Can I purchase or book a pilot here?+
The planner lets you review a brief and explicitly submit a pilot inquiry for numericspace to review. A confirmed submission is stored with its full brief and provides a downloadable submission document. It does not reserve time, collect payment, or create a contract. Scope, availability, and commercial terms require a separate agreement.
What would the $7,500 pilot include?+
The proposed fixed scope is one workflow, up to two execution endpoints, a baseline, agreed policy-change scenarios, cost and execution evidence, and an evaluation summary over 4–6 weeks. Provider compute, substantial custom integrations, taxes, and a continuing subscription are separate. The final deliverables would be agreed before kickoff.
What should I prepare before a pilot?+
Identify one workflow, its likely endpoints, a policy change worth testing, and measurable success criteria. Include a realistic compute budget and the person who can assess output quality and operational requirements. The pilot planner turns those inputs into a reviewable brief.
How would executions and retries be counted?+
The proposed meter is one bounded model or tool operation. Linked retries and fallbacks remain part of that logical operation for platform accounting; underlying provider attempts and costs are recorded separately. Capacity allowances and any overage terms would be defined after benchmarking, before a subscription agreement.
Are compute, GPU, and provider API charges included?+
No. The starting model uses customer-owned provider accounts with direct provider billing. A software subscription does not replace those charges. Compute sold or hosted separately would require its own price and terms.
What does “annual equivalent” mean?+
It is the proposed monthly Team or Business price multiplied by twelve: $5,988 or $17,988. It is not an annual discount, a billing commitment, or a live checkout offer. Any custom implementation is scoped separately.
Does the calculator promise savings or include the pilot fee?+
No. It subtracts the proposed recurring software fee from the gross compute savings implied by your input. It excludes the one-time pilot fee, implementation, taxes, and provider price changes. A measured evaluation should hold workload quality and volume consistent and include retries, failures, egress, and operating effort.
Can we start small and expand the scope later?+
That is the proposed path: evaluate a bounded workflow, then scope the deployment that fits. Team is intended for a focused workflow; Business adds coordination across environments, deeper execution evidence, and enhanced support. Deployment requirements and substantial custom implementation would be scoped separately. A pilot does not automatically enroll you in an ongoing plan.
Are auctions included in these plans?+
Auctions and strategic resource allocation remain a future research direction. They are excluded from the initial pilot and the Team and Business plans shown here. The Research page explains the questions that would need to be evaluated.
What happens to the details I enter?+
The planner prepares a brief in your browser. A draft is saved on this device only when you choose “Save draft on this device.” If you review the brief, give consent, and submit an inquiry, numericspace stores your contact details and complete brief for private review and follow-up. Resetting the planner or deleting a local draft does not delete a submitted inquiry. See the privacy notice for the full behavior.
