01
Left alone
An assistant with live send, publish, CRM write, or spend permissions acts in your name. When it hallucinates, you still own the message. Teams buy a chatbot and find they needed an operating desk.
Any industry. Humans stay in charge.
Assistants that draft. You decide.
Standing Seed helps teams put AI to work without handing it the keys. We install draft-mode desks and standing rules so assistants prepare the work, and people approve what goes out.
Nothing publishes, sends, contacts a client, writes to a system of record, or spends until a human says yes.
Draft first. Live later, if you say so.
A supervised desk is a working habit, not a chatbot left alone with your customers.
- 01 Bots drop drafts into folders you can inspect.
- 02 Standing rules keep each assistant on a short leash.
- 03 A person reviews, edits, and approves every outbound.
- 04 You remain the publisher, and the one who spends.

The actual problem
Unsupervised AI is the risk. Missing AI is not.
Tools that sound helpful can still email a customer, post in public, invent a number, or write into a live system without anyone watching. That is a different product than a desk that drafts.
02
Supervised drafts
Standing Seed sets up draft-mode workflows. Assistants prepare follow-ups, notes, and operating copy. A human reads them. Live systems stay closed until you approve a later, explicit yes.
How it feels
Three steps. Then you stay in the loop.
We interview to determine individual needs and the types of assistants that fit. Then we install standing rules so every bot stays on a short leash.
Discover needs
One focused conversation at a time. Where the week actually breaks: intake, ops, follow-up, or admin. Not a tech lecture.
Install standing rules and desks
Assistants get a job, a folder, and inspectable logs. Drafts land where people already work, including local folders or Google Drive.
Humans approve every outbound
You review, edit, and say yes before publish, send, contact, CRM write, or spend. The client remains the sole publisher.
How we work commercially
Hourly advisory. Time and Materials.
Standing Seed sells expert time, prompt engineering guidance, and AI architecture consulting. About $150 to $250 per hour. Rate is set in the statement of work. We do not sell a guaranteed turnkey product, a fixed ROI, or unsupervised output.
01
About 3 to 6 hours
Standing rules overview and setup coaching
Self-serve with hand-holding. You build and run your own bots. We coach the safety stack and the first standing files.
02
About 12 to 20 hours
One-desk standing rules buildout
A single assistant in a one-desk shape. Discovery, standing rules, draft folders, and a revision pass as scoped in the SOW.
03
About 24 to 40 hours
Multi-desk draft system advisory
The largest typical hourly shape. Several roles, shared standing law, and a trail you can inspect. Still Time and Materials.
Those names describe estimated hours of hourly consulting. They are not packages, not tiers, not SKUs, and not fixed fees. Live work is billed Time and Materials at the rate in your SOW.
Honest proof
We run this ourselves first
New Earth AVL Realty already operates supervised desks internally. Intake, ops drafts, strategy notes, and social drafts. Standing files, draft folders, and an explicit yes before anything goes live.
Straight answers
What this is, and is not
Do the bots send, post, or spend on their own?
No. Setups operate in draft-mode only. Assistants do not get live API permissions to publish, send email, write to CRMs, or spend money. A human says yes first.
Is this a fixed package with a sticker price?
No. Public work is hourly AI advisory and workflow consulting on Time and Materials, about $150 to $250 per hour. Hour estimates help you size a block. They are not SKUs.
Is this only for one industry?
No. Standing Seed is for teams in any industry that want supervised desks. Real estate operators can ask for a later vertical page. This landing stays general on purpose.
Do you give legal or compliance counsel?
No. We coach technical and workflow setup. The client remains 100% responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving every output before it goes live.
Will this form email you?
Not yet. This is a draft site. The form stores a copy in this browser only. Call or email Jon with the same details.
