Deadwater.ai

Pricing

Deadwater sells owned AI infrastructure, not outsourced content labor. Start with a focused workflow, build an agent-ready context layer, or go all the way to a full Content OS install.

Both offers begin with a scoping call and end with systems your team can run without renting your intelligence back from a vendor.

Package A

Workflow Build

Automate a specific growth or content bottleneck with a focused production workflow designed to do one job well.

From $22,000

Typical timeline: 2-3 weeks

Includes

  • Two production-ready workflows
  • Defined input-output contracts
  • Prompt and logic design
  • QA, edge cases, and handoff docs
  • Walkthrough for internal use

Best for

  • Competitive content and SEO workflows
  • Research synthesis and draft generation
  • Teams that want a fast, targeted automation win

Package B

Context Layer Build

Turn scattered internal knowledge into an owned, agent-ready markdown system your whole team can use with Codex, Claude Code, and other AI tools.

From $25,000

Typical timeline: 2-4 weeks

Includes

  • Extraction from sources like Notion, workspace exports, docs, and internal files
  • Normalization into a markdown and git-backed repository
  • Folder structure, conventions, and operating docs for agent use
  • Packaged skills so the system works like an executive command center
  • Handoff for internal use across teams

Best for

  • Teams drowning in Notion sprawl and scattered docs
  • Operators already using coding agents and wanting better context
  • Companies that want owned AI infrastructure before a full site rebuild

Package C

Content OS Install

Install the deeper operating layer that governs content production, publishing, and execution so multiple AI workflows can run safely.

From $50,000

Typical timeline: 4-6 weeks

Includes

  • Code-based site or docs hub with markdown as the source of truth
  • Schemas, folder conventions, and publishing structure
  • Guardrails: validation, linting, and safe execution patterns
  • Documented execution hooks for Codex, Claude Code, and similar agents
  • Examples for SEO, competitive, and internal context workflows

Best for

  • Teams that want compounding leverage across the whole content system
  • Teams replacing brittle CMS and prompt-driven processes
  • Companies ready for a full operating-layer install

Which option should I choose?

Choose Workflow Build if you want

To fix one painful bottleneck fast

To automate a specific content or research job

A faster, narrower engagement with clear ROI

Execution without changing the whole system yet

Choose Context Layer Build if you want

To turn scattered company knowledge into something agents can actually use

To make Codex or Claude Code dramatically more useful inside your business

To own a markdown-based command center instead of another hosted knowledge tool

A strong first infrastructure step before a bigger system install

Choose Content OS Install if you want

To rebuild the actual content operating layer

To standardize publishing, schemas, and execution across the whole system

To replace brittle CMS and prompt workflows with governed infrastructure

Compounding leverage across content production, not just internal knowledge access

Ongoing support

For teams that want iteration after launch.

$6,000-$12,000 / month

  • New skills, workflows, and content types
  • Prompt, schema, and structure iteration
  • Model, tooling, and integration upgrades
  • Quarterly cleanup and refactors

Not required. Most teams start with one build, then add support once the system is live.

FAQ

What is the difference between a workflow, a context layer, and a Content OS?

A workflow build automates one defined job. A context layer makes your company legible to agents by structuring internal knowledge. A Content OS adds the full operating layer for content execution, governance, and publishing. They solve different depths of the same problem.

What is the difference between a context layer and a Content OS?

A context layer makes your company legible to agents. It extracts and structures internal knowledge so AI can reason with it. A Content OS goes further by governing how content is stored, executed, validated, and published. One is the knowledge foundation. The other is the operating system running on top of it.

Do you work with Notion and other existing tools?

Yes. The context layer offer exists specifically because most companies already have valuable knowledge trapped inside tools like Notion, docs hubs, workspace exports, and scattered internal files.

Who owns the system after handoff?

You do. The point is to leave you with an owned markdown-based asset, not lock your intelligence inside a vendor platform.

Can every employee use the context layer?

Yes. We package the system with skills, structure, and operating guidance so it can function like an internal command center, not just a developer toy.

What if we are not ready for the full Content OS yet?

That is exactly why the context layer offer exists. It is a strong standalone deliverable and a natural precursor to a deeper install later.

Build owned leverage

If your bottleneck is speed, context, or full-system execution, there is now a clean entry point for each.
