Paid

# Apply for a KYE Protocol™ PoC — 2 to 8 weeks, fixed price, signed evidence.

You pick one of three tiers (PoC-XS £15k / PoC-S £35k / PoC-M £75k). We deliver a signed, regulator-defensible Evidence Pack™ for one of your AI-agent workflows — replayable offline by your auditor with no further dependency on us. 100% of your PoC fee credits against any Pilot or Annual Licence you sign within 60 days of the PoC end date.

See the recommended PoC-S tier [Or take the 60-second quiz first](https://kyeprotocol.com/quiz/)

## What you get, every tier

- **Signed deliverable** — every PoC ends with a cryptographically signed artefact (Authority Gap™ report or Evidence Pack™) that is regulator-defensible on its own.
- **Replay-proof** — PoC-S and PoC-M deliverables are verifiable offline by your auditor with no further dependency on KYE™.
- **Fixed scope** — no scope creep, no time-and-materials surprises. The PoC SOW (see [PoC T&Cs](https://kyeprotocol.com/legal/tos/)) is the entire contract.
- **100% conversion credit** — if you sign a Pilot or Annual Licence within 60 days of PoC end date, every pound of your PoC fee credits against year-1.
- **Sub-processors disclosed up-front** — see the canonical [sub-processor list](https://kyeprotocol.com/legal/sub-processors/).

## Out of scope (so you know up-front)

The PoC is a hosted evaluation surface. It explicitly excludes production SLAs, multi-region deployment, BYOC / HSM-backed key custody, on-call incident response, and historical-audit-data migration. Those are Pilot / Annual Licence scope.
