For customer support

Support copilot pilot

Scoped engagement — quoted

Support teams with an approved content corpus and named owner

Run source-aware, read-only support answers in the customer's cloud, with access controls and customer-specific acceptance testing.

  • Approved support content, access rules, pilot users, and starting measures
  • Private read-only question-and-answer service with grounded retrieval
  • Difficult-case, stale-content, access-control, and acceptance tests

Evidence assembly pilot

Scoped engagement — quoted

Teams with a defined evidence catalog and named review owner

Assemble reviewable evidence packets and gap tasks without declaring effectiveness or submitting an attestation.

  • Approved evidence catalog, assembly workflow, reviewers, and starting measures
  • Private read-only packet assembly with metadata-only logs
  • Gap tasks and explicit not-determined outcomes where evidence is insufficient
  • Durable review requires separate customer validation

For finance and controllership

Supervised reconciliation pilot

Scoped engagement — quoted

Controllers and finance operations teams with one known reconciliation workflow

Run a focused reconciliation and exception-review service in the customer's cloud, with a lasting audit trail and no posting to the accounting system.

  • One controller-owned workflow with representative customer records and baseline metrics
  • Read-only matching plus a lasting human-review and exception queue
  • Customer-cloud access, secure secrets, monitoring, rollback, and acceptance checks
  • A complete reconciliation record; no journal posting or movement of money

Repeat assessments across clients or portfolio companies

Client workspaces and repeat assessments after the method has earned a place in the practice.

  • Reuse on subsequent clients after the first sprint
  • Shared evidence review and readout workflow
  • Quoted from actual usage — not a seat grid published in advance
Talk about reuse

Dollar amounts are founding starting prices for one named company. The Validation workshop is free and deliberately bounded. The Opportunity sprint starts at $495 in the current founding phase. Advisor white-label assignments currently use the same $495 per named client and are repriced after the founding cohort, repeat-usage, and support learnings are reviewed. Customer agent pilots, portfolio work, and multi-client programs are quoted after the scope is clear.

Two ways to buy

Clear founding prices, with room for the advisor’s own fee.

Principle 1

The free pre-assessment starter is self-serve after account creation.

Principle 2

Validation workshop is free and deliberately bounded; it validates plausibility but does not prioritize or rank.

Principle 3

Opportunity sprint starts at $495 in the current founding offer for one company.

Principle 4

Advisors keep the client relationship and set their own fee; current white-label founding terms are $495 per named client assignment.

Principle 5

Card checkout can be enabled for paid direct engagements on hosted environments.

Principle 6

Tested Cloud Run paths exist for support copilot, evidence assembly, and financial reconciliation; finance has the most complete operational setup.

Principle 7

You can run Foundry locally, in Docker, or in your environment. The map does not have to leave your network.

How access works

Create a free account to run the pre-assessment starter. Request a free Validation workshop to validate plausibility and evidence gaps. Full analysis and hands-on delivery support unlock after approval. The first paid direct step is typically an Opportunity sprint. On hosted environments that enable payment links, paid direct engagements can be reserved by card.

What to bring to the first conversation

Advisors bring one active client and explain the software or hands-on support they need while keeping the client relationship and their own fee. Direct buyers bring the decision they need to defend. Pilot buyers bring one named workflow, accountable owner, approved source material or records, current performance measures, and their cloud requirements.

What paid work produces

The Workshop validates plausibility but does not rank opportunities or produce decision-grade prioritization. The Opportunity sprint produces ranked decisions, briefs, and sequencing. Selected opportunities can continue into adoption planning, observe-only simulation, and an engineering handoff package. Use Case Foundry does not promise one-click production deployment for every AI opportunity.

Limits of the tested pilot paths

The support copilot provides read-only answers from approved content, and every customer corpus requires acceptance testing. Evidence assembly creates packets and gap tasks but cannot declare effectiveness or submit an attestation; lasting review needs customer validation. Financial reconciliation proposes matches and queues exceptions with durable human review, but cannot post journals or move money. Every customer environment, dataset, identity setup, and release needs its own testing.

Questions buyers ask

Resolve the practical concerns.

Is this a software subscription?

Not as the first purchase. The pre-assessment starter and Validation workshop are free in the current founding offer. The first paid direct step is typically an Opportunity sprint from $495 for one company. Repeat-use advisor workspace terms are repriced after founding-cohort learnings rather than anchored to a published seat price.

Can I put this in a client proposal?

Yes. You set and own the client fee. In the current founding offer, advisor white-label assignments are $495 per named client/company while you retain packaging and commercial ownership with your customer.

Does Use Case Foundry take a fixed revenue share?

Not by default. Advisor pricing may be a fixed project fee, a hands-on delivery fee, or a repeat-use arrangement. It is designed to leave room for the advisor’s own fee.

Is there a self-serve checkout?

The free pre-assessment starter is self-serve after account creation. Paid Opportunity sprint and pilot handoff can be reserved by card when payment links are enabled on your host; partner and multi-company work is scoped with a person so it matches one company and one decision.

Can we pay online by card?

Yes, when payment links are enabled on the hosted environment. If card checkout is not enabled for your host, we scope the engagement directly and complete payment by invoice.

What about an investment portfolio or several clients at once?

Those are quoted separately. Published amounts are starting prices for one company. Email us to scope a 3–5 company review or a multi-client advisor program.

When does pilot handoff make sense?

After a sprint or equivalent assessment, when one selected opportunity is funded and engineering needs a decision brief, test plan, safe trial where history exists, and starter code. Pricing and approval apply separately to each selected opportunity; approving one candidate does not unlock handoffs for the others. The handoff is not a live deployment by Use Case Foundry.

How is a tested agent pilot different from pilot handoff?

A pilot handoff gives the customer's technical owner the decision brief, tests, safety rules, and starter code for an opportunity their team will build. A tested agent pilot adds hands-on help for a supported support, evidence assembly, or reconciliation workflow in the customer's cloud. Each path has its own limits and requires customer acceptance testing.

Can we self-host?

Yes. The same server runs locally or in Docker, with documented deployment options. Optional sign-in keeps saved company maps private, and AI-service keys stay on the server.
