ARC-Neuron LLMBuilder is a sponsor-backed local-first AI lifecycle framework by Gary Doman / GareBear99. It focuses on governed small-model improvement, benchmark receipts, candidate/incumbent promotion gates, rollback lineage, CPU-first GGUF and llamafile runtime testing, token-level timeout-safe generation tracking, ARC-StreamMemory integration, binary-first memory/archive research, and sponsor-backed custom repository templates.

Sponsor value proposition: support open-source local AI infrastructure that reduces dependence on GPU servers, cloud-only APIs, and unverifiable black-box workflows. Sponsors fund documentation, runtime validation, templates, examples, v3.0 commercial-readiness planning, and custom repository platform guidance.
Sponsor tiers: Supporter, Builder, Pro Builder, Studio / Small Team, Enterprise / Custom Repository Sponsor.
Important boundary: sponsors are not buying guaranteed AGI, investment returns, or guaranteed custom software delivery. Custom software delivery requires a separate written agreement.
Verification surface: .github/workflows/ci.yml, docs/SPONSOR_PROOF_BRIEF.md, docs/ENTERPRISE_SPONSOR_READINESS.md, and docs/SECURITY_VULNERABILITY_RESPONSE.md define the sponsor trust surface. Sponsor-grade branches should run validation, tests, production verification, and SEO/sponsor checks before merge.
