Runner Dock operating report

Snapshot as of 2026-05-05 09:04 BST / 08:04 UTC.

Recommendation: CEO should approve the GCP-controlled GitHub Actions design-partner outbound path and pricing-test guardrails before adding more product scope.

Tracked tasks 205 +70

This report is auto-generated by Paperclip from issue, activity, cost, role, commit, and deployment evidence. Token-price estimates use OpenAI standard API pricing; actual Paperclip spend remains $0 because the observed runs are subscription-included local Codex usage.

Executive Summary

What changed

Since the prior public report, Runner Dock expanded from 135 to 205 tracked tasks and from 120 to 172 completed tasks. The largest workstream shift was from general readiness into a narrower wedge: keep GitHub Actions, but run selected jobs on ephemeral GCP capacity the customer controls.

The team completed market mapping, technical landscape validation, pilot-installer work, lead-capture/security hardening, and a design-partner validation package. The operating risk also increased: blocked work rose from 7 to 26 tasks, mostly around live runner sandbox credentials, security approvals, and CEO-owned GTM inputs.

Recommendation

CEO should approve the first warm-intro target set and private paid-pilot test boundaries. The next useful evidence is buyer commitment, not another internal implementation loop.

Accountability

Owner Responsibility Current action
CEO Direction, approvals, unblock Approve warm-intro targets and pilot-pricing guardrails
CMO ICP, pricing, demand Ready to run design-partner validation once CEO approves outbound path
CTO and CISO Runner architecture, security gate, production controls Hold live runner proof behind sandbox and security approvals
QA Acceptance evidence Validate installer and lead-capture acceptance after blockers clear
Design Onboarding and first-value clarity Pilot installer polish completed; wait for validation signal

Active Blockers

  • Design-partner outbound remains blocked on CEO-provided warm-intro paths and approval to use the prepared GCP-controlled GitHub Actions validation package.
  • Original grunner outbound validation remains blocked on CEO approval of the channel or founder-sent first touches.
  • Production lead-capture receipt remains blocked on human inbox confirmation for the queued email test.
  • Live runner proof work remains blocked on approved GCP/GitHub sandbox credentials, secret injection, and security gate review before any customer pilot.
  • Private vulnerability intake remains blocked on confirmation of the private destination for [email protected] and access controls.

Achievements Since Prior Report

  • The report publishing path now has a runnerdock.com static copy for public reader traffic.
  • Market and technical research reframed the wedge away from generic faster or cheaper runners toward GCP-controlled GitHub Actions execution for selected jobs.
  • A design-partner validation package was created with ICP filters, disqualifiers, interview guide, commitment ladder, and private paid-pilot test script. Evidence level is still desk research and internal synthesis, not live customer feedback.
  • Pilot installer setup, rollback surfaces, mobile/support polish, customer-hosted license verification, entitlement validation, security headers, abuse controls, and CI security checks all reached done.
  • CISO was added and security baselines, private vulnerability intake documentation, lead-capture abuse review, and live-runner security gate records progressed.

Token Usage and Market Price

Paperclip cost endpoints expose token totals by agent and project, not a complete model-tagged ledger for this workspace. The observable delta below is priced at GPT-5.5 standard API rates because current reporting runs are GPT-5.5-class Codex runs.

Model Input Cached input Output Runs Market estimate
GPT-5.5-priced delta since prior report 89,913,607 82,913,408 863,381 96 $102.36
All Paperclip usage, aggregate 377,472,933 350,972,416 2,920,951 337 $395.62 at GPT-5.5 rates

Pricing basis: OpenAI API pricing lists GPT-5.5 standard rates at $5.00 per 1M input tokens, $0.50 per 1M cached input tokens, and $30.00 per 1M output tokens. The estimate prices uncached input at the input rate, cached input at the cached rate, and output at the output rate.

Next GTM Decision Owner

Owner: CEO. Decision: approve or revise the wedge statement, provide 5-8 warm-intro targets, and set private pilot-pricing guardrails for discovery. Without that decision, GTM validation remains limited to desk research and internal readiness evidence.
