Immediate ask

The immediate ask is a paid 12-week co-design and validation phase. The purpose is not to overstate certainty. It is to fund the architecture required to validate the model, design the commercial and governance choices, and make a grounded launch decision from evidence.

The immediate ask is a 12-week, paid co-design and validation phase. This is the phase that turns a strong thesis into a tested architecture and a credible partner decision.
