The Tiers
Three Tiers of Temple.
Each Temple is bespoke. The tier defines the scale of the commission.
Squire
The first temple.
The Squire is where a sovereign-AI life begins — a solid, well-built foundation that is a real Temple from the first day, without reaching for the most monumental scale.
It is a capable workstation with a single high-end GPU, baseline sovereign networking over Tailscale, and two to three custom workflows built around what matters most to you. Your Sidekick is reachable by voice and text, on your own hardware.
This tier is for the hero at the start of the journey: someone who wants their data and their AI under their own roof, built properly, and room to grow into.
A foundation built to last.
Knight
The established temple.
The Knight is the Temple at full daily strength — more substantial hardware, dual-GPU or higher VRAM, in a dedicated server form factor built to run hard and stay quiet.
It carries a full sovereign-infrastructure layer: Nextcloud, Immich, Paperless-NGX, and similar services as you desire, so your files, photos, and documents live alongside your Sidekick rather than scattered across rented clouds.
Five to seven custom workflows are built and woven deep into your existing tools, with the integration work to match. The Knight is for those whose work demands sustained AI partnership and who want their Temple at the center of their digital sovereignty.
The rituals of daily practice, given a home.
King
The sovereign temple.
The King is the highest fidelity of sovereign AI infrastructure: server-grade hardware, multi-GPU, redundant storage with a proper backup architecture, and often a secondary travel or office device so your Sidekick is never out of reach.
Bespoke integrations of any complexity are in scope, and the relationship functions less like a hardware vendor and more like a part-time AI infrastructure partner — present, accountable, and invested in the long evolution of your setup.
This is where the language of realm enters honestly. A King is built not only for one person but for the work and the people that person leads — creative, entrepreneurial, scholarly, professional. Its posture is sovereignty, not dominance.
Commissioned for the hero whose realm demands it.
The covenant
Every Temple is kept, not just delivered.
Each Temple is paired with an ongoing maintenance relationship: software and security updates, model updates as the field moves, and periodic refinement of the workflows you rely on.
Maintenance scales with the Temple. A Squire is kept current and healthy; a Knight earns deeper, more frequent attention; a King is held to the response times its work requires.
The intent is a Temple that ages well — one that gets quietly better over the years, rather than a machine that drifts out of date the week after it is handed over.
