RADLAB LLC: Buy vs Skip (Multi-Agent Memory Federation)

IF your agency runs two or more coding agents (Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Devin, Gemini) on shared client work and needs a fact learned by one agent recognized by the others without recall latency, THEN the Hosted Managed plan at $12 USD per seat per month is the low-risk entry because it bundles always-on hosting, backups, and per-tenant isolation on the same engine as self-host. IF you need SSO/SAML, BYOC/BYOK, long audit-retention windows, or a HIPAA BAA for a regulated client, THEN move to the Enterprise tier, which is quote-only and built on the same self-hostable core. IF neither condition holds, defer: the $1,800 Starter Memory Setup only pays back when at least one client workflow actually spans multiple agents.

RADLAB LLC: Buy vs Skip (Multi-Agent Memory Federation)

“IF your agency runs two or more coding agents (Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Devin, Gemini) on shared client work and needs a fact learned by one agent recognized by the others without recall latency, THEN the Hosted Managed plan at $12 USD per seat per month is the low-risk entry because it bundles always-on hosting, backups, and per-tenant isolation on the same engine as self-host.

IF neither condition holds, defer: the $1,800 Starter Memory Setup only pays back when at least one client workflow actually spans multiple agents.”

When is it the right choice?
  • Agency delivery already spans two or more of the supported agents (Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Devin, Gemini, Hermes, GitLab) on the same client codebase, so cross-agent recall removes real re-briefing time
  • Client work sits in a regulated or security-reviewed environment where per-tenant isolation on Hosted Managed, or BYOC/BYOK and a HIPAA BAA on Enterprise, is a procurement requirement
  • The agency wants memory infrastructure it can resell as delivery capacity rather than a client-facing product, matching Bourdon's positioning as internal agent-fleet infrastructure
  • Onboarding tolerance is measured in days, not weeks: setup complexity is medium and time to value is days, so a 16-hour Starter Memory Setup fits a single sprint
  • A technical client already runs Claude Code or Cursor and can absorb an adapter install or MCP config pointed at a running Bourdon server without a change-management project
When should you skip it?
  • Client retainers are general-purpose marketing or ops work with a single AI tool per workflow, where a federated memory layer adds a runtime to maintain and no cross-agent recall to gain
  • The agency cannot staff self-hosted runtime ownership: the Hosted Managed tier is $12 USD per seat per month, but seat count scales with every agent user and the self-host path still needs MCP config and adapter installation
  • Procurement requires published enterprise pricing up front: Enterprise is quote-only with no list price, which stalls budget approval cycles
  • No client workflow currently writes memory that another agent must read, so the $1,800 Starter Memory Setup buys configuration with no measurable recall benefit
  • The team needs a client-facing knowledge product to sell under its own brand; Bourdon is positioned as infrastructure for scaling agent fleets, not a client deliverable
