Direct competitors and free alternatives cover at least about 70% of the generic readiness workflow. The only testable opening is **assembling operator judgment, human override, safety boundaries, training, evidence, and acceptance measures for one imminent frontline pilot**. That difference has no payment proof.

Why Keep It Under Review

The trigger is not generic curiosity about AI. It is a budget decision within 90 days: choose a frontline workflow, align operators/safety/IT, and define what would make the pilot pass.
