Everything you need to know

Sign up, hit Create Business in your dashboard, and give Arclane either a business idea or an existing website URL. That's the whole intake. Arclane handles everything from there — research, positioning, landing page, and the roadmap that guides the next 90 days. Your first cycle fires automatically and delivers four concrete assets on Day 1.

An email address and an idea — or an existing website. No business plan. No brand kit. No technical knowledge. If you have more context (target audience, revenue goals, competitor names), add it and Arclane will use it. If you don't, the first cycle figures it out. The free preview gives you 3 working days with no credit card required, so you can see real output before spending anything.

Yes. Paste your website URL during intake and Arclane analyzes your existing positioning, competitive landscape, and content gaps. The roadmap then focuses on what you're missing rather than starting from scratch. It's the fastest way to get traction on a business that already exists but isn't moving fast enough.

Day 1. Your first cycle runs immediately after you create a business and delivers a strategy brief, market research report, landing page copy, and a launch tweet — all in one go. By the end of Day 1, you have a live subdomain and four real deliverables. From there, cycles run nightly and build on what came before.

Four things happen in sequence during your first cycle: (1) a strategy brief that defines your positioning, target market, and differentiation angle; (2) a market research report with competitive analysis and opportunity gaps; (3) landing page copy written for your specific audience; (4) a launch tweet ready to post. Your subdomain at {slug}.arclane.cloud goes live with the landing page. You get email updates as each piece completes.

Arclane integrates payment processing directly into your business. Depending on what you're selling, that means Stripe for SaaS or services, or marketplace distribution for digital products. Your customers pay through a standard checkout — no technical setup required on your end. Revenue tracking, attribution, and reporting all happen automatically in your dashboard.

Revenue flows into your Arclane balance via Stripe Connect. You can withdraw to your bank account at any time — there's no holding period or payout schedule you have to wait on. The minimum withdrawal is $25. Your balance, transaction history, and withdrawal status are all visible in the dashboard.

Arclane takes 15% on direct sales and 5% on other revenue transactions. Here's the honest answer for why: Arclane builds your entire business, runs it 24/7, generates your content, manages your AI execution, hosts your website, and handles the growth strategy. Most agencies charge $5,000–$20,000/month and do a fraction of that. If your business is doing well enough that the platform fee becomes a real number worth negotiating, reach out — we discuss lower rates for businesses exceeding $10k/month in revenue.

Arclane builds your growth strategy into every cycle. The roadmap includes content distribution, social posting, and competitive positioning as standard deliverables — not add-ons. Your Day 1 launch tweet is the first distribution push. From there, cycles produce blog content, social posts, and market-specific messaging designed to attract the right audience. The dashboard tracks what's getting traction so future cycles double down on what works.

Yes — the minimum withdrawal is $25. Once your balance reaches that threshold, you can initiate a withdrawal at any time from the dashboard. There are no delays, no approval queues, and no limits on how often you withdraw.

A cycle is one full execution run for your business. It's the unit of work in Arclane — the equivalent of a productive working day. Each cycle picks up where the last one left off, advances your roadmap milestone, and produces concrete deliverables. One cycle equals one working day from your monthly allocation.

Arclane reviews your current roadmap phase, picks the highest-priority milestone, and executes the task queue for that milestone. Depending on where you are in the 90-day program, a cycle might produce market research, a blog post, a competitive analysis, a strategy update, new landing page copy, social content, or a health score review. Everything gets saved to your content library and tagged by phase and milestone so nothing gets lost.

Scheduled cycles run automatically every night at 2 AM, as long as you have working days remaining. If your plan includes 20 working days per month, a cycle runs each night for roughly 20 days, then pauses until your allocation resets. You can also trigger cycles manually from the dashboard — each manual run uses one working day from your balance.

Yes. The dashboard has a Run Cycle Now button that fires a cycle immediately. It uses one working day from your balance, just like a scheduled run. This is useful when you've updated your business context, want to accelerate a specific milestone, or just don't want to wait until 2 AM.

Yes. Your first cycle produces a landing page and deploys it automatically to your Arclane subdomain. Arclane generates the copy, structure, and messaging based on your business intake. As your roadmap advances, the site evolves — updated positioning, new content sections, and conversion copy get added over time. You don't need to touch any code.

Yes. You can review and edit all content Arclane produces — including landing page copy — from your content library. If something doesn't fit your voice, change it. Arclane learns from your edits over time and adjusts future output accordingly. You're always in control of what gets published.

Your landing page includes a lead capture form out of the box. Leads are stored in your Arclane dashboard and can be pushed to your tools via webhook. You can connect Zapier or n8n to route leads into your CRM, email list, or wherever you manage contacts. Conversion data flows back into Arclane so cycles can optimize towards what's actually converting.

Every business gets a subdomain at {slug}.arclane.cloud automatically — no setup required. Custom domain support (connecting your own yourbrand.com) is on the roadmap and coming soon. If a custom domain is critical for you right now, get in touch and we'll let you know when it's ready for early access.

It's a structured program that takes a business from idea to traction in 90 days through daily execution cycles. Every day has a specific milestone tied to one of four phases. The roadmap isn't a generic template — it's initialized based on your specific business intake and adapts as you progress. Graduation from each phase requires meeting real criteria, not just surviving long enough.

Foundation — Days 1–22. Core positioning, market research, landing page, and initial content. You end this phase with a live business surface and a validated market angle.

Validation — Days 23–45. Lead generation, conversion testing, audience feedback, and early revenue experiments. The goal is proof that people want what you're building.

Growth — Days 46–68. Content scaling, distribution expansion, competitive monitoring, and compounding traction. Cycles focus on doubling down on what's working.

Scale-Ready — Days 69–90. Operations tightening, revenue optimization, and preparing the business to sustain growth beyond the program. You graduate with a business that runs, not just a business that exists.

Arclane shifts into Forever Partner mode — an adaptive optimizer that keeps building indefinitely. Instead of a fixed roadmap, cycles are selected based on your current health score gaps, market signals, and competitive changes. If your content score drops, cycles prioritize content. If a new competitor emerges, cycles respond. The business keeps moving forward without you having to define the next step.

Phases advance when graduation criteria are met — not just when time passes. If your business is moving fast and hitting milestones early, Arclane will recognize that and advance accordingly. You can't manually skip phases, but you can accelerate through them by running more cycles and producing more output. The roadmap responds to velocity, not just the calendar.

Arclane is built on Claude by Anthropic. Different tasks use different model tiers: Opus handles high-stakes strategy work where depth matters; Sonnet produces the bulk of content and research; Haiku handles fast, repetitive tasks like summaries and formatting. The routing is automatic — you always get the right model for the job without paying for overkill on simple tasks.

Arclane produces strategy briefs, market research reports, landing page copy, social posts, blog articles, email sequences, competitive analyses, and growth recommendations. Each piece is tagged by type, phase, and milestone so your content library stays organized as it grows. You can also repurpose any piece into 8 formats — Twitter threads, LinkedIn carousels, executive summaries, email variants, and more — directly from the dashboard.

Yes, and you should. Arclane produces drafts built around your business context, but your voice and judgment make them better. Everything in the content library is editable. You can also leave notes and feedback that Arclane uses to calibrate future output. The more signal you provide, the tighter the output gets over time.

Yes. Arclane maintains a knowledge base for your business that grows with every cycle. Each piece of research, every competitive signal, and every outcome feeds into what comes next. By Day 30, cycles are operating with a detailed picture of your market, your positioning, and what's working — which is why output quality compounds over time rather than staying flat.

One-time day packs are also available from the dashboard if you need extra capacity without changing your plan.

One working day equals one cycle execution — either scheduled (nightly at 2 AM) or triggered manually from the dashboard. It's the fundamental unit of work in Arclane. Each cycle does a meaningful amount: it advances your roadmap, produces content, runs analysis, and updates your health score. Working days are not time — they're execution capacity.

Cycles pause until your working days reset at the start of your next billing month, or until you purchase a day pack. Your business data, content library, and dashboard remain fully accessible — nothing is hidden or deleted. You just can't run new execution cycles. If you're close to running out and a cycle is critical, buy a day pack from the dashboard to keep momentum going.

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from the billing section of your dashboard. Changes take effect immediately and are prorated — you only pay for what you use. Upgrading gives you access to your new working day allocation right away. Downgrading takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

Billing is monthly, charged on the anniversary of your plan activation date. You'll receive an invoice by email before each charge. If you upgrade mid-cycle, you're billed a prorated amount for the remainder of your current period. The free preview is never charged — you only enter billing when you choose a paid plan.

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Your business information is isolated per account — no cross-contamination with other users' data. Authentication uses JWT tokens with short expiry windows. Arclane enforces strict Content Security Policies, rate limiting on all endpoints, and HMAC-signed webhooks to prevent tampering. We don't sell your data, share it with third parties, or use it to train AI models.

You do. 100%. Everything Arclane generates for your business — strategy documents, research reports, landing page copy, blog posts, social content — belongs to you the moment it's created. Arclane has no claim on your content, your business, or anything you build using the platform. Use it, publish it, sell it — it's yours.

Yes. You can export your full content library, business data, and research history from the dashboard at any time. We don't believe in lock-in — if you want to leave, you take everything with you. Export functionality is available on all plans including the free preview.

The fastest route is the contact page — we respond to every message. Starter and Pro plans include email support with a response target of one business day. Growth and Scale plans get priority support with faster turnaround. If you're stuck on something urgent, say so in your message and it jumps the queue.

Use the contact page and describe what you expected to happen versus what actually happened. Include your business slug and the approximate time if you saw an error during a cycle. The more detail you give, the faster it gets resolved. Bugs that affect cycles or billing are treated as critical and addressed immediately.

Yes, and we read every request. Use the contact page and tell us what you're trying to accomplish — not just the feature you want, but the outcome you're after. The best feature requests come from real frustrations, so don't filter yourself. If something's missing that would make Arclane significantly more useful for you, we want to know.
