CommerceGov Founder Pilot

90-day controlled production validation for Shopify agencies

CommerceGov is live.
The Founder Pilot is a 90-day engagement where we take one real Shopify store, put a governed production workflow around it, measure it against your current process, and expand from there.

Starting point

1 Shopify store
1-3 named operators
4 governed fieldsTitle · Description · Meta Title · Meta Description
1 shop-specific content policy

This is the starting boundary, not the final pilot scope.

Founder Pilot

$3,000 / 90 days

Founder pricing is available to selected pilot partners and does not represent future standard pricing.

How the pilot expands

Vertical - product governance

Start with four fields, then expand to broader product data and policy coverage.

Starting

Title · Description · Meta Title · Meta Description

Target during the pilot

Up to 8 governed product fields, broader policy coverage, and agreed exceptions.

Horizontal - agency operations

Start with one store and 1-3 operators, then expand across additional stores, operators, and shared agency visibility.

Target during the pilot

Additional Shopify stores, up to 5-10 operators where required, and agency-level operational visibility.

Expansion happens only when the previous operating boundary is stable.

Agency controls authority. Client controls policy. Store defines exceptions.

What we measure

Before the pilot starts, we document your current:

  • Review time
  • Rework rate
  • Product-change volume

Then we run agreed production changes through:

Proposal → Policy check → Human review → Approval → Controlled writeback → Production verification

At the end of the pilot, we compare:

  • Review time
  • First-pass approval rate
  • Rework rate
  • Proposal-to-production time
  • Governed throughput
  • Policy issues caught before production
  • Audit-trace completeness
  • Recovery or rollback evidence where exercised

No arbitrary action-count target. Success criteria are defined against your real workflow and catalog activity.

90-day outcome

By the end of the pilot, you should have evidence for:

  • A proven governed production workflow
  • Broader field and policy coverage
  • Multi-store / multi-operator operation
  • Agency-level visibility
  • Complete decision and audit evidence
  • A before/after operational comparison

The point is not to prove that CommerceGov can process changes.

The point is to prove whether your team can govern more production change with the same operational control.

Founder benefits

Selected Founder Pilot partners receive:

  • Founder pricing
  • Grandfathered terms after conversion under written agreement
  • FIFO priority for relevant roadmap features and integrations
  • Direct founder support
  • Input into product priorities
  • Priority access to relevant new governance capabilities

Who it’s for

Shopify agencies and commerce teams where multiple people, tools, spreadsheets, applications, or AI systems contribute to product changes.

If the problem is no longer generating the change but deciding what is allowed to reach production, who approves it, and how you prove what happened afterward, the Founder Pilot is designed to test that operating model.
