By organisation size

Three common starting points with an engagement shape and examples to explore first.

Small org (roughly 20 to 150 people)

You need one credible pilot, a founder-safe story, and minimal platform overhead.

Typical start: Pilot squad (4 to 6 weeks, tightly scoped)

Medium org (roughly 150 to 2,000 people)

You have product and engineering, but need program shape, governance, and a production path.

Typical start: Assessment + architecture review, then pilot
