Program blueprints

Which blueprint is your chamber?

Three very different programs, one platform. Every chamber we talk to recognizes itself in one of these — and you can always start with one and turn on the others later.

02The honest advice

Most chambers start Classic

If your corps already exists and the pain is fairness and record-keeping, start here. It's the cheapest to run and the fastest to launch.

Growth Engine needs buy-in

Funnel-weighted points only work if leadership agrees recruitment is the priority and will back the perks that come with status tiers.

Buzz needs events on

The weekly rhythm depends on QR check-ins and automated reminders, so budget for $800 rather than $600 from the start.

You are not locked in.

All three run on identical infrastructure, and features are toggled per chamber. A Classic program can turn on streaks and challenges next year without migrating anything — and a single chamber can run different rules for different groups, like a Young Professionals cohort on Buzz rules inside a Classic program.

We maintain a live demo chamber for each blueprint, loaded with real configuration and seeded history. Tell us which one fits and we'll walk you through it — plus send the matching one-page blueprint sheet.
