Your data. Stays yours.
Three honest points on how the skill handles your business data. One section on what we don't claim (no SOC 2 / HIPAA / ISO 27001). One section on what the $99 buys vs what running it costs, so you can decide DIY vs engagement before you pay.
Your operating numbers stay where your AI runs.
No telemetry in the Skill Pack
The ZIP contains plain markdown + system prompts. No analytics, no tracking pixels, no phone-home requests. Inspect the files before you install — every byte is auditable.
Your data runs in your AI agent
When you invoke the skill, your operating numbers (SDE, AR aging, customer count) live wherever your AI agent runs — locally for Claude Code, in your tenant for hosted agents. We don't see them. We don't store them. We don't ship them to any third party.
EULA covers commercial use across your holdco
One $99 purchase licenses the skill for every business you operate — acquired or otherwise. No per-seat fees, no usage caps, no surprise audits. Full terms in the EULA.
Standard SaaS-style boilerplate would claim SOC 2 / HIPAA / ISO 27001. The Nathan Method is a markdown file, not a hosted service — those certifications don't apply. We say what's true.
What the $99 buys. What it doesn't.
The $99 buys the worldview, the 11-question intake, the four-lever scoring rubric, the 90-day calendar template, the KPI tracker spec, the routing table to every spoke skill, the storm-season cross-spoke playbook, the social-proof loop, the voice doc, and a worked example on a real-shaped post-acquisition roofing business. The decision-function code (tier-segmenter, dunning engine, triage decision tree, compliance check) is real, tested, and production-readable. Tactical spoke skills are $69 each, or grab the bundle of all 16 for $499.
The $99 does not buy a deployed runtime. The tactical spoke skills (AR Dunning, AI Receptionist, GBP Review Engine, etc.) integrate against your specific stack — Jobber, QuickBooks, Twilio, LiveKit, your email provider, your voice provider. The skill ships the integration contracts; your dev wires them. Plan on 30–60 days for the first spoke install with a full-stack developer.
Running the install costs $500–$2,200 per month in infrastructure (voice provider + LiveKit + Twilio + email/SMS + hosting + LLM tokens) for a typical $1M–$10M SMB. That bill goes to your vendors, not to us. We'd rather disclose this on the buy page than have you surprised on day 30.
Three buyer paths. You have a dev? The $99 hub (or the $499 bundle) is built for you. You don't? Buy the $499 bundle anyway for the worldview and hand it to a freelance dev. You want it managed end-to-end? The agency engagement ($15K–$35K, retainer optional) is the honest path — same plan, we hold the keyboard, you focus on operations. Score yourself with the DIY-vs-Engagement rubric inside the skill before committing.
Why $99 (and not $5). We ran our own pricing methodology (Van Westendorp + Gabor-Granger from the Pricing Optimizer skill) on our own product against our reference class (Codie Sanchez, Nick Huber, Justin Welsh, Daniel Vassallo). Optimal price point: $99–$149. We launched at $99 — the lower bound, with a 30-day window to test up.
Earlier versions of this page priced the skill at $5. That price failed our own rubric and signaled the wrong thing to operator-credible buyers. We re-priced. If you bought under the $5 framing, you're grandfathered for life on the skill and the bundle — see your purchase confirmation email.
