What does a 21-day AI Pilot include?

A fixed-scope CapEx engagement ($15,000–$40,000) to build and deploy a functional agent, including prompts, evaluation harness, deployment config, and complete ownership transfer.

Is pricing CapEx or OpEx?

Pilots are priced as CapEx in the $15k–$40k band depending on integrations and compliance needs—not an open-ended OpEx retainer.

What do we own at handoff?

Source code, prompts, evals, and infra-as-code in your repositories and accounts. No rented black box.
