Technical Founder / CTO

You dogfood agents daily.
Correction fatigue is personal.

You write the system prompts. You build the custom wrappers. You still get ignored. Your team follows you in and you become the bottleneck on every rule you remember and they do not.

If any of this is true, the audit will land
Dogfooding agents in your own workflow daily
Parallel-agent workflows (multiple terminals, multiple sessions)
Team of 3 to 15 heavy agent users
Custom wrappers, harness scripts, rule files in version control
Correcting the same thing weekly across sessions
You write the rules. You watch them fail.

You already are the correction compiler. We just want your job back.

You correct the same thing in three sessions, three days apart. You have a CLAUDE.md. It has 200 lines. The agent reads it at session start. By message 10 it has forgotten.

You fix it inline. You write a new rule. You paste the new rule in Slack. Your co-founder copies it to their CLAUDE.md. Now there are two CLAUDE.mds that disagree.

Calx captures the correction at the edit site. Clusters recurrences across your sessions and your co-founder’s sessions. Promotes the cluster into a Tether hook. The rule stops being your job.

You still decide what compiles. Calx never silently rewrites what your agents can do. But the enforcement is structural, not textual. The agent cannot forget it.

Four things the custom wrappers you wrote will not give you.

01
Your corrections compound instead of evaporating
Every correction is captured, scoped to your identity, and available for recurrence clustering. Nothing drops on the floor.
02
Parallel agents share the same enforcement
The compiled rules apply across every session, every terminal, every parallel agent. Your working memory stops being load-bearing.
03
Your team follows the same runtime, not the same doc
When you onboard the next engineer, they inherit the enforcement automatically. No CLAUDE.md drift. No incompatible wrappers.
04
The time you save is your time
Every violation Tether prevents is one you did not have to catch. At 30 to 40 percent correction recurrence, that compounds fast.

"I didn’t find this problem by looking for a startup idea. I found it by building with AI agents every day and watching them ignore everything I taught them."

Spencer Hardwick · founder, Calx Labs

Founder-built. The methodology Calx uses was used to build Calx itself. The recursion is not a marketing angle; it is the working proof.

Start with the rule you keep rewriting.

Pick one agent workflow you run weekly. We instrument the correction surface for two weeks, cluster the recurrences, and hand you the enforcement plan. First audit doubles as a founder-to-founder call with Spencer.
