The pilot program
A scoped, fixed-scope engagement: DocMark deployed in your chosen mode, an acceptance walkthrough your team runs with us, and clear success criteria — before you commit.
What a pilot looks like
- Scoping call. We agree the deployment mode (on-prem, client cloud, or DocMark cloud), the document types in scope, and the success criteria — typically “your analysts produce N verified, on-brand deliverables from real work.”
- Brand onboarding. Your brand team supplies templates and guidelines; we encode them as your committed brand specification, test it through the visual-QA gate, and review the first rendered samples together until your brand team signs off. (One brand onboarding is included in the pilot fee; additional brands are a one-off service.)
- Deploy. DocMark is stood up in your chosen mode. For on-prem, a managed box arrives on your network and the install checklist verifies — offline, on your hardware, with your team watching — that the pipeline has no AI, no cloud, and no internet. For client cloud, we deploy into your own tenant against the LLM account you bring. For DocMark cloud, there’s nothing to install — your team signs in.
- Acceptance walkthrough. An illustrated, step-by-step script your team runs with us: drop a file in the intake folder, watch the verified deliverable arrive, inspect its confidentiality label and provenance record, and see a deliberately broken job get withheld with findings.
- Run real work. Your team uses it for the agreed period; we review the verified output and the withheld-job findings together.
Scope, timeline, and fee
The pilot is a scoped engagement with fixed scope: an agreed deployment mode, an agreed set of document types, and agreed success criteria — nothing open-ended.
- Scoping to deployed: 2–4 weeks
- Pilot run: 4–6 weeks
The pilot fee is quoted at scoping, once the mode, document types, and brand-onboarding work are known — so you see the number against a concrete scope, not a brochure range.
What you keep
Everything the pilot produced — the deliverables are yours, each with its label and provenance record. If you don’t continue, an on-prem box goes back, a client-cloud deployment is removed from your tenant, and your content was never anywhere but your own premises (on-prem), your own cloud boundary under your own LLM account (client cloud), or our managed cloud under your account (DocMark cloud).
