This 50-minute evaluation with a senior technical principal protects your capital before you write code or buy hardware. We evaluate your software stack, security posture, and internal data workflows. We determine if your operations require private LLM hosting, access control remediation, or infrastructure fixes.
ASSESSMENT SCOPE
100% of the assessment fee is credited to your invoice if you move forward with an engagement. Structuring this as a paid transaction contractually obligates us to provide an objective, factual diagnostic rather than a sales pitch. If you do not proceed, the fee covers the technical evaluation required to determine if private infrastructure and compliance remediation are beneficial for your operations.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is there a fee for an initial evaluation call?
Free calls are designed to sell you a contract, which is why we do not do them.
The $300 fee funds pure engineering time. We evaluate your compliance posture, cloud permissions, and data architecture on paper before you allocate capital, buy hardware, or write code.
What exactly happens at the end of the 50 minutes?
You receive a binary outcome. Either your infrastructure is cleared for a full engagement, or it is found to be non-feasible; typically because it requires significant structural changes to your data pipelines or operational workflows.
Either way, you are provided with a Specification Document outlining the exact hardware to buy, the cloud access permissions to restrict, or the specific structural problems you must fix. [ View Example Spec Document (PDF) ]
Is 50 minutes enough time?
Yes. We are not building the system on this call. This is a diagnostic to determine if your current data architecture, cloud security perimeter, and compliance posture are technically capable of supporting the project.
Fifty minutes provides enough time to identify hard technical limitations that would cause a deployment or audit to fail, and outline a broad scope. Our meeting constitutes a constraint analysis and scope definition; a typical first step on any software engineering project.
If validation passes, what comes next?
Because every corporation is unique, infrastructure and compliance deployments are handled case-by-case.
If cleared, we define the exact engineering scope required for your build, covering your custom data ingestion pipelines (e.g., async daemons, CRM scrapers), perimeter access controls, and compliance logging frameworks, alongside physical hardware specifications (e.g., GPU requirements, localized storage) when local compute is involved.
Your roadmap reflects your actual operational requirements regardless of deployment model. For cloud-native or software-focused builds, we map permission boundaries, API isolation, database restructurings, and audit logging without imposing unnecessary hardware. For on-premises or hybrid builds, we define the exact physical compute, storage, and networking specs required.
100% of your $300 assessment fee is credited toward your full engagement invoice, and you are presented with defined options based on your objectives, budget, and timeline. [ View Example Full Engagement Document (PDF) ]
Do I need to provide access to our proprietary data during this call?
No. We only require a high-level understanding of your data formats, volume, and storage locations to run the calculations. We do not ingest or touch your live systems during this diagnostic.
Can't we just use OpenAI or Anthropic instead of building local hardware?
You can, if you are willing to send your data through public cloud endpoints. Public AI is fine for non-sensitive operations.
We build localized, sovereign infrastructure for businesses who require absolute data isolation, zero recurring token taxes, immunity from upstream API breakage, and technical mitigation of audit and discovery risks (executed exclusively for legal counsel).
