The model is straightforward: charge $5K per month per client for unlimited agents, unlimited tokens, and unlimited infrastructure. You handle everything so the business owner never has to think about what a token is or how to set up Hermes. We walk through the full stack, the offer, how to find and close clients, how to onboard them using an effort versus impact matrix, and how to deploy and manage agent fleets on Orgo. Nick even sets up a Hermes agent from scratch in twenty-six seconds live on screen.
