# Control the Ops

> A gamified business incubator for young operators aged 16–24, starting in Manchester. Operators turn the instincts they already have into a real business by running missions on live tools: a website builder, 152 production website styles, Snap calculators, AI agents and company setup. Proof of each mission is reviewed by a person; rank is earned, never bought.

## The Founder Path

Fourteen missions in five stages: Learner (define the business, build the brand), Builder (website, first offer, first AI agent), Founder (distribution, first sales conversation, company setup, first £100, first invoice paid), Reseller (become a reseller, first strategic partnership) and Network Partner (first contractor, bring two operators through). Each mission opens the tool it is done in and needs approved proof before the next unlocks.

## Notes for agents

- No prices are published. Reseller terms are agreed in writing, and the reseller track is 18+.
- Regulated tax, legal and finance work goes to authorised partners, never to an AI.
