Use of Funds

55% Productization & performance — harden the platform, validation gates, reliability testing, and deployment tooling. ($275,000)

25% Pilots & delivery — pilot onboarding, vertical playbooks, integration work, and measurable outcomes. ($125,000)

10% Legal & incorporation — Delaware C-Corp setup, accounting, baseline governance. ($50,000)

10% Buffer — runway protection and contingency for infra/security. ($50,000)

18-month milestones

✓ Production-grade platform (stability, audit logs, governance)
✓ 3–5 signed pilots in manufacturing/industrial operations
✓ First paid deployments (SaaS or on-prem)
✓ Clear pilot KPIs (time-to-answer, acceptance rate, defect reduction / downtime reduction where applicable)

Why this wins

The differentiator is not “more text”. It’s reusable expert logic with validation and traceability.

🧠

Structured reasoning

Outputs are step-based and reviewable, designed for real operational decision-making.

🧱

Reusable knowledge capsules

Expert rules become versioned assets that improve over time — not one-off chat answers.

✅

Validation gates

Built-in controls: scope, constraints, checks, and evidence linking — reducing hallucination risk.

🧾

Deliverables, not demos

Checklists, SOP drafts, investigations, and executive summaries — ready to use in the field.
