Lanes Parallel Agent Margin Model
Lanes lets an agency run multiple CLI coding agents in parallel, each on an isolated git worktree, with centralized access control and audit trails. The margin model hinges on how many client workflows you can run concurrently without adding headcount. For a retainer client needing routine integration updates, you can deploy one agent per task, monitored from a unified board, while a senior engineer reviews only the diffs. With Lanes Link, you connect client tools like GitHub or Slack, and Access Profiles ensure agents only touch permitted resources. The $19 per month Pro plan covers up to 10 members, so a small agency can service multiple clients under one subscription. The model breaks when client tasks require deep, unstructured judgment or when the client insists on a GUI-first workflow, forcing manual oversight that erases the parallelism gain. Agencies should price per agent-hour, not per seat, to capture the leverage.
