How we operate

From kickoff to solo ownership

The white-glove model vs. running Echelon on your own, and the training transition between them.

Two ways this ends

1 · TRANSITION

You own it after 6 months

~6 months white glove → train your dev lead → you run it solo. Licence continues.

2 · MANAGED

Chinchilla keeps running it until you're ready

Ongoing white-glove operation — our engineer + agents keep building and operating. You keep the outcomes, no hand-over required.

Not sure? Most teams start with Transition and decide at month 6.
