AWS Credits Available
Two tiers to apply for: Start with AWS Activate Founders ($5,000 credits, self-service application at aws.amazon.com/activate). Then pursue AWS Activate Portfolio ($25,000+ credits, requires an AWS-affiliated accelerator, VC, or incubator to submit on your behalf). Wyoming SBDC and Sheridan Economic Development Council are both pathways to Portfolio tier.
Ionos VPS (gunicorn/nginx/PostgreSQL), Anthropic API calls per evaluation, domain hosting. Credits offset compute and API costs as AuthorSuite scales.
EC2 (app server), RDS PostgreSQL, S3 (document storage), Lambda (agent processing), SES (transactional email), Route 53 (DNS). $5k–$25k covers 12–18 months of infrastructure at current scale.

United States / Wyoming
Structure OS LLC, Ltd. is the parent technology company behind AuthorSuite — a 31-agent AI publishing intelligence platform serving independent authors, screenwriters, podcasters, literary agents, and publishers. We are headquartered in Sheridan, Wyoming.
AuthorSuite solves a specific access problem in the creative industry: professional manuscript evaluation, script coverage, and publishing strategy consultation costs $150–$1,500 per engagement and requires weeks of lead time. Most independent creators cannot access this level of feedback consistently. The result is a massive talent gap where technically skilled writers fail commercially not because their work is poor, but because they lack the professional infrastructure to evaluate and position it correctly.
AuthorSuite compresses an entire editorial and production operation — manuscript evaluation, pacing analysis, character arc scoring, market positioning, comp title research, query letter generation, book proposal building, audiobook production, and social media campaign planning — into a single AI-powered platform accessible at $27/month. The platform features three named core agents: MARROW (manuscript and publishing intelligence), SLATE (screenplay and Hollywood development), and FREQUENCY (podcast and audio production).
We serve three customer groups through three product lines on one platform: ASI Creative for independent authors, screenwriters and podcast creators (consumer subscriptions and per-evaluation pricing); ASI Industry for publishers, literary agencies, production companies and competitions (volume evaluation pools, custom and co-branded programs, and no-fee competition partnerships); and ASI Pro for professional readers — story analysts, script readers and editorial consultants (monthly reader subscriptions). Industry buyers can build their own judging criteria into the score, creating a co-branded evaluation product for the B2B market.
AWS infrastructure would support our scaling evaluation pipeline, document processing, PostgreSQL database, and API gateway as we move from early traction to active B2B partner deployments.
Select: Early Stage / Pre-Revenue or Early Revenue — AuthorSuite is live at authorsuite.online with an active user base, subscription tiers, and Stripe payment integration. Platform is in production with active B2B partner outreach underway.
AWS credits will be applied across four primary infrastructure areas as we scale AuthorSuite's evaluation pipeline:
Compute (EC2/ECS): Migration of our current Flask/gunicorn application from Ionos VPS to EC2 with auto-scaling groups, enabling us to handle concurrent evaluation requests without manual capacity management during B2B partner submission windows that spike volume significantly.
Database (RDS PostgreSQL): Managed PostgreSQL to replace our self-managed database, improving reliability, automated backups, and read replica support as evaluation history and user data grows.
Storage (S3): Document ingestion pipeline — manuscripts, scripts, and audio files uploaded by users currently pass through our server. S3 with Lambda preprocessing enables proper document handling at scale across our 14 supported import formats.
Email (SES): Transactional email for evaluation delivery, subscription management, and B2B partner reporting — replacing our current third-party email dependency.
Select all that apply: Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon S3, AWS Lambda, Amazon SES, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Secrets Manager, Amazon Route 53
Structure OS LLC, Ltd. is currently bootstrapped. The platform has been built entirely from founder capital. We are actively pursuing non-dilutive funding (grants, cloud credits, SBIR) and have not yet closed an external investment round. This is our first cloud credit application.
ASI Creative (B2C): Independent authors, screenwriters and podcast creators: monthly plans Solo $27 (1 certified evaluation/month), Author $99 (3), Publisher $249 (10) and Studio $399 (20), or pay per evaluation with no subscription (Certificate Evaluation $49, Full Evaluation + Synopsis $89, Comprehensive Evaluation Suite $149). Subscribers can connect their own AI provider key and pay no platform markup on their own usage.
ASI Industry (B2B): Publishers, literary agencies, production companies and competitions: shared monthly evaluation pools (Imprint $2,900/month for 100 evaluations; House $5,000/month for 250), overage billed automatically, plus custom and co-branded programs. Competitions partner at no platform fee — certification as an entry requirement (entrants pay a discounted $25 per evaluation) and/or a referral rebate. Buyers build their own judging criteria into the score.
ASI Pro (Professional Readers): Story analysts, script readers and editorial consultants: monthly reader subscriptions from $399/month (10 evaluations) to $2,500/month (100 evaluations), with automatic overage, or $49 per evaluation pay-as-you-go.
Primary consumer market: Independent authors, self-published writers, and hybrid authors — an estimated 4.4 million active self-publishing authors in the US alone, with the global indie author market growing at 17% annually. These writers pay $150–$1,500 for professional manuscript evaluation they can now access for $27/month.
Primary B2B market: Literary award programs and writing competitions, estimated 2,000+ active programs in the US generating 500–5,000 submissions per cycle. These organizations have high submission volumes, limited reader bandwidth, and no scalable feedback infrastructure. AuthorSuite serves as their evaluation infrastructure through a revenue-sharing partnership model.
Secondary markets: Screenwriters (400,000+ WGA-registered), podcast creators (4.2 million active podcasts), literary agents (estimated 2,000 active US agents reviewing 50,000+ queries annually), and TV/film production companies operating script development pipelines.
AuthorSuite's primary differentiation is specificity of evaluation. Competitors in the AI writing space (Jasper, Sudowrite, NovelAI, ScriptBook) focus on content generation — they write or assist in writing. AuthorSuite does not write. It evaluates, critiques, scores, and provides actionable professional-grade analysis of work the human creator has already written.
This is a fundamentally different product category: editorial intelligence rather than content generation. The comparison point is not ChatGPT — it's the $350 manuscript evaluation from a literary consultant or the $200 script coverage from a Hollywood reader. We deliver equivalent depth in approximately four minutes at a fraction of the cost.
The MasterScore system is our B2B differentiator: no competitor offers partner organizations the ability to embed their own judging criteria into an AI evaluation platform. This creates a defensible, relationship-based B2B revenue model that commodity AI tools cannot replicate.
Our 31-agent architecture covering manuscript, screenplay, and podcast/audio formats in a single platform addresses the full creative lifecycle — from first draft evaluation through market positioning, query letter generation, and production — serving writers across their entire career rather than at a single moment.
