Commercial engagement

Fieldborne commercial work begins with qualification, not checkout. Each paid pilot is bounded to one defined workflow and moves through approval gates before agreement, invoicing, and kickoff.

01 — Controlled intake

Describe the workflow

Use sanitized, non-confidential information to identify the business problem and proposed evaluation workflow. No payment is due at application.

02 — Discovery

Freeze the five qualification fields

Confirm the organization/contact, exact workflow, bounded corpus or data classification, accountable reviewer, and predefined measurable success criterion.

03 — Proposal and SOW

Define the actual commitment

Customer-specific scope, deliverables, schedule, limitations, security/data boundary, price, and payment terms are prepared only after qualification and require founder approval.

04 — Agreement

Execute before substantive work

The approved statement of work is executed before the pilot begins. Public website language is not a substitute for the customer-specific agreement.

05 — Invoice

Invoice-based billing

Approved engagements are invoiced through Stripe after agreement and billing details are confirmed. Fieldborne does not use an open public checkout for bounded pilot work.

06 — Kickoff and closeout

Run the bounded evaluation

Execution begins only when the agreed evidence boundary, reviewer, success criterion, agreement, and payment conditions are satisfied. Closeout preserves observations, threshold comparison, exceptions, and limitations.

Important boundary: A paid pilot evaluates commercial usefulness for the specified workflow. It does not establish certification, compliance approval, unrestricted production readiness, guaranteed performance, market validation, or QCE scientific validation.

Before submitting

Do not send confidential, regulated, privileged, credential-bearing, export-controlled, production, or personal data unless a separate engagement explicitly authorizes it.
