PILOTS

From Capability to Practical Application

THIRTEENTH™ & Co.’s commercial pilot pathways connect our proprietary technologies with practical challenges facing organizations, industries, institutions, and communities.

Each pilot begins with a reusable technology foundation, adapts to a defined application, and establishes the conditions necessary to evaluate its practical value.

Our approach allows participants to begin with a focused opportunity rather than adopting an entire technology environment.

CORE PRINCIPLE

“Identify the need. Define the application. Establish measurable outcomes. Evaluate before expanding.”

EXPLORE PILOT REQUIREMENTS

Every engagement begins with a shared understanding of the proposed application and what would constitute an acceptable result. A scoped pilot proposal may establish:

  • Intended Outcome — The practical challenge, objective, and expected benefit.
  • Scope & Responsibilities — Included activities, excluded activities, authorized participants, dependencies, and decision-making responsibilities.
  • Technology & Integration — Selected capabilities, interfaces, data requirements, and any necessary system connections.
  • Evidence & Acceptance — Qualification criteria, measurable results, documentation, evaluation methods, and agreed completion requirements.
  • Commercial Terms — Project scope, schedule, licensing, implementation responsibilities, support requirements, and applicable fees.
  • Continuation Pathway — Conditions under which further development, licensing, expanded evaluation, or qualified deployment may be considered.

The appropriate pilot arrangement depends upon the intended technology, participant, operating environment, complexity, and required acceptance conditions.

Our Pilot Qualification Pathway

A commercial pilot does not require an organization to adopt the entire THIRTEENTH™ & Co. technology ecosystem. Participants may begin with a specific problem, workflow requirement, institutional need, risk area, or operating requirement. Although each pilot addresses a different challenge, our development and qualification approach follows a common progression.

01

OBSERVE

Read-Only Baseline

02

SHADOW

Non-Consequential Work

03

CONTROLLED PILOT

Bounded Authority

04

QUALIFIED DEPLOYMENT

Verified Operational Scope

01 — OBSERVE

Understand the operating environment, intended outcome, participating systems, applicable responsibilities, relevant information, and current conditions. Establish the baseline without introducing unauthorized consequential changes.

02 — SHADOW

Evaluate selected capabilities against representative or existing workflows in a read-only or non-consequential mode. Compare proposed results and recommendations with the available operating evidence and acceptance requirements.

03 — CONTROLLED PILOT

Authorize bounded, qualified operation against defined technical, operational, security, evidence, authority, and acceptance conditions. Only explicitly qualified and authorized consequential activities may proceed within the approved pilot scope.

04 — QUALIFIED DEPLOYMENT

Consider expanded use when the required evidence, operational readiness, implementation controls, commercial arrangements, and acceptance conditions support progression. A pilot may advance, require additional conditioning, be reassessed, remain on HOLD, or conclude without broader deployment.

Progression is not automatic: independent external validation, environment-specific qualification, and operational acceptance remain separate requirements.

Construction and engineering documentation, digital project delivery, infrastructure and facility records, enterprise data readiness, organizational knowledge, data migration, and AI-assisted workflows.

What a Pilot May Evaluate:

  • Available information sources, intended uses, and relevant system relationships.
  • Data quality, completeness, provenance, currency, and consistency.
  • Access permissions, rights, classification, and custody requirements.
  • Gaps, conflicting records, exceptions, and qualification requirements.
  • Compatibility with selected applications, AI workflows, or operational systems.
  • Evidence supporting approved information reuse.

Potential Pilot Deliverables:

An information readiness inventory, source and provenance mapping, conditioning criteria, exception findings, qualified use recommendations, and an evidence-supported implementation pathway.

Measurable Acceptance:

Defined information quality thresholds, source traceability, reduced unresolved exceptions, approved access conditions, usability, and fitness for the intended application.

Commercial Application:

DataReddi™ may be evaluated as a focused information-readiness capability or as part of a broader enterprise, infrastructure, or AI-enablement initiative.
