CTS Ops

Proposed

Local-first business operations: jobs and calendar, mileage, client database. The back office, owned outright.

Method

Center Point Labs is AI-native. We build with frontier models — Claude Max — and open agent tooling — OpenClaw — on Linux. The leverage that lets one shop research, prototype, and ship like a team.

The tools are off-the-shelf. The judgment, the domain knowledge, and the finished work are not.
