Pilot questions
Before you apply
What does a pilot cost?
The current pricing hypothesis is a $10K–$20K fixed fee for 90 days, up to 500 eligible employees, and one defined program. Final scope and fee are agreed during the design session.
How many employees should be in scope?
A pilot can include up to 500 eligible employees. The right cohort depends on the use case and the evidence your team needs.
What happens after the pilot?
You get the read-out either way. If the numbers hold, we scope a full program; if they don't, the pilot ends with no further commitment.
Start with a 60-minute design session
Bring one use case, an employee cohort, and an HR and Finance sponsor. We'll define the test together.
