Advance — Foresight Software
You're the CEO. Advance is the rest of the company.
Advance is an organization the size of one person. You say what should exist; its factory plans, builds, tests and publishes. You keep the decisions.
This is one of the three ways I work. The other two — as a consultant and as a builder — are on the front page.
What you actually do
Writing the code was hard. It was never the point.
Turning an idea into code took years to learn and most of the day to do, so it got most of the attention. Now that part can be delegated. What can't be is deciding what should exist, who takes each piece, and when it's done. That was always what mattered — it's the job of whoever runs an organization. Advance is that organization at the size of one person: one box, one queue, one last call. It's built to be driven by one person; if two of you work on the same product, you share the seat.
Ask well
You write a request so someone can run it cold: what will be different, and how to check it. A vague one comes back as a question, not as a guess — which is how you learn to write a good one. How to write one →
Hand over the wheel
One switch per piece of work. On, the factory takes it end to end: plans it, builds it, tests it, publishes it. Off, you drive that one. You decide each time, and you can change your mind halfway.
Approve
The factory can finish a job; it can't call it done. That part is yours: you look at what changed, and one click closes it. If it isn't right, you say why, and that goes back into the queue.
Review
Once a week the factory reads back what you told it — every correction, every “not like that” — and turns it into how it works from then on. You don't repeat yourself; the organization learns.
The two modes
Manual and automatic, both switched on.
You're one person, and the work doesn't have to stop when you do. The factory is running all the time: when you write a task down you choose whether to drive that one yourself — and if you don't say otherwise, it goes into the queue. Same machinery, same rules, and either way you get to see what changed and say where it goes next.
You choose, one task at a time
You write what you want, and right there you decide: you drive this one and watch it move, or it goes into the queue — which is what happens if you don't say otherwise. What you decide not to do yet isn't argued about or forgotten: it's written down as a work order, complete enough to run on its own without asking you anything again.
The queue doesn't stop
The factory takes those orders one at a time, does the work, and verifies it. It isn't a second team: it's your own shift, carried on without you — at night, over the weekend, while you're on a call. You come back to a row of finished changes and a short account of each one.
One way of working
You and the agents close the same way: one commit per step, one pull request per job, the reasoning written where it will be read. That's why you can review what happened at three in the morning without learning a second convention.
Integrating is the safe part
Work lands in small verified steps, and what isn't ready yet stays behind a switch, so integrating stops being the moment things break. You're called in for the extraordinary case, not for every change. The rest of the time you're looking at what improved and saying where it goes next — which is what steering the factory actually is.
The method
This is how organizations are built.
Goals you can say in one sentence. Work written so someone else can pick it up. Decisions that stay with the person who owns them. None of that is about software, and all of it is what makes a company work at any size. Advance just makes you practice it every day, on your own product.
Start with me. I set the factory up on your project and teach you to run it: ten hours, one-on-one, on the thing you actually need built. The first call is free.
The ten hours are spread over two weeks, and they end with something of yours published. Between sessions it asks for about half an hour a day: answering what the factory asks, and saying what's done.
How the tool starts
Ten hours, and you leave with it running.
The training is not a course about AI. We set your accounts up together, put your real project in the factory, and work until you can drive it alone. In order, because each step needs the one before it:
Your accounts, in your name
We open your Claude account and your cloud account together — your name, your card. You own them. I administer them, so you never touch a console again unless you want to.
Your box, standing up
A machine of your own, configured, connected, and running Advance. It takes an afternoon and it happens once.
Your real project, not an exercise
We put the thing you actually need built into the factory and build it. You learn the method on work you were going to have to do anyway.
You drive, I watch
The last hours are yours. I'm there for the moments where the method isn't obvious yet — the ones that would have cost you a week of guessing.
What the tool costs
Learn it first. Keep it if it earns its place.
Two ways in, depending on who is going to sit at the keyboard. The subscription starts the day the training ends, so you'll have driven the factory before you pay for it. Consulting and projects are quoted on their own; write to me and we'll talk about yours.
For one founder
$2,000 once
- Ten hours, one-on-one
- Your accounts and your box, set up with you

- First month of Advance included
For a founder and their operator
$2,800 once
- Fourteen hours — ten with both of you, four more with you alone

- First month of Advance included
$300 / month, per box
Advance itself: the software, the updates, and me keeping your box and your accounts healthy. You're not renting my hours — those end with the training. You're renting a factory that doesn't stop getting better at making you effective. Cancel whenever — the box and the work stay yours.
| What it actually costs you per month | Paid to | Approx. |
|---|---|---|
| Advance | Foresight Software | $300 |
| Claude — the engine | Anthropic, on your card | $100 |

Bring the project you'd put in it.
Forty minutes on my calendar, no charge and no commitment: tell me what you'd build if building were cheap, and I'll tell you whether the tool is the right way in — or whether you'd rather I built it. If you'd rather write first, jaime@foresight.software.
