The Validation Pilot Program

A scoped, 75-day paid pilot that produces one clean, pre-registered go/no-go decision — measured on the languages you pick, on your own held-out data. $150,000, 100% creditable against a Full Annual Subscription.

Public — prove the gap free Evaluation — verify our inventory (free, Bemba+Nyanja) Pilot — measure it on your data (this program) Full Annual Subscription — license everything

This is the Validation Program's own sign-up — distinct from a free Evaluation key and from a Full Annual Subscription license. The pilot is a de-risking bridge that credits 100% toward a Full Annual Subscription — but it is one path, not a gate: you can start a pilot directly (no evaluation required), or go straight to a Full Annual Subscription if you're ready to license the whole ecosystem now.

How it works · six phases

From application to a decision you can act on.

01

Discovery

You apply, pick languages, run the free self-test. We confirm mutual fit and a provisional scope.

02

Scope & SOW

Lock the languages, accept the pre-registered success criteria, and e-sign the SOW.

03

Kickoff

Verified access — tokens, API/MCP, seats for your team — and a readiness sign-off. Day 0.

04

Execution

Run it on your held-out data in the pilot workspace: scorer, criteria tracker, embedded engineer.

05

Decision

The hard gate is scored → a recorded go/no-go. First scored result in days, not weeks.

06

Convert

Go → convert to a Full Annual Subscription with the $150K credited.

The terms

Scoped, de-risked, on your terms.

Scope

75 days · 3 languages

The default set, or a set agreed with you, from the audio-backed catalogue — full depth across FSI and the covered domain add-ins on those languages.

Price

$150,000 · 100% creditable

Convert and 100% of the pilot fee comes straight off your first-year Full Annual Subscription.

The gate

Pre-registered go/no-go

The success criteria are agreed and locked at kickoff, and depend only on what we control — never your stack.

Posture

Non-exclusive · native-validated

One embedded integration engineer on the last mile; a native-linguist audit; first scored result in days.

Apply · the pilot's own intake

Start a Validation Pilot

Tell us your model, your target languages, and how you want to integrate. This goes straight to Discovery — we review fit and come back with a scope card and SOW. Enterprise-only; provisioned by BantuNomics.

You’ll use this email + password to sign in to your interim account once it’s approved.

The pilot is scoped by language, not by product: you get the FSI (the anchor) plus every other domain that has data for these languages — full depth. It's depth, not a menu.

What happens when you submit

We create your interim pilot account right away (no charge) with a unique engagement reference, in “pending approval” status. Once we’ve reviewed fit, we email you that it’s approved — then you sign in with the email + password you set here to confirm scope, e-sign the SOW, and coordinate changes. The $150,000 pilot fee is invoiced only once the SOW is signed; it’s 100% creditable toward a Full Annual Subscription.
