Why does it matter for agencies?
Rails Baseline sells for $129 one-time and hands an agency a working Rails 8 foundation with authentication, multi-tenant accounts, Stripe billing, and Pundit authorization already wired, so the first two weeks of a client build stop being architecture debates. The AGENTS.md and ARCHITECTURE.md files give coding agents canonical patterns to read before extending the codebase, which cuts the rework loop that normally eats junior developer hours. For agencies, the margin shift is not the license fee, it is the billable hours you stop spending on scaffolding you have built before.
