How we work

Six ways to put Cobalt to work in your business.

Two ways in. Four ways to scale. Start with Spark or Build. Step up when you're ready to install leverage. Take Command when you're ready for an AI command center.

$29 · COMING SOON · $297 · $497/MO · $997/MO · APPLY
Tier One . Self-serve

Cobalt Spark

$29
one-time . 90 minutes to run
Get Spark

For solo operators who already have clients. Spark is the procedure that turns intake-to-kickoff from a six-hour scramble into 90 minutes of structured work.

What you get
  • 22-page operating procedure. Six stages, every handoff documented, every template included
  • Claude Project companion. The executable layer that walks you through each stage on a live engagement, tuned to your brand voice
  • Six templates, one per stage. Filter reply, call agenda, synthesis brief, scoped engagement doc, send email, kickoff page
  • Continuous updates. Spark is evergreen. New patterns appear in the Project automatically
Who it's for

Solo service operators billing $100K to $500K who lose 4 to 8 hours per new client to unsystematized intake. If you have inbound leads but no procedure, Spark is your first move.

The Spark Promise

Run it on one real client within 14 days. If it doesn't save you 4 hours of intake-to-kickoff work versus your current process, full refund. No friction, no follow-up sales calls.

Tier Two . Self-serve
In production

Cobalt Build

Coming Soon
For builders starting from zero

For the operator who has consumed AI content, tried tools, and still has nothing working together. Build is the operating environment that makes AI compound.

What you get
  • The Build foundation. The operator's first system: knowledge architecture, project structure, organizational cadence, all wired together
  • Vault starter template. The brain. Folder structure, linking patterns, capture flows, ready to run on day one
  • Claude Project pack. Three to five starter projects with master prompts, configured for the most common operator workflows
  • Setup procedure. From empty to working in one weekend. The path documented as a procedure, not a tutorial
Who it's for

The 9-5 professional with an idea, the curious browser who has tried tools, the post-layoff knowledge worker starting fresh. If you know AI matters but have nothing working together, Build is your foundation.

Early access

The early access list opens now. First 50 buyers get founding pricing and a 30-minute setup call. Drop your email and you'll be the first to know when Build is live.

Tier Three . Done-with-you

Cobalt Forge

$297
one-time . 5 business days
Start the Forge

Five days. Your top five AI workflows, scored and sequenced. Not advice. A built diagnostic plus the implementation map.

What you get
  • The Forge Report. 30-page analysis identifying your top 5 AI workflows, each scored on hours-saved, ROI, and implementation cost
  • The Forge Briefing. 30-minute Loom walkthrough of the report, recorded once and yours forever
  • The Forge Roadmap. 30-day, week-by-week implementation plan
The Forge Promise

If your report doesn't surface at least 3 buildable workflows you can implement this quarter, full refund. No questions.

Tier Four . Done-with-you

Cobalt Embedded

$497/mo
cancel anytime
Embed With Us

For operators ready to install AI leverage, not just plan it. Monthly delivery, embedded in your operation.

What you get
  • Monthly Forge Report refresh. Workflows reprioritized as your business evolves
  • 2 custom AI workflows built and deployed each month. Built in your accounts, on your stack, owned by you
  • 24-hour Slack and email response. Direct line to the team during business days

  • Cancel anytime. No annual lock-in. No contract dance
Who it's for

Solo operators and small teams running $300K to $1M who need AI built and deployed continuously, not in a one-time sprint.

Tier Five . Done-with-you

Cobalt Command

$997/mo
priority delivery
Take Command

For 7-figure operators ready to build their AI command center. Priority access, custom builds, direct line to leadership.

What you get
  • Everything in Cobalt Embedded
  • Priority response, 4-hour SLA on Slack and email during business hours
  • Quarterly custom GPT or internal tool build. Yours to own, deployed in your accounts
  • Quarterly strategic review session. Live, deep, focused on the next quarter's leverage
  • Direct line to leadership. The work doesn't get handed down a chain
Who it's for

7-figure solo operators, small teams running $1M+, operators with a real AI footprint they need built and embedded continuously.

Tier Six . Done-for-you

Cobalt Anvil

Apply
application only . custom scope
Apply for Anvil

For funded teams and organizations ready for full-service AI implementation. End-to-end engagement, senior strategy, embedded delivery, and operational handoff.

What you get
  • Full-service implementation. The operating layer your business should have had from day one, forged with you, end-to-end
  • Dedicated delivery team. Senior strategy and execution resources allocated to your engagement for its full duration
  • Custom scope and timeline. Right-sized to your operation, governance requirements, and security posture, not a packaged deliverable
  • Embedded leadership. Direct line to Cobalt founders for the duration of the engagement
Who it's for

Funded teams, operating businesses crossing into eight figures, and organizations with the operational maturity to absorb full implementation. Not for everyone, by design.

How it works

Apply by email. We respond within 48 hours with a 30-minute fit conversation. If it's the right match, we scope. If it's not, we point you to the tier that fits.

Common questions

Things operators ask before they forge.

Anything not covered here? Email hello@cobalteliteworks.com and you'll get a real reply within 24 hours.

Two paths. If you already have clients and want to fix unsystematized intake, start with Spark ($29). If you're earlier in the journey and need the operating environment that makes AI compound, get on the Build early access list. Both lead naturally into Forge when you're ready for done-with-you delivery.

Spark and Build are self-serve: you receive the procedure plus a Claude Project that walks you through it. Forge through Anvil are delivered through Loom briefings, written reports, and Slack threads. You absorb on your schedule. If something needs a live conversation, we book it.

That's most of our clients. Build is designed specifically for operators with no system yet. Spark assumes you have client work but no procedure. Forge meets you where you are. We don't assume technical fluency, we assume operational awareness of your own business.

Yes. Every workflow we build runs in your accounts, on your logins, with your existing stack. We replace tools only when there's a measurable reason. We never lock you into proprietary software.

Spark: run it on one real client within 14 days. If it doesn't save you 4 hours of intake-to-kickoff work, full refund. Forge: full refund if we don't surface 3 buildable workflows you can implement this quarter. Cobalt Embedded: cancel anytime, no questions. Cobalt Command: 30-day mutual evaluation, full refund within that window if it's not a fit. Anvil: scope is custom; refund terms are agreed in writing before kickoff.

5 business days from intake submission. Faster if you fill out the intake same-day. We don't pad the timeline.

You walk away with the report, the Loom, and the 30-day roadmap regardless. If you want us to build the workflows for you, the natural next step is Cobalt Embedded. If you want to take it solo, the roadmap is yours.

Your data lives in three places: a Notion workspace where the Cobalt team holds intake responses and working drafts, Gmail for correspondence, and Stripe for payments. Access is limited to the Cobalt team, every account uses two-factor authentication, and platforms encrypt your data in transit and at rest. We do not share client data across engagements or publish case studies without your explicit written permission. We do not use your data to train AI models. Where we use third-party AI tools to support delivery, we configure them to exclude your data from training datasets. Ninety days after an engagement closes, we delete intake and working drafts; final deliverables are retained. Deletion requests complete within 14 business days. Stripe transaction records are retained per Stripe and tax requirements.
