# Auteam

*/Startups/Auteam*

## Startup Overview

This system maps and executes cross-platform identity provisioning workflows. It detects application requirements and provisions user accounts across an organization's entire digital stack. By connecting directly to existing directories and downstream applications, it issues and configures functional user identities without requiring human intervention.

IT administrators waste hours manually executing provisioning runbooks or building fragile integrations to grant employees access to necessary software. As organizations add more applications, managing granular permissions across fragmented environments creates severe onboarding bottlenecks. This solution removes the delay by autonomously reading role requirements and executing the necessary provisioning steps across multiple platforms at once.

Traditional tools like ServiceNow ITAM or Okta Lifecycle Management demand extensive upfront setup, complex integration engineering, and constant rule maintenance. In contrast, this platform deploys with zero initial configuration. It maps access patterns natively and executes provisioning autonomously, replacing rigid manual IT runbooks with a dynamic, self-maintaining identity infrastructure.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting zero-touch onboarding completion for mid-market tech companies.
- Aiming to reduce manual IT runbook execution time from hours to seconds.
- Designed to achieve 100% compliance on offboarding de-provisioning instantly upon termination.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Provisioning · Price: ~$4–$7 per successful lifecycle event · Inclusions: Covers zero-configuration onboarding and offboarding workflows; designed to interface automatically with standard identity directories like Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra.
- Name: Complex Role Mapping · Price: ~$10–$15 per successful lifecycle event · Inclusions: Includes granular permission transitions, cross-platform role auditing, and intended webhook connections to proprietary internal tools.
- Name: Enterprise Autonomous IT · Price: ~$30k–$45k/yr site license · Inclusions: Uncapped lifecycle events for organizations up to 5,000 employees, including intended automated syncs with custom SIEM and HRIS platforms.
**Guarantee**: If Auteam fails to accurately provision or deprovision a target account within 5 minutes of an HRIS trigger, that lifecycle event is not billed.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Zero initial configuration is impossible for complex IT directories. Rebuttal: Auteam is designed to read existing active permissions as a baseline template, requiring no manual rule-writing.
- Objection: We need custom permissions for proprietary internal apps. Rebuttal: The system intends to map custom roles directly from your HRIS payload via flexible webhooks without manual IT intervention.
- Objection: What if the system mistakenly deletes an active executive account? Rebuttal: Auteam is built to include an optional human-in-the-loop approval step via Slack for high-risk destructive actions.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Auteam → IT Administrator → Corporate Employee
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires IT teams through a self-serve, zero-configuration tier that automates account provisioning for a single department or application cluster. Expands contract value by charging per connected SaaS platform as the organization routes all complex cross-platform lifecycle events and offboarding through the system.
**Agent Channel**: Designed to list as an available identity-provisioning action in the Anthropic Model Context Protocol (MCP) registry and OpenAI tool directories, enabling autonomous HR and IT agents to discover and trigger employee onboarding workflows directly.
**Primary Channel**: Organic search targeting specific administrative pain points (e.g., 'automate Jira and Slack provisioning script') and intended capability listings in the Google Workspace Marketplace and Okta Integration Network.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 14-day shadow pilot tracking 20 onboarding events alongside the manual IT runbook: The goal is to prove Auteam successfully reads active permission baselines and maps roles accurately without manual configuration.
- 30-day live offboarding pilot for a 2,000-person organization: The target outcome is executing 100 percent of standard deprovisioning events within 5 minutes of the HRIS trigger, triggering zero billing guarantee failures.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 5-minute maximum latency from HRIS payload receipt to full active directory provisioning.
- Aim: 100 percent compliance rate on automated offboarding de-provisioning events.
- Target: 0 manual rule-writing hours required to map baseline permissions for standard identity directories.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market software company (500-1,000 employees) IT Director: Demonstrating the shift from manual, ticket-based onboarding taking an average of three hours per employee to zero-touch, HRIS-triggered provisioning completing in under five minutes.
- High-turnover healthcare administration firm (1,000-5,000 employees) Security Operations Lead: Showcasing the transition from batch-processed offboarding with lingering access risks to 100 percent instant account deactivation across Google Workspace and Entra upon HRIS termination trigger.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- IT Operations Manager: Expressing relief that the Monday morning rush of manual Google Workspace and Entra account setups is eliminated, allowing the team to focus entirely on hardware deployment.
- Chief Information Security Officer: Confirming that the instant offboarding guarantee provides concrete assurance that terminated personnel lose all cross-platform access immediately.
- HR Director: Validating that new hires possess accurate, role-mapped system access on day one without requiring HR to follow up on pending IT tickets.

## Startup Top Risks
