STONECLAD/ SYSTEMS Start with a Map
Stoneclad OS

Your business runs on you. We move it onto an operating system.

Stoneclad OS is a done-for-you agentic operating system for owner-operated businesses. We map how your business runs, build its system, wire in the tools you already use and launch in about 60 days. Then we run it for you, every month. You get a named right-hand assistant on your phone, and your company gets a monitored fleet of agents behind it.

Your right hand● online
07:00 · Morning briefOvernight the system handled the routine work. Three things need you:
  • 2 quotes drafted, ready to send
  • A client asked to move Thursday
  • 1 invoice is 14 days late
Send both quotes. Offer Thursday at 2.
Done. Both quotes sent and logged. Reschedule offered. I’ll chase the invoice with your usual note unless you say otherwise.

An operating system, not a setup.

The difference

Anyone can put an AI assistant on a laptop. What changes a business is everything around the assistant: the software it works inside, the tools it reaches, the controls it answers to, and the team that keeps it running.

Map. Blueprint. Build. Run.

About 60 days to launch

You talk, approve and use it. We do the rest. Nothing technical is required on your side at any point.

01 · Weeks 1-2

Map

We inventory your systems, audit where your time and your team’s time goes, and baseline the hours at stake.

→ System Map: bottlenecks ranked, hours and dollars on each
02 · Week 3

Blueprint

We design your system: which modules, which tools, who can approve what, where it runs and how we measure it. You sign off before we build.

→ Blueprint + approval-gate matrix
03 · Weeks 4-8

Build

We stand up your isolated system, build the modules, wire in your tools and load your SOPs and history. Then we brand it, name your assistant and train you and your team.

→ Launch, then 30 days of hypercare
04 · Every month

Run

We monitor it around the clock, fix and upgrade it, act on what the overnight review finds, promote modules up the trust ladder and report the hours returned.

→ Monthly report: hours back, reliability, next moves
Day 1 Launch · about day 60 Run → ongoing

The software layer.

Eight surfaces, one system

This is what makes it an operating system. Every install ships with the same kernel, branded as yours, and the same surfaces run Stoneclad every day.

S-01

The Right Hand

Your named assistant on SMS, WhatsApp, Slack or Telegram. Ask it anything, approve by reply, hand it work.

S-02

The Cockpit

A branded dashboard with every agent, module, approval and alert on one screen, for you and your staff.

S-03

The Ledger

Every task and action, who did it and what it produced. One source of truth for the whole business.

S-04

Memory

Your SOPs, documents and history, loaded so agents work the way your business already works.

S-05

Overnight

Each night the system reviews the day and has recommendations waiting for you in the morning.

S-06

Presence

A live view of every agent run as it happens, with a stop button and a note for the next run.

S-07

Gates

The approval matrix you signed in the Blueprint, enforced on every action: what needs you, what needs staff, what can run.

S-08

Watchdog

Off-host monitoring that notices when an agent goes silent, plus a canary that tests the monitoring itself.

Autonomy is earned, one rung at a time.

The trust ladder

Every module starts at the bottom. It moves up only when its record says it should: evidence of reliable work, not a date on the calendar. The approval gates stay on at every rung.

Approval gates, always on
Rung 1

Shadow

The module drafts the work. A human reviews it and sends it.

Agent: drafts
Human: sends
Rung 2

Assisted

The module does the work end to end. A human approves before anything goes out.

Agent: acts
Human: approves
Rung 3

Autonomous

The module runs on its own inside the gates you signed. Anything outside them still comes to you, and every action leaves a receipt.

Agent: acts inside gates
Human: exceptions only
Promotion: on evidence, reviewed monthly Demotion: automatic when reliability slips
Inbox triage Autonomous
Lead follow-up Assisted
Client replies Shadow

Modules. Pick the ones that return the most hours.

Catalog examples

Each module is a spec plus an implementation: its inputs, its gates, the receipt it leaves and when it can climb the ladder. The Map decides which ones go first.

M-01

Inbox sentinel

Triages every inbox, drafts replies and surfaces the few messages that need you.

Email · calendar · CRM
M-02

Daily dispatch

One end-of-day briefing instead of a hundred pings, plus urgent alerts only when they are urgent.

Every connected tool
M-03

Lead follow-up

Every new lead gets a fast, on-voice reply and a next step, and nothing goes cold in the pipeline.

Forms · CRM · SMS · email
M-04

Calendar ops

Booking, confirmations, reschedules and prep notes before each meeting.

Calendar · scheduling · email
M-05

Form & payment sentinel

Checks daily that every live form, booking page and payment link works, and flags what breaks.

Site · forms · payments
M-06

Content pipeline

One recording becomes posts, emails and clips, staged for your approval before anything publishes.

Drive · social · email
M-07

Client reporting

Plain-language monthly reports assembled from live data and ready for your review.

CRM · analytics · docs
M-XX

Your module

If the Map finds a bottleneck the catalog doesn’t cover, we build the module for it, to the same spec.

Scoped in the Blueprint

It plugs into the tools you already run.

Integrations

You don’t switch software. Stoneclad OS connects to what your team already uses and treats it as one system.

Email & calendar Google Workspace CRM & pipeline Payments & invoicing Stripe Scheduling & booking Docs & files Forms & website SMS · WhatsApp · Slack · Telegram Social & publishing Video & podcast platforms Community platforms Web tools with no API

Read first

Every connection starts read-only. Writes switch on only behind the gates you approved.

No API? We build a side door

For tools with no public API we build dedicated connectors and supervised browser automation.

Lean connectors

We wrap each tool in a purpose-built command-line connector instead of a generic plug-in, so agents stay fast, cheap to run and reliable at volume.

Where it runs.

Your choice, isolated either way
Default

Managed cloud

We host your system in its own isolated cloud environment and handle uptime, patching and upgrades.

Your cloud

We deploy into cloud accounts you own. You hold the keys and the bill, and we operate it for you.

Local hardware

An execution node in your office, or a workstation that runs local models on private data. It’s for privacy and control over where your data sits.

In every option, frontier reasoning runs on Claude, AI usage bills to your own account, and your cockpit shows what it costs.

What you own.

Your data stays yours

Yours

  • Your data, all of it
  • Your configurations, prompts and approval matrix
  • Your knowledge base: SOPs, documents, history
  • Your accounts and credentials, held in your isolated system
  • Your AI usage account

Ours, licensed to you

  • The operating kernel
  • The module and connector library
  • The delivery and monitoring tooling

If you ever leave, you keep a frozen working copy of your system and a full export of your data. Updates and monitoring stop. Nothing you own is held back.

Engineering doctrine.

Why the system holds

Autonomy behind an airlock

Agents do the work and humans keep the keys. Outbound, client-facing and irreversible actions pass a stage → review → go gate until a module has earned more. We build the gate before the agent.

Exit code 0 is not proof

A finished process tells you about the process, not the work. Our agents leave receipts of what they produced, and independent watchdogs check that the output exists.

Escalate on streak, not recency

Most alerting suppresses duplicates and ends up hiding outages. Ours climbs a severity ladder while a fault persists, so a three-day outage can’t pass as a duplicate.

The monitoring gets monitored

A synthetic canary fails on schedule to prove the alert path works, and goes silent on schedule to prove absence detection works.

One client, one system

Every client gets an isolated instance. There is no central plane holding many clients’ credentials, so a problem in one system can’t reach another.

Measurement is the product

The Map sets a baseline. Every gate decision is logged and every module’s reliability is tracked. The monthly report shows the hours returned against that baseline.

Start here

Start with a Map.

Every Stoneclad OS engagement begins with a conversation about how your business runs, where your hours go and what you’d hand off first. If it’s a fit, the Map comes next: two weeks inside your operation, ending in a ranked list of what to build and the hours each one returns.

Every system is scoped from its Map, so we discuss the investment on the call. Prefer email? michael@stonecladmedia.com
