| 46 | ## Build the product. Keep the revenue infrastructure. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | AI coding tools make prototypes fast. Turning one into a reliable business still |
| 49 | means rebuilding payments, usage metering, fraud controls, attribution, |
| 50 | affiliates, lifecycle email, and deployment. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Velobase Harness packages that work into an MIT-licensed framework for AI SaaS |
| 53 | builders. Start with a working product foundation, then spend your time on the |
| 54 | part only you can build. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | > Harness helps you build and monetize the application. Velobase Cloud removes |
| 57 | > the infrastructure and deployment work. |

| 59 | <!-- TODO: Replace with a 30-45 second product walkthrough: |
| 60 | idea -> generated repo -> working app -> usage billing -> git push deployment. --> |

| 65 | ## What You Can Ship |
| 66 | |
| 67 | ### Launch a paid AI product |

| 71 | |
| 72 | ### Understand which growth channels work |
| 73 | |

| 79 | Run an affiliate program with a double-entry ledger, refund clawbacks, referral |
| 80 | tracking, promo codes, and USDT cashout. |

| 85 | signup signals, guest quotas, and credit clawbacks. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | ### Operate without assembling the backend yourself |
| 88 | |
| 89 | Use built-in auth, multi-LLM chat, background workers, lifecycle email, admin |
| 90 | tools, Docker, Kubernetes, and GitOps guidance. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | ## Built For |
| 93 | |
| 94 | | You are... | Harness helps you... | |
