The five tracks

How each OpenCentric service gets from setup to live

Build your workspace first, then use the same operating layer to publish your work on Catalog, ship software through Factory, bring in Studio experts, or launch an Apollo campaign.

Create the operating room for your venture

01

Start with a workspace that holds your profile, team, saved matches, projects, catalog drafts, Factory assets, Studio activity, and Apollo campaigns.

Publish on Catalog

Publish your expertise for others to leverage and buy

02

Catalog lets people publish their own work: expertise, services, playbooks, products, modules, prototypes, and packages that others can discover, evaluate, leverage, and buy.

How it works
  1. 1Pick what you want to publish: expertise, service, product, package, subscription, prototype, module, or raise.
  2. 2Add scope, pricing, requirements, availability, proof of work, and delivery terms.
  3. 3Attach examples, outcomes, visuals, compliance notes, and buyer intake questions.
  4. 4Submit for trust review, then publish it so others can leverage and buy your work.
What you leave with

A live Catalog page that turns your expertise or work into a purchasable asset with clear terms, buyer intake, checkout or contact flow, and workspace tracking.

Factory

Build and ship reusable software assets

03

Factory is for teams that need managed modules, container images, pipelines, scans, SBOMs, and compliance evidence around their software supply chain.

How it works
  1. 1Choose what you need to produce: module, image, pipeline, repo package, or hardened runtime.
  2. 2Connect source, registry, cloud target, and policy requirements.
  3. 3Run builds with scanning, attestations, dependency checks, and control mapping.
  4. 4Promote approved artifacts into environments or publish them as catalog-ready assets.
What you leave with

A governed delivery lane with reusable artifacts, build history, security findings, and evidence ready for regulated teams.

Studio

Bring in experts when the work needs a team

04

Studio gives you named advisors and embedded operators across infrastructure, AI, app security, compliance, data, growth, and financial operations.

How it works
  1. 1Choose a fixed-scope project, advisory engagement, audit, or ongoing retainer.
  2. 2Share the workspace context, business constraints, systems, and urgency.
  3. 3Review a proposed scope with milestones, owners, price, and communication rhythm.
  4. 4Run the engagement from the workspace with deliverables, decisions, and invoices tracked.
What you leave with

A scoped engagement with accountable owners, clear deliverables, and operational visibility from kickoff to handoff.

Apollo

Validate and fund an idea without a launch clock

05

Apollo turns an idea, concept, prototype, or early product into a campaign where backers can pledge against tiers, milestones, and proof of progress.

How it works
  1. 1Create the campaign from your workspace or a catalog draft.
  2. 2Define the story, funding target, reward tiers, early-bird offers, and milestone releases.
  3. 3Publish the campaign and route interested backers into updates, pledges, and questions.
  4. 4Release funds through milestones as progress is documented and shipped.
What you leave with

A live campaign page with pledge tiers, update flow, backer management, and milestone-based funding.

FAQ

Questions by service

The short version: everything starts in the workspace, then moves into the service track that matches the work.

Workspace
Do I need a workspace before using the other services?
+
Yes. The workspace is the operating layer for your profile, team access, listings, Factory assets, Studio engagements, Apollo campaigns, messages, and payments.
Can multiple people work inside one workspace?
+
Yes. Invite collaborators and assign roles for owners, operators, delivery teams, finance, or advisors so each person sees the work they need.
Catalog
Can I publish my own expertise on Catalog?
+
Yes. Catalog is for publishing your own work so others can discover it, leverage it, and buy it. That can be expertise, services, products, playbooks, modules, packages, prototypes, or implementation offers.
Does a catalog posting have to be approved?
+
Yes. Listings go through a lightweight trust review before they publish. Regulated, financial, healthcare, or government-facing offers may need extra context.
Factory
When should I use Factory?
+
Use Factory when you need reusable software assets with build history, scanning, SBOMs, attestations, registry publishing, CI/CD templates, or compliance evidence.
Can Factory outputs become catalog offerings?
+
Yes. Modules, hardened images, pipeline templates, and packaged implementation work can be promoted into catalog-ready assets when they are approved.
Studio
What does Studio help with?
+
Studio covers fixed-scope projects and retainers across infrastructure, AI transformation, app security, compliance, data, growth, and financial operations.
Do I have to use Studio to publish or raise?
+
No. Studio is optional. Use it when you want expert help scoping, building, auditing, launching, or operating something faster than your team can do alone.
Apollo
What is Apollo for?
+
Apollo is for validating and funding ideas, concepts, prototypes, and early products with pledge tiers, updates, backer management, and milestone-based releases.
Can an Apollo campaign start from a catalog draft?
+
Yes. A catalog draft or workspace idea can become an Apollo campaign once you add the campaign story, tiers, target, milestones, and backer updates.
