// PLATFORM · OWNERSHIP
You own your app; you rent the cloud — and the contract guarantees the exit.
"You own everything" is three claims, and we mean each one precisely:
- Your agent — owned outright, exportable in open formats, free forever.
- Your data — owned outright, full export in a contractually defined format.
- The runtime — rented by default, with a contractually guaranteed exit door: your cloud, or a full handover.
// today vs. after handover
What moves, what was always yours
Today — we host
Your agent — owned
workflows · prompts · configs
Your data — owned
runs · documents · audit trail
SectorFlow One — rented
our cloud, we operate it
After handover — you host
Your agent — owned
workflows · prompts · configs
Your data — owned
runs · documents · audit trail
SectorFlow One — licensed
your cloud, perpetual license
// the three layers
Two layers owned. One rented — on your terms.
Your agent
Agent definitions, workflows, prompts, integration configs, knowledge bases, eval sets. Exportable on demand in open formats (JSON/YAML), contractually your IP, export free forever.
Your data
Full export of run history, documents, artifacts, vector stores, and audit trails — in an exit format the contract defines, so "we'll get you an export" is a clause, not a favor.
The runtime
The platform that runs your agents is rented by default — that's what keeps it cheap and managed. The exit is guaranteed by contract, not goodwill: run it in your cloud, or take the whole stack over.
// the exit door
Three ways to run it — move between them anytime
Same platform, same agents, three deployment models. Start hosted; move to your cloud when your security posture asks for it; take the keys entirely if you ever want to.
Hosted on SectorFlow One
Multi-tenant, managed by us. Cheapest and fastest way to run — most clients start and stay here because staying is genuinely cheaper, not because leaving is hard.
Pricing
The existing Operate tiers, exactly as published — hosting is included, no separate platform line item.
Your cloud, we operate
A single-tenant deployment in your own AWS or Azure account. You own the infrastructure from day one; we operate the platform inside it.
Pricing
Your Operate tier plus a single-tenant premium — and you pay your own cloud bill directly.
Full handover
The same single-tenant deployment, plus a perpetual license to run your instance and a source-escrow clause. The precise version of "we hand over the code" — defined, triggered, and in writing.
Pricing
A one-time perpetual license at roughly 3× the annual platform fee, plus a fixed-fee handover engagement — deployment, hardening, runbooks, training, and 90 days of transition support — and optional annual software assurance for upgrades and security patches. Decline it and your version freezes.
No hidden number: every formula above resolves against the published Operate pricing.
// what the contract says
Four clauses, stated plainly
Ownership claims are only as good as the paper behind them. These four are in every engagement:
Perpetual license
A perpetual, non-transferable license to your deployed instance. Ending the engagement doesn't end your right to run what we deployed.
Source escrow
Source code held in escrow, released to you if you exit on the full-handover tier or if SectorFlow can't continue as a business. You're not betting your operations on our longevity.
Defined exit-export format
The contract specifies exactly what an export contains and in what formats — agents, data, audit trails — so the exit is a checklist, not a negotiation.
No exit fees
No termination penalty, no export fee, ever. Export is free the day you sign and free the day you leave.
To be precise about what's open and what isn't: the platform is commercial software — that's why the escrow clause exists. The audit-chain library is the part we've open-sourced (MIT).
You keep us around because you want to, not because you have to.
That line is only honest if leaving is genuinely possible and staying is genuinely cheaper. Now you've seen the paper that makes it true. Start where every engagement starts: one workflow, one week, your numbers.
