Gardenpatch — Playbooks and Apps for Operators in the Agent Era

Gardenpatch builds playbooks and software for the people running marketing, sales, operations, service, technology, and people-and-culture when half their team is agents. The playbooks teach agent-era leadership. The apps do the work. Led by Tiago Santana, a growth operator with fifteen years running growth, from fintech scale-ups to his own service businesses.

Agent-Era Playbooks — $799 Each or $2,999 Bundle

Six interactive playbooks built from fifteen years of real operating work, covering Marketing, Sales, Operations, Service, Technology Strategy, and People & Culture — one framework that lands pays for the playbook many times over. Each opens with The Agent-Era Lens — six shifts that name what changed in your discipline now that agents joined the team — so you read the foundation frameworks through current reality, not the 2019 version. 27 interactive modules, exercises, self-assessments, PDF download, and progress portal.

Free Agent-Era Growth Audit

A free audit that analyzes your website and your answers across all six disciplines, then scores how agent-era your operation actually is — with the evidence we found. Returns your tier, where the gaps cost you, and the specific playbook to start with. Available at /audit.

The Operator Manifesto

The thesis behind Gardenpatch — nine numbered beliefs about why every framework for running a team got rewritten when agents joined the team and what operators have to do now. Available at /manifesto.
