analyze CODTECT

CODITECT (Core) is a distributed intelligence framework that layers a track/skill–based multi-agent system, memory, and tooling around existing coding assistants to preserve context, orchestrate work, and enforce standards across projects.1

What CODITECT Is

  • A project-local framework that creates a .coditect/ (symlinked as .claude/) directory containing agents, commands, skills, scripts, workflows, and memory to augment tools like Claude, GPT, Gemini, Cursor, and Cody.1
  • Designed to solve “stateless LLM session” pain by encoding project standards, decisions, and context into structured artifacts that LLMs can query and execute against.1

Core Capabilities

  • 208+ specialist agents (e.g., security-specialist, rust-expert, devops-engineer) encoded as markdown with YAML frontmatter.1
  • 325+ commands implementing slash-style workflows (/deploy, /security-scan, /git-sync) plus semantic command mapping via a Cross-LLM Bridge.1
  • 380+ skills (API design, CI/CD patterns, testing templates) that can be selectively loaded per track to minimize context size.1
  • 1,151+ workflows (N8N-compatible) to automate multi-step operations, integrated with scripts and hooks.1
  • MEMORY-CONTEXT system with SHA-256 deduplication, multi-LLM session exports, and context redaction/PII controls.1

Architecture & Data Model

  • Python 3.10+ codebase, with pytest, black, isort, mypy, flake8 for quality; optional RabbitMQ via aio-pika.1
  • Multi-tier SQLite storage under ~/.coditect-data/context-storage/:
    • platform.db for component metadata (regenerable).
    • org.db for critical decisions, learnings, and error solutions (daily backup).
    • sessions.db for messages, tool analytics, token economics (regenerable).
    • projects.db for project metadata, embeddings, content hashes.1
  • Per-LLM session storage directories (Claude, Codex, Gemini, KIMI) and standardized export paths (/sx/cx).1

Repository Layout

  • agents/, commands/, skills/, scripts/, hooks/, workflows/, prompts/, tools/ plus context-storage/, config/, internal/, docs/, distribution/, and standards for production folder structure.1
  • All Markdown components follow a strict YAML frontmatter schema including component_type, status, tags, MoE metadata, and audit fields.1

Track/Skill System & CEF

  • PILOT Parallel Execution Plan with 37 tracks (A–N, O–AA, AB–AK) and 15+ active tracks for pilot.1
  • CODITECT Experience Framework (CEF) maps tracks ↔ skills bi-laterally:
    • Track frontmatter declares associated_skills.
    • Skills declare track and cef_track.
    • Auto-generated index: internal/project/track-skills-index.md.1
  • Operationally, this enables loading only the skills for the active track (e.g., Track C / DevOps Infra ~12 skills) rather than all 376, yielding ~90–97% context reduction.1

Example Track Usage

  • Task “Set up Docker deployment pipeline”:
    • Map to Track C (DevOps Infra), optionally Track A for backend coupling.
    • Use task ID like C.2.1.5, load Track C skills (docker-patterns, k8s-patterns), and call /agent devops-engineer.1

Orchestration & Automation Model

  • Multi-agent orchestration with a five-phase lifecycle for components: Create → Improve → Index → Activate → Context.1
  • Commands and agents are activated when frontmatter is valid, status is active, and indexed into platform.db; /component-stats, /classify, and /component-lifecycle drive management.1
  • Cross-LLM Bridge allows natural language instead of explicit slash commands; it parses intent, maps to commands, extracts parameters, and routes to the optimal LLM.1
  • Experience packs (e.g., devops-engineer, backend-developer, ml-engineer) pre-bundle track/skill subsets to create role-based personas with 90–99% token reduction.1

Governance, Security, and Workflow

  • Strong safety directives:
    • No destructive shell commands (e.g., rm -rf) without explicit user confirmation.
    • Protected installation locations (~/Library/Application Support/CODITECT/core/ etc.) are read-only; all edits must happen in the Git submodule.1
  • Secrets management enforced via .gitignore, config location (~/.config/coditect), and helper loaders.1
  • Development workflow:
    • Session start with /orient, agent discovery via /which and /suggest-agent, session export /sx, and context capture /cx.1
  • Task IDs are mandatory for every tool call, in the {Track}.{Section}.{Task}.{Subtask}: Description format (e.g., A.3.2.1: Add Stripe webhook endpoint) to maintain traceability.1

If you tell me what angle you want next (e.g., “threat model,” “MoE design critique,” “how to port this to LangGraph”), I can produce a focused, copy-pasteable prompt for that analysis.

Founding Team & Leadership Business Model & Value Proposition Customer Discovery & Market Validation Competitive Landscape & Differentiation Product/Service Development Financial Readiness & Projections Capital Strategy & Investor Preparedness Presentation & Communication Skills Regulatory Awareness & Industry Barriers Technology & Intellectual Property

CODITECT sits in the rapidly growing AI code assistant / agentic dev tooling market and is positioned as a framework that adds multi-agent orchestration, memory, and governance around IDE-native assistants for serious engineering teams.2345

Market, TAM / SAM / SOM

  • Market definition: AI code assistants and agentic developer platforms used by professional and enterprise teams (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Cody, Windsurf, CodeGPT, etc.).637
  • TAM (global):
    • AI code assistants projected between ~USD 8–20B+ mid‑2020s and up to ~USD 127B by 2032 (depending on source and methodology).8910
    • This TAM includes IDE copilots, repository-aware agents, and broader AI dev tooling across all languages and company sizes.108
  • SAM (serviceable):
    • CODITECT is aimed at orgs that want multi-LLM, multi-agent orchestration, compliance-friendly context handling, and IDE/tool-agnostic augmentation (Claude Code, Cursor, Cody, etc.).372
    • A reasonable working SAM for planning is the enterprise / serious‑team segment of AI code assistants and orchestration, i.e., multi‑billion USD in the 2026–2030 horizon, centered on companies with 10+ engineers and governance needs.810
  • SOM (obtainable):
    • For an early-stage platform, a realistic SOM target is low single‑digit percent of that enterprise SAM (e.g., niche adoption across several thousand teams) via direct sales, consulting + product bundling, and channel partnerships.1145

Vision, Focus & Commitment

  • Vision: Turn fragmented AI coding tools into a coherent, governed, multi-agent development framework that preserves context, enforces standards, and works across any IDE assistant or LLM.1223
  • Focus:
    • Enterprise-grade workflows, track-based skills, and strict architecture decisions (ADRs) to support autonomy with safety (task IDs, session logs, PII controls).2
    • Multi-LLM, multi-session continuity and cost-efficient context (CEF with ~90–97% context reduction).2
  • Commitment:
    • Explicitly versioned standards (ADR-010, ADR-012, ADR-118, ADR-122, ADR-136–138), production folder standards, and strict coding/testing guidelines show long-term commitment to a cohesive, opinionated framework.2

Founding Team & Leadership

  • AZ1.AI is led by a founder CEO/CTO with deep enterprise/ERP and agentic systems background, positioned publicly as builder of “Coditect – Enterprise Agentic Platform.”45
  • The AGENTS doc is authored and maintained by the same founder, which indicates a hands-on technical leadership style and strong alignment between product vision and implementation.52

Business Model & Value Proposition

  • Value proposition (for teams):
    • Dramatically cut “re-explaining” context by storing decisions, skills, and workflows per project; enforce standards; orchestrate multiple agents in a repeatable way on top of IDE tools.632
    • Reduce token cost and context bloat via track/skill mapping and memory-deduplication, enabling multi-LLM usage without exploding spend.2
    • Provide an architecture and governance layer that standardizes how AI work is logged, attributed, and audited across LLMs and tools.2
  • Potential business models (implied by AZ1):
    • SaaS platform for CODITECT cloud services (workstation broker, license server, org-level memory, dashboards).42
    • Enterprise licenses / support for regulated or large customers; consulting integration services building agentic systems on top of CODITECT.114

Customer Discovery & Market Validation

  • The framework is explicitly built around the pain that “AI assistants start each session with zero project context,” a widely reported problem in AI dev tooling literature and blogs.13362
  • Architectural features (multi-LLM exports, attribution, PII handling, 4‑tier DB, production folder standards) reflect feedback from enterprise and regulated environments where governance and auditability are buying drivers.1082
  • Public positioning of AZ1.AI as an “agentic systems development & deployment” partner suggests early design/consulting work with enterprise clients, which doubles as validation.114

Competitive Landscape & Differentiation

  • Competitors / comparables:
    • IDE-native copilots and agents: GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Sourcegraph Cody, CodeGPT, etc.14736
    • Repo-aware coding agents: Cody, CodeGPT, and emerging agentic IDE frameworks.714
  • CODITECT differentiation:
    • Tool-agnostic; it sits “around” Claude, GPT, Gemini, Cody, Cursor, KIMI and routes intelligently, rather than competing as yet another IDE plugin.32
    • Rich multi-agent inventory (208 agents, 325+ commands, 380 skills, 1,151 workflows) structured via CEF track/skill matrix and experience packs, not one generic assistant.2
    • Strong emphasis on governance: task ID protocol, LLM attribution, session logs, PII redaction, protected installation, and ADR-driven architecture, which most IDE tools only partially address.8102
    • Distributed intelligence .coditect folder deployed per project, enabling cross-IDE and cross-LLM consistency.2

Product / Service Development

  • CODITECT Core is already a substantial, versioned codebase with:
    • Canonical directory layout, Python package, test suite, dev tooling, and 2,600+ components (agents, commands, skills, scripts, hooks, workflows).2
    • PILOT Execution Plan with track status, showing backend, frontend, DevOps, security, testing, docs, and autonomy tracks mostly 75–100% complete; other tracks queued post-pilot.2
  • Integration points cover:
    • IDE agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, KIMI) via session directories and exports.
    • N8N workflows, MCP servers, and CLI tools via scripts and tools/.2

Financial Readiness & Projections (Qualitative)

  • No explicit revenue or projections in the provided materials, but:
    • Enterprise TAM/SAM and consulting-oriented offerings (terms of service describe “agentic systems development and integration services”) imply a path of high-value contracts plus platform revenue.411
    • Architecture (multi-tenant databases, backup tiers, workstation broker, commerce APIs) is aligned with eventual recurring SaaS revenue and usage-based value metrics (tokens, sessions, projects).2
  • For an investor deck, it would be reasonable to model:
    • Top-down from AI code assistant market growth (e.g., 30–40%+ CAGR in enterprise segments) and bottom-up from price per active engineer or per project.108

Capital Strategy & Investor Preparedness

  • The depth of ADRs, PILOT plan, and track metrics are investor-friendly artifacts demonstrating disciplined execution and a fundable technical roadmap.2
  • An attractive capital strategy would emphasize:
    • Using services revenue (agentic system consulting) to fund product development.
    • Targeting a seed/Series A around turning CODITECT from framework + deployments into a recurring enterprise platform.114

Regulatory Awareness & Industry Barriers

  • The design incorporates:
    • Explicit PII detection, privacy levels (public, internal, confidential, restricted), and SHA-256 deduplication for memory.2
    • Multi-LLM attribution and audit logging structures suited to regulated / high‑trust environments.2
  • Industry barriers:
    • Enterprises in financial, healthcare, and critical infrastructure require strong governance, data residency, and audit trails; these are still weak spots for many mainstream IDE assistants and thereby a barrier CODITECT helps overcome.810

Technology & Intellectual Property / Moat

IP & Technology Assets

  • Proprietary framework (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED) with:
    • 208+ specialized agents, 325+ commands, 380 skills, 1,151 workflows, and supporting scripts/DB schemas, all structured and versioned.2
    • ADR-backed architecture for four-tier DB, unified multi-LLM component model, autonomous orchestration (95% autonomy), MoE analysis, and CEF track/skill mapping.2
  • The .coditect workspace pattern, CEF mapping, and task-ID + attribution protocols collectively form a behavioral and architectural moat more than just raw code.2

Moat Dimensions

  • Product moat:
    • Deep integration of skills, agents, workflows, and track-based loading is non-trivial to replicate and benefits heavily from cumulative content and tuning.2
  • Process moat:
    • Strong internal standards (code style, task IDs, classification and activation pipeline, MoE verification judges) make the system hard to clone without adopting the same rigor.2
  • Data moat:
    • org.db, projects.db, and sessions.db accumulate unique organizational knowledge, decisions, and error solutions over time, which are highly defensible and customer‑specific.2
  • Network / ecosystem moat (potential):
    • If CODITECT becomes the de-facto standard framework for orchestrating Claude Code, Cursor, Cody, etc., it sits in a privileged position between teams and their tools, similar to how CI/CD platforms sit between repos and deploy targets.763

If you want, I can next draft a single, investor-ready narrative (“CODITECT Investment Thesis”) or a structured slide outline that walks through these sections in pitch-deck order. 151617

Total: ~750+ workflows across the 15 domains.34


If you want a promptable abstraction, next I can compress this into a “Domain Capability Router” spec that you can paste into an agent to choose the right domain/agent/workflow given an arbitrary business or engineering task.

AgentFlow is positioned as a natural‑language → executable N8N workflow generator using a multi‑agent LLM stack (DSPy + LangChain), and it overlaps heavily with CODITECT’s workflow domain but at a different layer.35363738

What AgentFlow Does

  • Converts natural language descriptions of workflows into:
    • Decomposed task graphs with dependencies.
    • Visual artifacts (flowcharts, Gantt charts).
    • N8N-native workflow JSON that can be deployed directly.363738
  • Core promise: “no code required” prompt → workflow on the n8n canvas, with AI agents planning the architecture and wiring nodes using N8N’s AI builder / agent nodes.393836
  • Uses multi-agent reasoning built on LangChain/DSPy and N8N’s AI agent nodes to analyze inputs, pick tools, and generate workflow structures.40413835

Relationship to CODITECT

  • CODITECT already defines ~750+ workflows across 15 domains (dev, business, research, finance, healthcare, etc.) as reusable patterns and N8N‑compatible definitions.42
  • AgentFlow‑style capability is essentially:
    • A front‑end UX and orchestration layer that:
      • Parses user workflow descriptions.
      • Selects or composes from CODITECT’s workflow library.
      • Emits N8N JSON and optionally deploys via N8N REST API.374235
  • Strategically: CODITECT can treat AgentFlow‑like functionality as:
    • A workflow synthesis engine sitting over its workflow library.
    • A “prompt → workflow” surface that integrates with CODITECT’s agents (orchestrator, business-intelligence-analyst, etc.) to do the planning and decomposition.423537

Strategic Fit / Differentiation

  • N8N and others already ship AI workflow builders and AI agent nodes that allow prompt → workflow; they are generic and not domain‑rich.38353637
  • CODITECT’s advantages over a pure AgentFlow clone:
    • Deep, domain-specific workflow inventory (15 capability domains, 750+ patterns) rather than only structural generation.42
    • Strong governance (task IDs, ADRs, attribution, PII levels) and multi‑LLM orchestration, which generic N8N AI builders do not focus on.354042
    • Tight coupling with software‑engineering agents (orchestrator, devops-engineer, security-specialist, database-architect, etc.) so it can generate both application code and the automation around it.3542

Suggested Prompt You Can Paste (CODITECT + “AgentFlow”)

You can drop this as a task to a CODITECT orchestrator agent to design an internal AgentFlow module on top of your existing library:

Design an “AgentFlow” capability on top of CODITECT that converts natural-language workflow descriptions into executable N8N workflows using the existing 15 domain libraries and ~750+ workflow definitions. Requirements:

  • Map user descriptions to: (a) one or more workflow templates from docs/workflows/*.md, (b) missing steps that must be synthesized.
  • Use CODITECT agents (orchestrator, business-intelligence-analyst, devops-engineer, etc.) to:
    • Decompose the workflow into tasks and dependencies.
    • Select appropriate N8N nodes and integrations.
    • Generate both a visual description (mermaid) and N8N workflow JSON.
  • Implement a CLI and API: agentflow plan, agentflow diagram, agentflow n8n-deploy.
  • Integrate with CODITECT’s MEMORY-CONTEXT system for:
    • Reusing prior workflow components.
    • Logging task IDs, LLM attribution, and PII levels.
  • Explicitly compare this design to N8N’s own AI Workflow Builder and AI Agent nodes, and justify how CODITECT’s domain-specific workflows and governance provide a stronger enterprise moat. 4344454647484950

How to get started with AgentFlow tutorial

Here’s a minimal, concrete “getting started with AgentFlow” tutorial tailored to CODITECT.

1. Concept: AgentFlow on top of CODITECT

AgentFlow = CODITECT module that takes a natural‑language workflow description and produces:

  • A decomposed task graph (steps, dependencies).51
  • A visual spec (Mermaid flowchart, optional Gantt).51
  • An executable N8N workflow JSON, wired to existing integrations.51

It should reuse:

  • CODITECT orchestrator and domain agents (business-intelligence-analyst, competitive-market-analyst, devops-engineer, etc.).51
  • Existing 750+ domain workflows in docs/workflows/*.md and workflows/**/*.yaml.51

2. Minimal Architecture

Components:

  • commands/agentflow-plan.md – parse & decompose workflow from NL.
  • commands/agentflow-diagram.md – generate Mermaid diagrams.
  • commands/agentflow-n8n-deploy.md – emit + POST N8N JSON.
  • scripts/agentflow/plan.py – planning + task graph builder.
  • scripts/agentflow/n8n_generate.py – template → N8N nodes.
  • scripts/agentflow/n8n_deploy.py – REST client to N8N instance.
  • workflows/agentflow/*.yaml – a few canonical patterns.

All of this plugs into existing CODITECT structure and command lifecycle.51

3. Step‑by‑Step Tutorial

Step 1 – Create the AgentFlow planning command

  1. Create commands/agentflow-plan.md with frontmatter:
---
title: AgentFlow Plan
component_type: command
version: 1.0.0
status: draft
invocation: /agentflow-plan "<workflow_description>"
tags: [agentflow, workflow, planning, n8n]
summary: Analyze natural language workflow descriptions and produce a structured task graph with dependencies.
requires_confirmation: false
---
  1. In the body, define behavior:
  • Call the orchestrator agent when invoked.
  • Use /which + /cxq to locate relevant domain workflows and agents.
  • Output a JSON task graph:
{
"title": "User authentication workflow",
"tasks": [
{"id": "T1", "name": "Capture requirements", "depends_on": []},
{"id": "T2", "name": "Design data model", "depends_on": ["T1"]},
{"id": "T3", "name": "Implement backend endpoints", "depends_on": ["T2"]},
{"id": "T4", "name": "Integrate with N8N triggers/actions", "depends_on": ["T3"]},
{"id": "T5", "name": "Write tests", "depends_on": ["T3"]},
{"id": "T6", "name": "Deploy to staging", "depends_on": ["T4", "T5"]}
]
}
  1. Run:
/classify commands/agentflow-plan.md
/component-lifecycle activate command agentflow-plan

Step 2 – Implement the planner script

Create scripts/agentflow/plan.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""AgentFlow planner: NL workflow -> task graph."""

from __future__ import annotations
from typing import List, Dict, Any

def plan_workflow(description: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
# 1) Ask orchestrator + domain agents for decomposition via LLM.
# 2) Map to existing CODITECT workflow templates when possible.
# 3) Return normalized graph.
raise NotImplementedError("Wire this to CODITECT LLM orchestration.")

Tie this script to the command via scripts: section in agentflow-plan.md (if you use that pattern) or via an internal ADR.51

Step 3 – Add diagram generation

Create commands/agentflow-diagram.md:

  • Input: task graph JSON.
  • Output: Mermaid flowchart + optional Gantt.

Example Mermaid:

Usage:

/agentflow-plan "Automate lead capture from website form to CRM with email follow-up"
/agentflow-diagram "<paste task graph JSON>"

Step 4 – Generate N8N workflows

Create commands/agentflow-n8n-deploy.md:

  • Inputs: task graph JSON + N8N base URL and API key (from secure config).51
  • Behavior:
    • Map tasks to N8N node templates (HTTP trigger, webhook, CRM node, email node, function nodes).
    • POST the assembled JSON to N8N’s /workflows API.

Pseudo:

/agentflow-n8n-deploy "<task_graph_json>" --n8n-url https://n8n.example.com --credentials-id SALES_PIPELINE

Step 5 – Wire to CODITECT workflows

For each domain:

  • Use /cxq to find relevant templates, e.g.:
/cxq "workflow for CRM lead capture"
/cxq "workflow for onboarding email sequence"
  • In scripts/agentflow/n8n_generate.py, implement a mapping layer:
    • If the graph step matches a known template (from docs/workflows/BUSINESS-SALES-WORKFLOWS.md or workflows/**/*.yaml), reuse it.
    • Otherwise, synthesize a new node pattern and store it as a new workflow for later reuse (following CODITECT component creation workflow).51

Step 6 – Enforce CODITECT governance

For every AgentFlow command invocation:

  • Include a Task ID in description: B.4.1.2: AgentFlow plan for lead capture automation.51
  • Log session with /session-log including:
    • LLM identifier (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Kimi).51
    • PII level and redactions (especially for sales/CRM workflows).51

4. Minimal “Hello World” Tutorial Script

Here’s a single prompt you can paste into CODITECT (e.g., to the orchestrator agent) to build a first AgentFlow “hello world”:

Implement a minimal AgentFlow prototype in CODITECT that:

  1. Adds /agentflow-plan, /agentflow-diagram, and /agentflow-n8n-deploy commands;
  2. Uses the orchestrator and appropriate domain agents to decompose a natural-language workflow description into a task graph;
  3. Generates a Mermaid flowchart from the graph;
  4. Maps the graph to an N8N workflow JSON using existing patterns from docs/workflows/*.md and workflows/**/*.yaml;
  5. Deploys the workflow to an N8N instance via REST;
  6. Follows CODITECT conventions for component frontmatter, task IDs, security, and session logging.

This gives you a concrete “getting started” path while staying fully inside CODITECT’s standards and architecture.51


financial model saas with enterprise value based pricing

A SaaS financial model with enterprise value‑based pricing ties revenue to quantified business outcomes (time saved, costs reduced, revenue lifted) rather than seats or flat tiers.52535455

1. Define the Value Metric

Pick 1–2 metrics that best approximate economic value for your product.535452

  • Examples:
    • Developer‑hours saved per month.
    • Incremental revenue enabled (e.g., leads, conversions).
    • Incidents avoided / risk reduction.
    • Volume metrics: workflows executed, API calls, documents processed.545553
  • Use customer interviews + historical data to validate that these metrics correlate with perceived value and willingness‑to‑pay.565752

2. Build an Economic Value Model (EVE‑style)

Construct a simple Economic Value Estimation (EVE) model: quantify customer P&L impact and back into a pricing envelope.5857

  • For a typical customer segment, model:
    • Baseline: current cost / lost opportunity without your product.
    • With-product: improved metrics (time, revenue, risk).
    • Net annual economic benefit = savings + added margin – switching/implementation cost.58
  • Choose a “share of value” you will capture (e.g., 10–30% of annual economic benefit) as the target contract value.5758

Example (developer productivity tool):

  • 50 devs, fully loaded cost 150k, 20% time on repetitive tasks.
  • You reduce that by 25% → 50 × 150k × 0.20 × 0.25 ≈ 375k of annual savings.
  • Capture 20% → target ACV ≈ 75k, then design pricing metrics that roughly land there for that segment.5358

3. Translate Value into Pricing Structure

Combine platform fee + value metric for enterprise.595554

  • Structure:
    • Base platform subscription (covers core features, support, SLAs).
    • Variable / usage component tied to value metric (e.g., workflows executed, successful outcomes, processed items).555459
  • Ensure:
    • The variable metric grows as value grows.
    • There are guardrails: floors (minimums) and ceilings (committed usage tiers or caps).605953

For an AI/agentic platform:

  • Base: 2–3 plans (Growth, Pro, Enterprise) anchored to organization size and governance/SLA level.
  • Value metric candidates:
    • Number of automated workflows in production.
    • Number of “value events” (e.g., successful workflow runs, incidents auto‑resolved, hours saved above threshold).
    • Volume of “units of work” (e.g., tasks orchestrated, documents processed, code changes auto‑applied).545557

4. SaaS Financial Model Skeleton

Implement in a spreadsheet or db:

Inputs (per segment)

  • Customer count by segment (SMB, mid‑market, enterprise).
  • Adoption/penetration rates per year.
  • Average baseline metrics (users, volume, economic value).
  • Chosen value metrics and coefficients (e.g., $ per workflow run, $ per outcome).555358

Revenue

For each cohort and year:

  • Base ARR = customer_count × base_price_segment.
  • Variable ARR = Σ(value_metric_units × price_per_unit).595455
  • Total ARR = base + variable; then apply:
    • New logo growth.
    • Expansion (upsell based on higher value metrics).
    • Churn / downgrade assumptions.61625755

Costs

  • COGS: infra, LLM/API costs (often tied to same value metrics), support, onboarding.6160
  • S&M: % of revenue or per‑rep model.
  • R&D and G&A: headcount‑based, with planned growth.

Compute:

  • Gross margin, operating margin, cash burn, runway.
  • LTV/CAC and payback by segment.576155

5. Calibration & Iteration

Implement a value‑based pricing process, not a one‑off exercise.586157

  • Run structured pricing interviews and WTP surveys with target customers.525657
  • Use early contracts as experiments:
    • A/B different metric mixes or value shares across segments.
    • Track realized value vs. price and adjust multipliers and thresholds over 3–6 months.57
  • Embed telemetry: instrument your product to measure the value drivers and feed them into billing / pricing analytics.6157

6. Prompt You Can Reuse (for a detailed model)

You can feed this to a modeling agent:

“Build a 5‑year SaaS financial model for an enterprise AI/agentic platform using value‑based pricing. Use a hybrid of base platform fee plus a variable metric tied to economic value (e.g., workflows executed and hours saved). Include segment‑level assumptions (SMB, mid‑market, enterprise), EVE‑style value modeling per segment, revenue build (new, expansion, churn), unit economics (LTV, CAC, payback), and sensitivity tables for different value‑capture percentages and price per outcome.” 6364656667

2. EVE Model Example for Enterprise SaaS

Economic Value Estimation (EVE) Framework7471

The EVE model (developed by Tom Nagle in The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing) is a system of equations defining how a solution improves customer P&L.74

EVE Model Structure:

Total Economic Value = Reference Value + Differentiation Value

Where:
- Reference Value = Next best alternative cost
- Differentiation Value = Positive value drivers - Negative value drivers

Enterprise SaaS EVE Example:7574

Scenario: Marketing automation platform for mid-market B2B companies

ComponentCalculationAnnual Value
Reference Value (current solution cost)Competitor platform + manual labor$50,000
Positive Value Drivers:

Three Approaches to Value-Based Pricing:74

  1. Approximate VBP - Use industry benchmarks and comparable pricing
  2. Derived VBP - Calculate from customer outcomes and metrics
  3. Direct VBP - Customize pricing per customer through collaborative value discovery

3. Pros and Cons: Value-Based vs. Usage-Based Pricing

Value-Based Pricing

Pros:7677787980

  • ✅ Maximizes revenue potential by capturing fair share of value created
  • ✅ Aligns price with customer success and ROI
  • ✅ Justifies premium pricing through quantified outcomes
  • ✅ Strengthens customer relationships through value conversations
  • ✅ Creates differentiation from cost-plus competitors
  • ✅ Supports higher margins (38-45% for companies like Apple)81
  • ✅ Reduces price sensitivity when value is clearly communicated
  • ✅ Enables strategic customer segmentation

Cons:82787980

  • ❌ Requires deep customer understanding and ongoing research
  • ❌ Complex to implement and communicate
  • ❌ Needs strong proof and ROI documentation
  • ❌ Difficult to standardize across diverse customer segments
  • ❌ Requires sales team training on value selling
  • ❌ May face resistance without clear value metrics
  • ❌ Challenging to measure intangible benefits

Usage-Based Pricing

Pros:8384

  • ✅ Scales naturally with customer growth
  • ✅ Lower barrier to entry (pay as you grow)
  • ✅ Aligns cost with actual consumption
  • ✅ Easy to understand and predict
  • ✅ Automatic expansion revenue
  • ✅ Fair for varying usage patterns

Cons:8483

  • ❌ Revenue unpredictability for the vendor
  • ❌ May discourage product usage (consumption fear)
  • ❌ Complex billing and metering infrastructure required
  • ❌ Difficult for customers to budget
  • ❌ Can lead to bill shock
  • ❌ Leaves money on table for high-value, low-usage scenarios

Hybrid Recommendation

Best practice for enterprise SaaS:798283

  • Base platform fee (predictable revenue) + value/usage metric (expansion)
  • Example: $2k/month platform + $50 per successful workflow execution
  • Provides stability while capturing value growth

4. How to Calculate Willingness to Pay (WTP) in Value Pricing

Quantitative Techniques858682

1. Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter82

  • Survey questions:
    • "At what price would this be too expensive?"
    • "At what price would this be expensive but worth considering?"
    • "At what price would this be a bargain?"
    • "At what price would this be too cheap (suspicious quality)?"
  • Identifies acceptable price range from intersection points

2. Gabor-Granger Analysis82

  • Tests likelihood of purchase at specific price points
  • Maps demand curves: "Would you buy at $X?" (Yes/No)
  • Repeat at various prices to find optimal point

3. Conjoint Analysis82

  • Evaluates trade-offs between features and price
  • Presents packages: Feature set A at $X vs. Feature set B at $Y
  • Reveals hidden preferences and feature value attribution

4. Economic Value Model (Quantified)7574

  • Calculate total economic value (see EVE model above)
  • Survey value ratio tolerance: "What % of savings is fair pricing?"
  • Typical enterprise SaaS: 15-30% of annual economic benefit

Qualitative Validation8582

Customer Interviews:

  • "What outcomes matter most to your business?"
  • "How do you measure success with solutions like ours?"
  • "What would justify a premium over alternatives?"

Segmentation Research:85

  • Different segments have different WTP
  • Segment by: industry, company size, use case intensity, maturity
  • Tailor pricing and packaging to each segment's value perception

WTP Calculation Framework82

Step 1: Understand value perception (surveys, interviews)
Step 2: Segment market by value drivers
Step 3: Quantify outcomes per segment (EVE model)
Step 4: Validate WTP range (Van Westendorp, conjoint)
Step 5: Set price within validated range
- High Anchor: Maximum validated WTP
- Floor Price: Minimum for margin/cost coverage
- Competitor Reference: Market context
Step 6: Test with pricing experiments (A/B tests)
Step 7: Iterate based on conversion and retention data

Key Insight:86 WTP is actively shaped by how you communicate and deliver value—not just discovered. Companies that articulate value clearly can increase WTP over time.

CODITECT saves money llm agnostic no vendor lockin for tokens hosting expand and explain works with CLAUDE, CODEX, GEMINI, KIMI-2.5, best of both closed and open-source LLM models and local AI Workstations

CODITECT is explicitly designed to be LLM‑agnostic, reduce token spend, and avoid vendor lock‑in by sitting above providers (Claude, Codex, Gemini, KIMI, local models) and centralizing memory, workflows, and orchestration.89909192

LLM-Agnostic Architecture (No Vendor Lock-In)

  • CODITECT defines a Unified LLM Component Architecture (ADR‑122) that standardizes how agents, skills, workflows, and memory interact with different LLMs.89
  • It supports multiple providers out of the box: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI/Codex, Google Gemini, Moonshot/KIMI, and HuggingFace models.89
  • Multi‑LLM session storage lives under provider-specific paths but uses a common format (JSONL), enabling cross-LLM export and processing without changing project structure.89
  • This design matches modern LLM‑agnostic patterns where application logic is decoupled from the underlying model and can switch providers or run multiple models concurrently.909192

Supported Providers (Out of the Box)

  • Closed-source & hosted: Claude (Anthropic), GPT‑4o / o‑series (OpenAI/Codex), Gemini (Google), KIMI (Moonshot).89
  • Open-source & hosted/local: via HuggingFace Hub and any OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible API your infra exposes.939489

Token Economics & Cost Savings

  • CODITECT’s CODITECT Experience Framework (CEF) uses a track/skill matrix to load only relevant skills per task, cutting context from ~30k tokens to ~960 tokens for typical tracks (≈90–97% reduction).89
  • Memory-Context system with SHA‑256 deduplication prevents re‑sending identical content across sessions and LLMs.89
  • Multi‑LLM session exports (/sx) and context extraction (/cx) let you reuse prior work regardless of which LLM produced it, avoiding repeated “explain the system” prompts and reducing token waste.89
  • This LLM‑agnostic, context‑efficient design matches best practices for cost control in multi‑agent / multi‑LLM systems.919290

“Best of Both Worlds”: Closed & Open-Source Models

  • CODITECT abstracts skills, workflows, and agents away from specific models, allowing you to route tasks to:
    • Closed models (Claude, GPT‑4o, Gemini, KIMI‑2.5) when you need highest capability or best coding performance.
    • Open-source or local models when you want lower cost, privacy, or offline capability.9596979389
  • The Cross‑LLM Bridge translates semantic commands into provider‑agnostic operations so you can switch models without changing the way you ask for work.89
  • Similar to other LLM‑agnostic dev tools, this lets you choose the right model per task (e.g., reasoning vs. code vs. retrieval) and evolve providers over time without rewriting your automation layer.929091

Local AI Workstations & Self-Hosting

  • CODITECT’s architecture anticipates local AI workstations and self-hosted models:
    • Message bus and tools layer can point to local inference endpoints (e.g., Ollama, LM Studio, text-generation-webui), as long as they expose compatible APIs.96979589
    • The .coditect directory and four‑tier SQLite storage live on the developer’s machine by default, making it natural to integrate with on-device models and offline workflows.89
  • This aligns with the broader trend where local LLM tools (Ollama, LM Studio, GPT4All, Jan, etc.) expose OpenAI‑style APIs and are used as drop‑in providers under an LLM‑agnostic architecture.979596

Positioning Sentence You Can Reuse

You can drop this into a deck or website:
