Business-terms discussion draft — not legal advice. Binding commitment requires an executed agreement reviewed by counsel as appropriate. Founding seat conversion price below is the public anchor; Options B/C pilot fees stay discovery-quoted.
Options B and C fee rows are shared after a qualification call — full A/B/C detail lives in the founding pilot packet.
