Executive Decision Brief // Q3 2026

LYC Business AI — Founding Pilot Dossier

01. The Problem Solved

Trade and service businesses can spend unbillable time re-typing customer messages into spreadsheets before preparing a quote. QuoteForge is designed to structure a bounded enquiry, apply owner-approved price rules where they exist, and prepare an itemised draft for a person to review.

02. Scoped Commercial Pilot Terms

Setup & Rule Structuring:

Scoped after discovery

Includes discovery, rule structuring, initial testing, and controlled setup for one agreed workflow.

First 30 Live Days Operation:

Confirmed before activation

First 30 live days: up to 150 handled conversations, controlled review, and a day-30 evidence review.

03. Governed Engineering Guarantees

1. 100% Deterministic Math

Code calculates prices; models only parse language. Zero guessed rates.

2. 100% Human Sign-off Gate

No autonomous external emailing. Quotes remain drafts until you click approve.

3. Privacy boundary before data admission

Data routes, providers, retention, and permissions are agreed before private business material is admitted.

4. Day-30 Evidence Review Gate

Review hard quantitative hours saved before any continuation. Zero lock-in.

04. Illustrative Operational Return

Evidence first: The first pilot records its own baseline: time per item, missing details, correction rate, safe stops, and staff handoffs. Any time or capacity improvement depends on the actual workflow and is assessed at the day-30 review; it is not promised by this brief.
