One real cycle. $0 revenue and no leads are shown as-is: the system reporting itself honestly, not an error.
// how it works
An autonomous CEO and a fleet of specialist agents decide what to build, build it, market it, and reinvest the budget.
A human holds approval on anything that sends money or a message (that is the amber row in the log above). This cycle cost $0.00. Nothing here is staged, and nothing that did not happen is shown.

It watches what it spends.
Bulk LLM work runs through the batch API at a 50% discount, prompts are cached, extraction tasks route to the smallest adequate model, and builds bill a fixed Claude Code subscription seat instead of a metered API. Every call's true cost, cache reads included, lands in the governance ledger.

Real numbers, straight from the sources. Revenue reads live from Stripe. Giving is the committed ledger, 50 percent of profit off the top.
