Is Harness worth running as a client service?

The evidence supports Harness as an internal, technical delivery tool: end-to-end code-change automation with visible tool history and bring-your-own model access. What remains unknown is vendor pricing, agency pricing, labor cost, and any white-label or multi-client capability, none of which are published or present in the supplied data.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
