QM - Multiplayer Agent Harness

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

If you land 90 paying teams at $55/mo, that's $59k ARR - but framework markets commoditize fast and you'll likely be negative on cash through month 18, with only a 13% shot at hitting that number.

Go-to-market motion

OSS repo as top-of-funnel → GitHub stars → paid hosted/managed tier pitched to teams that hit scale or compliance walls, closed via async Loom demos in AI-builder Slack communities.

Key risks

LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGen already have 50k+ GitHub stars each and deep ecosystem lock-in - a new framework needs a genuinely differentiated runtime model, not just better DX, to pull developers away
Framework monetization is structurally hard: developers expect free, and the jump to 'pay us' requires enterprise features (SSO, audit logs, SLAs, on-prem) that double the build scope
OpenAI, Anthropic, and AWS are all shipping native multi-agent orchestration - the platform risk of getting feature-absorbed is extremely high within 12-18 months
