What customers criticise (separate from risk signals)

No pricing appears anywhere public, so a buyer cannot size the engagement before the first call, and a pod is a heavier minimum commitment than one embedded operator for companies whose real need is two days a week. The positioning spans frontier alignment research and production delivery, which is intellectually coherent but makes it harder to tell what a standard engagement looks like. Headquarters and legal entity details are not stated on the site.
