tailored to the client's primary language and framework
  • 2.Create a workflow guide for common tasks: bug fixing, refactoring, test generation
  • 3.Train the client's developers on approving or rejecting agent suggestions via the write-gate
  • 1.Integrate GIDE Wiki to generate an architecture graph of the client's codebase
  • 2.Configure MCP client connections if the client uses external tools or Context Memory Server
  • 3.Test BYOK integration with client's existing API keys (Claude, GPT, or Gemini) for hybrid use
  • 1.Run a pilot task with the client's team, e.g., fix a failing test suite or refactor a module
  • 2.Review audit logs with the client to ensure transparency and approval compliance
  • 3.Collect feedback and adjust write-gate rules or retrieval scope as needed
  • 1.Finalize the managed service runbook covering daily operations, model updates, and troubleshooting
  • 2.Set up priority email support channel for client developers using the Business plan
  • 3.Deliver the documented prompt library and workflow guide to the client
  • 1.Conduct a handoff session to transition day-to-day usage to the client's team
  • 2.Establish a monthly review cadence for audit log analysis and optimization
  • 3.Define KPIs: approval rate, task completion time, and developer satisfaction
  • 1.Provide ongoing support for model selection, including swapping in Qwen or DeepSeek if needed
  • 2.Optimize semantic retrieval for any new repositories added by the client
  • 3.Adjust write-gate rules based on usage patterns to reduce friction while maintaining security
  • 1.Prepare a quarterly optimization report summarizing agent performance and cost savings vs cloud tools
  • 2.Recommend upgrades to Enterprise plan if client needs air-gapped deployment or SSO/SAML
  • 3.Plan for scaling the retainer to additional developer machines or teams
  • 1.Finalize the retainer agreement with clear SLAs for response time and uptime
  • 2.Invoice for the setup fee and first month of management
  • 3.Schedule the next monthly review to ensure ongoing value delivery
$2,500 setup fee plus $99.99/month per developer seat for the Business plan, with optional Enterprise custom pricing for air-gapped deployments5-10 days for initial setup and handoff, then ongoing monthly management
ROI Logic

The $2,500 setup fee covers roughly 20 hours of agency time, yielding a healthy margin against the $99.99/month tool cost. Recurring management at $500-$1,000/month per client adds predictable revenue with minimal incremental cost, as the tool's zero per-token local model eliminates variable expenses.

Deliverables
  • GenerativeIDE deployment with bundled local model configured for client stack
  • Write-gate approval rules and semantic retrieval scope documentation
  • Custom prompt library and workflow guide for client's primary language
  • JSONL audit log review process and compliance report template
  • Managed service runbook covering daily operations and troubleshooting
Definition of Done

Client developers are using GenerativeIDE daily with write-gate approvals, audit logs are reviewed weekly, and the retainer is generating recurring revenue with a documented support process.
