A professional tool.
No presets, templates, canned looks or gimmicks. Precision, control, insight, safety and pipeline integration.
The professional brings the taste. The operator brings speed and exactness, and stays out of the way.
Principles
Six rules every Conform Labs product follows. They decide what we build, what we leave out and how we talk about it. If a feature can't meet them, it doesn't ship.
No presets, templates, canned looks or gimmicks. Precision, control, insight, safety and pipeline integration.
The professional brings the taste. The operator brings speed and exactness, and stays out of the way.
Every feature that changes a project reports what changed. We prefer a measurement over a claim, and a check that didn't run is never reported as a pass.
Tests and benchmarks come before "done", on real installs of the host app.
The professional sets how much the AI may do: full access, ask before every change, or read-only. Approvals are answered in the host app, never by the AI.
Inside the lab the same rule holds: releases, signing and anything public go through a person.
We compare by facts only. We never attack a competitor or the companies whose software we work with.
Product names never contain a vendor's trademark. "Surehand MCP for Adobe® After Effects®" is right; a name built from "After Effects" is not.
Products are MIT licensed and non-commercial. No paid tiers, no credits, no account.
It is also a condition of the open-source code-signing certificate our installers are signed with.
One task, one branch, green checks, then review. In the product, the same idea: one undo step per request, checkpoints that never overwrite the original.
Your work
An operator works on material a professional made by hand. These are the lines it doesn't cross.

It never
How we write
Plain, specific, checkable. The same rule as the software: say what happened, with the number.
