Harbor Artificial

AI quant trading, security reviews and fixed-scope builds,
with the price up front.

Three paths: AI quant trading systems, priced security reviews, and RAG, agents, and ops. Sticker prices, timelines, and a written definition of done. Not an open retainer, and not a profit guarantee.

Choose a path

Three ways in

Quant leads. Security reviews are second. RAG, agents, and ops stay a full path. Pick the outcome, then open the package with its price, timeline, and payment link.

Path A · Quant

AI quant trading systems

Starter through production platforms; Apex Institutional Quant by application. Risk rails, source handoff, and written acceptance — not profit, return, or win-rate guarantees.

$4,500–$19,500 50/50

Security

Security reviews

A 48-hour dependency and secrets scan of one repo, with the biggest risks ranked. Not a penetration test, an audit, or a certification.

$650 Paid in full

Path B · RAG, agents & ops

Docs, agents, sites & ops

Docs Pilot, Feature Module, Workflow Agent, FAQ bots, landings, checkout, and automations — a shippable slice for product teams.

$900–$4,500 Deposit before build

Quant work is an engineering handoff only.

Quant outcomes are engineering handoffs only; no profit, return, or win-rate guarantees.

Packages

Transparent scope, price, and timeline

The button is the deposit on Stripe. Balance and mid-milestone links are the backup gates — Harbor also emails those invoices. Final pay releases source.

How we work

Discover · Build · Review

Align on “done,” build to that list, then accept with a short bugfix. Deposit before we build. Change orders in writing.

  1. Discover

    We align on the outcome, what you’ll provide (docs, APIs, access), constraints, and a short written “done means…” checklist — before any build deposit.

  2. Build

    We build to that checklist in a fixed window. Longer packages include a mid-build check-in. Anything outside scope gets a written change order with price and timing before extra work starts.

  3. Review

    You accept against the agreed tests (pass/fail). You get a handoff runbook, plus a 14-day bugfix on what we delivered.

Engagement terms

Written terms before we build

Fixed packages. Written definition of done. Deposit before we build.

Written acceptance

Every package ships against a short done means checklist you agree up front. Acceptance is pass/fail on that list, not open-ended polish. You also get a handoff runbook.

Deposits before we build

Work starts after the deposit clears. Most packages are 50/50: final pay when finished, before source handoff. Longer builds like Workflow Agent use a mid-review invoice. Quant packages, bought alone, use the same 50/50: deposit at checkout, final when finished, before source handoff. The deposit does not release code. Blueprint sign-off authorizes build; final pay authorizes code release.

“Honestly we just needed our people to ask questions against our own docs and see where the answer came from. Harbor did that in two weeks for a fixed price. Checklist said done and it was done. No drama.”

Priya · Founder · Oakland P1 Docs Pilot

“I'm not technical. I am the person stuck in Slack at 4pm because a lead never made it into the CRM. They set up two workflows, error alerts, and a runbook so my team can rerun stuff without texting me. Total lifesaver.”

Chris · Ops lead · Atlanta P8 Ops Automation

“Solo. Money is tight. Checkout Kit got Stripe live in a week and I stayed the merchant of record. That mattered more than a pretty page.”

Sam · Indie maker · Boulder P10 Checkout Kit

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is included in a fixed package?

Each package lists promise, sticker and rush price, timeline, payment terms, in/out of scope, and inputs we need from you. Delivery is against a written acceptance checklist and a handoff runbook.

What is a founding price?

Docs Pilot, Feature Module, and Workflow Agent have a founding price for our first few clients, in exchange for written permission to publish a real case study about the project. After those first clients, the price goes back up to the listed “then” price. There is no countdown and no fixed deadline.

Can I stop a project once it has started?

Yes. Email [email protected] to stop. Amounts already paid stay paid. Work that has not started is not billed after the stop. The deposit is not refunded.

What does Harbor refuse?

We pass on HIPAA or clinical work, regulated finance systems of record, realtime voice products, and open-ended founding-engineer retainers. Better to know early.
