DPSheet DP-001 ◆ Design Partner Program

We don't sell software.
We prove it on your projects first.

Halozen works through scoped design partnerships — not annual licenses. Your team runs real bids through the system, shapes the product roadmap, and only scales when the value is undeniable. If we can't save you dollars, we won't charge you.

What changes when we partner instead of selling.

Vendor License
The standard SaaS deal
  • Ship a product and hope it fits
  • Generic AI trained on the internet
  • 12-month license, pray for renewal
Design Partnership
What we do instead
  • Deploy on your environment, learn your workflow, then build within it
  • Institutional Memory trained on your firm’s own bid history and project reasoning
  • Prove value on 2–3 projects, then grow together when you’re ready

Sheet DP-003Section 03 / What You Get6 benefits
01DP-B01 · Benefit

Direct Product Access

Full access to the three foundations of the platform: the Live Obligation Matrix, the scored Risk Register, and the Reasoning Ledger. From day one. Not a demo. Not a sandbox. Your real specs, your real subs, your real risk.

02DP-B02 · Benefit

Founding Team on Speed Dial

Bi-weekly check-ins with Halozen’s founding team. Your feature requests go straight to the engineers building the system. No support tickets. No “we’ll add it to the backlog.”

03DP-B03 · Benefit

Design Partner Pricing

Heavily discounted Year 1 rates. We’re investing in the relationship, not optimizing for margin. If it doesn’t deliver, you walk — no penalties, no long-term commitment traps.

04DP-B04 · Benefit

On-Premise Deployment

Halozen runs inside your private VPN or Azure environment. Your documents never leave your network. SOC 2 certified. NDA-protected before any project data is shared.

05DP-B05 · Benefit

Shape the Roadmap

Quarterly product roadmap calls. The features your team needs get prioritized. If your estimators in Massachusetts need MassDOT prevailing wage mapping and your Texas team needs TxDOT SWPPP automation — both go on the board.

06DP-B06 · Benefit

Multi-State Coverage

Your firm works across state lines. We map the regulatory framework for every state your projects touch — TxDOT, NYSDOT, MassDOT, WSDOT, KDOT, FDOT, and beyond. One system, every jurisdiction.

Sheet DP-004Section 04 / The Three-Phase PathProve → Expand → Enterprise
01Prove
Months 1–3

Your team picks 2–3 active bids. We ingest specs, addenda, MEPs, and historical documents from your Procore instance or file system. The Obligation Matrix runs on your real project data. Scope gaps and cross-division conflicts get flagged on documents your estimators already know — so they can validate instantly.

Your commitments
  • Designate a champion (estimator or precon manager) to run point
  • Share 2–3 active or recently completed bid packages
  • Attend bi-weekly check-ins (30 minutes)
  • Give honest feedback — what’s useful, what’s not, what’s missing
What you walk away with
  • Obligation matrices on your own project documents
  • Scope gaps caught with exposure estimates and source citations
  • Bid Submission drafts (PQQ, RFI, clarifications) drawn from your firm’s own history
  • A clear answer: does this save us money or not?
Success metric: If Halozen doesn’t flag risk your current process missed, we haven’t earned Phase 2.
02Expand
Months 4–9

Your Institutional Memory is now 5–10 projects deep. The AI draws from your own bid history to suggest exclusions, qualifications, and risk flags. New estimators can tap into what your senior team learned on last year’s NYSDOT bridge or last quarter’s water treatment plant in Kansas — without asking anyone.

Your commitments
  • Run all new bids through Halozen (not optional — consistency builds the memory)
  • Enterprise stakeholder review: bring in VP of Precon, finance, or operations to see results
  • Provide feedback on drafting suggestions (used to refine the model)
What you walk away with
  • Past project lessons actively informing new bids
  • ROI proven on your own documents — scope gaps prevented, bid time reduced, change order exposure eliminated
  • Multiple estimators using the system independently
  • Internal demand: other teams asking for access
Success metric: Your team starts referencing Halozen findings in bid reviews without being prompted. The system is part of how they work.
03Enterprise
Month 10+

Company-wide deployment. The Live Obligation Matrix runs across your entire portfolio — every project type, every state, every team — from pre-bid through closeout. System of record status. Locked-in enterprise pricing through a multi-year RAMP contract.

What you walk away with
  • Every bid gets smarter than the last
  • Your team’s decades of experience are searchable, citable, and working on every new bid
  • That knowledge doesn’t exist anywhere else — and it doesn’t walk out the door when someone retires
  • The firms that adopted first built the deepest knowledge base — your competitors can’t shortcut 5 years of accumulated project history
Success metric: Enterprise isn’t a sales conversation. It’s the natural next step when your team says “we can’t imagine bidding without this.”

◆ Partner intake checklistRequired to start
  • 01

    Real Project Data

    We need your actual specs, addenda, and bid packages — not sanitized samples. The system learns from real complexity. NDA-protected, deployed on your environment, never leaves your network.

  • 02

    Honest Feedback

    If a suggestion is wrong, say so. If a feature is missing, tell us. If the tool isn’t saving time, we need to know before Month 6 — not after.

  • 03

    A Dedicated Champion

    One person on your team who runs point. They don’t need to be a VP — they need to be someone who bids every week and will use the tool on real projects.

  • 04

    30 Minutes Every Two Weeks

    Bi-weekly syncs with our founding team. 30 minutes. We review what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s coming next. This is where the product gets built.
