What licensing, limits and boundaries should a buyer ask about before a pilot?

Ask about licence scope, permitted uses, delivery format, how generation was grounded, disclosure review and what is out of scope, with specifics agreed in writing.

**Is the material real business data?**

No. The commercial product is generated, synthetic material. It is informed by how businesses operate, but it does not contain real business records.

**Does generated mean anonymous or compliant?**

No, and you should not assume so. Generation does not by itself guarantee privacy, anonymity or regulatory approval. Inspect the grounding and disclosure risk of any release against your own requirements.

**What should the licence cover?**

Ask for it to state who may use the material, whether it may be used for training, evaluation or both, whether derived models or benchmarks may be shared, and whether redistribution is allowed. These are matters for the agreement, so raise them early.

**Can I publish results?**

Ask whether you may publish scores or example episodes, and under what conditions.

**What limits apply to scope?**

A pilot should be bounded by domain, authority structure and failure modes. Anything outside that scope, such as another sector or a multi-tier approval chain, would be scoped separately.

**What about price and timing?**

These are agreed during scoping and are not set out here. Ask for them in writing alongside the delivery format and the support you can expect for questions about the data.

**Who checks the sample?**

You should, using your own scripts and a reference run, rather than relying on the supplier's description of quality.

Settle licence scope, permitted uses and grounding questions in writing during scoping so the pilot result can be used as intended.
