06 — FAQ

Answers to what buyers actually ask.

Six of the questions we hear on every first call.

How is this different from a big-4 consultancy?
Our principals ship code. Every engagement produces production systems — not decks. We keep pods small (4–8 people) and every senior stays hands-on through deploy.
Do you use the PlayU platform or our stack?
Both, and either. Pilots often use PlayU to accelerate; enterprise engagements deploy on your existing infra with your compliance boundary.
Who owns the IP we build together?
You own all custom agents, ledger schemas, and configurations. We retain rights only to generic frameworks (e.g. our evaluation harness).
How do you handle regulated data?
All engagements run under a DPA and are SOC 2 Type II scoped. For PCI or PHI workloads we deploy inside your VPC and never egress raw data.
Can agents make financial decisions unsupervised?
Every agent ships with a policy engine and a human-in-the-loop threshold. Autonomy is a dial you control — from "suggest" to "act with approval" to "act and notify".
What if the pilot doesn't hit its target?
The Pilot tier includes a written outcome definition. If we miss the primary success metric, 30% of the fee is refunded — no negotiation.
