RADLAB LLC Rule: Self-Host Bourdon Before You Resell It to Any Client

Should an agency adopt Bourdon as internal agent infrastructure, or position it as a client-facing product? Adopt Bourdon as internal delivery infrastructure first, prove cross-agent recall on one client fleet, and only then decide whether to resell it.

“Should an agency adopt Bourdon as internal agent infrastructure, or position it as a client-facing product?”

Adopt Bourdon as internal delivery infrastructure first, prove cross-agent recall on one client fleet, and only then decide whether to resell it.

Common Mistake

Agencies put Bourdon on a client invoice as a standalone memory product before validating that a second agent actually recognizes the first agent's writes, then discover the client expected a finished application rather than a federation layer the agency still has to operate.

Why This Works

Bourdon's own positioning is infrastructure for scaling multi-agent deployments, not a client-facing tool, and the Hosted Managed plan at $12 USD per seat per month keeps a small internal fleet cheap to trial. The recognition-first architecture is the differentiator worth testing: a fact written by one agent should be recognized by another without a latency delay, and that is verifiable inside a single client workflow before any retainer conversation. Enterprise requirements (SSO/SAML, BYOC and BYOK, HIPAA BAA, long audit-retention windows) sit behind a contact-sales quote, so agencies selling into regulated clients cannot price the deal from the public tiers alone.

Apply When
  • •The agency runs three or more AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Devin, Gemini) across separate accounts or machines and loses context between them
  • •At least one technical client already operates its own agent fleet and asks why facts learned in one session vanish in the next
  • •The delivery team can absorb a medium-complexity setup measured in days, including MCP configuration and adapter installation
  • •The agency needs per-agent tokens and trust tiers to control which agents read or write shared memory
  • •A client contract requires SSO/SAML, BYOC/BYOK, or HIPAA BAA, which pushes the deal to the Enterprise tier quoted on contact
