Early access

# Three people, one repository, two weeks.

We are onboarding engineering teams one at a time, by hand, and the founder sets up every workspace in person. This page says what that involves on both sides, so you can decide in a minute whether it is for your team.

## What we ask

-   **Three people** who code with Claude Code (or Codex, in beta) every day, on **one repository** you really work in. macOS or Linux.
-   **Two weeks** of normal work. Nothing to write down: the client captures the decisions from your sessions, on your machines.
-   **Two short calls.** Twenty minutes at the start: install, list the repository, one real session, the first warning. Twenty at the end: what it got wrong, what you would miss.
-   **Honest answers** on days 2, 7 and 14 and, if it works for you, permission to quote you. No is a fine answer.

## What you get

-   **The pilot plan.** Everything, free, until plans go live. If that ever changes you hear from us at least 30 days before, and nothing is charged unless your team agrees ([Terms](https://rationalehq.com/terms#service)).
-   **A direct line to the founder.** He sets up your workspace with you, and when you answer the email that lets you in, he is the one who reads it.
-   **A say in what we build next.** The agents, connectors and rough edges early-access teams run into go first.
-   **Your data stays yours.** Export or delete the workspace whenever you ask; a deleted workspace is gone within 30 days, and out of backups 7 days later ([Terms](https://rationalehq.com/terms#termination)).

## What we never do

-   **Read your code or your transcripts.** Decisions are extracted on your machines with your own agent. We receive the decisions, short quotes and file paths, encrypted; never the conversation, never a file.
-   **Write into your tools unless you switch it on.** Comments on your pull requests exist, are off by default, and go on only when your workspace asks for them.
-   **Look at your decisions from our side.** Our staff see identifiers, states and counts, never content, and each time they look it is written in your own audit log.
-   **Sell, share or train on your content.** No advertising, no third-party analytics, no AI training on what your team decides ([Security](https://rationalehq.com/security)).

Before the call, the [documentation](https://rationalehq.com/docs) has the two install commands and the table of what leaves your machine; the [security page](https://rationalehq.com/security) has the rest.

## Request early access

Leave your work email. The form asks about your team and tools, a minute at most; we answer within a working day and set up your workspace with you.

Early access, onboarding teams one by one. Plans are published before anyone is charged.
