Shape the Product.Lock the Price

We are early. Ten agencies shaping the product are worth more to us than a hundred simply paying for it. If you run a software agency and want a direct role in how delivery intelligence develops, this program is for you.

See the Terms

We run a software agency ourselves, and Tolmete was our early-warning system before it was a product.

Premium at Founding Price, With the Risk on Us

  • Everything in Premium, plus hands-on signal tuning
  • Monthly billing, never a year paid in advance
  • A 90-day out: no useful signal, no commitment, money back
  • Historical backfill: signals on past project data from day one
  • Free delivery consulting: we help you act on what the signals find. In exchange: a 12-month commitment, a written case study within 6 months, and one reference call per quarter.

The Agreement

Your Side and Ours

These are the commercial terms we carry into the agreement. The contract formalizes them and adds nothing new.

What you get

Locked for 24 months

Term

30% Off Premium, Locked for 24 Months

Your founding rate holds for two years, whatever list pricing does in the meantime. You pay monthly, with no year paid upfront.

Story

90-Day Money-Back Window

If the first 90 days produce no signal worth acting on, you can end the agreement and receive a refund for the paid period. That risk stays with us.

Data

Quarterly Reference Call

Thirty minutes a quarter with a prospective customer facing a similar delivery problem. Four calls a year, each scheduled around your calendar.

Plan

Historical Backfill at Connection

Tolmete reviews historical Jira activity and Git metadata at connection, so the first signals arrive on real project data instead of months later.

Access

Premium With Founding Benefits

Premium covers AI Signals, AI Project Summary, AI Chat, Zoho or QuickBooks, and the Client Portal. Signal tuning and priority support come with the founding seat.

Status

Founder Access and Roadmap Input

A direct channel to the people building the signals. Founding partners influence which signals we refine, which delivery problems we address next, and how those signals work in practice.

Founding Partner Recognition

Named on the Tolmete site as a founding partner, or anonymous, your call. First access to every new signal, and the seat terms hold if the team dips below 10.

What we ask

Locked for 24 Months During the First 12 Months

Exit

A 12-Month Commitment

The 12-month commitment begins at step four, once you have seen a signal from your own project. The signed agreement still carries the 90-day money-back option.

Consult

A Written Case Study Within 6 Months

Told in your delivery lead's own voice: how the team worked before, the first signal, the conversation it enabled. We draft; you approve every word.

Reference

12 Months of Delivery Consulting

Our delivery team works alongside yours on the projects a signal flags: scope baselines, estimation, client reporting. Lumitech does the same work on its own accounts.

Who It's For

Ten Places, Filled by Fit

Signals need real delivery data to be useful, so the founding program works for agencies whose projects look like ours. The standard plans stay open to everyone else.

A strong fit

  • Software development agency, 40–120 people
  • 10–25 parallel projects, each longer than 3 months
  • Fixed-price or T&M-with-cap contracts, where scope drift costs you margin
  • Teams use Jira and Git, providing the project activity and metadata needed to produce the signals
  • A delivery lead ready to tell us when a signal is useful, incomplete or wrong

Not right now

  • Staff augmentation or dedicated-team models, where there is no scope baseline to protect
  • Teams under 10 people, where the Free plan already covers what you need
  • Anyone looking for a time tracker
  • Anyone looking for employee monitoring or individual performance scoring

How It Works

Four Steps
to Your First Signal

You don't sign on a promise here. We start with a conversation, then you connect one project with read-only access, and Tolmete produces a signal from its historical activity.

01.Apply

Short Application Form

You tell us your team size, how much work runs in parallel, and what your contracts look like. Five minutes, and no deck required.

02.Talk

Delivery Review Call

We talk through where delivery risk shows up for you, and whether the current signals would notice it. If it is not a fit, we say so on the call.

03.Connect

Read-Only Connection, One Project

You connect Jira and Git for one project, read-only. Tolmete reviews that project's past activity and produces the first signal.

04.Sign

Signed Founding Terms

You decide whether that first signal earned its place. If it did, we lock the price for 24 months and start the year together.

We built Tolmete because our own fixed-price projects showed us how early margin risk begins, and how late most tools reveal it. The founding program gives the next ten agencies an earlier view and a direct role in shaping the product.

Why the Program Exists · Tolmete Team, Dubai

  1. Client Zero Is Us

    Lumitech, our own agency, runs Tolmete in production on client work. Every signal is tested on our projects before it reaches yours.

  2. Early Enough to Act

    Tolmete flags scope creep, delivery delays, and unbilled work while the project can still change and before those problems reach the invoice.

  3. Evidence Without Surveillance

    Tolmete reads ticket fields and text, commit messages, and pull request bodies from the tools you connect. It never receives source code, reads direct messages, monitors devices, or scores individual employees.

Questions

Before You Apply

Every founding partner gets the same terms: 30% off Premium, fixed for two years from signing, even if list pricing changes. The 12-month commitment covers the first year, and the second renews at that price. Seat counts and anything beyond the standard program are settled in conversation, not on this page.
You approve every word before anything goes out, and we can anonymize the agency name if your client's contracts require it. What we need is the story, not the logo.
About 30 minutes, once a quarter, with a prospect at a similar stage. We fit it into your calendar and never share your contact without asking first.
Practical delivery work: helping set a scope baseline before a fixed-price project starts, reviewing estimates that keep drifting, shaping a client report around evidence. It is the same work our own delivery leads do at Lumitech, applied to your projects when a signal shows they need it.
You see Tolmete working before you sign: in step three, you connect one real project with read-only access and review the first signal produced from its history. After signing, you have another 90 days across your live projects. If you do not see a single signal worth acting on, the 12-month commitment is canceled, and everything you paid is refunded. No form, no argument.

One Conversation to Start

Tell us about your projects and team. We'll test Tolmete on one project and tell you directly whether the program fits.
