# Start here — pick who you are

New to **KYE Protocol™**? You do not need to read everything first. Tell us who you are and we send you straight to the one next step that fits you — evaluate it, build on it, audit it, or test it live. Most teams reach their first **[Evidence Pack™](https://kyeprotocol.com/evidence-pack/)** in a **4–8 week** pilot, so you can prove a governed agent action to a regulator before you commit.

## Choose your next step

Each route below is addressed to you. Pick the one that matches your role and KYE Protocol™ takes you to the page built for that job — no detour through pages meant for someone else.

- [**I'm a buyer** You own risk, compliance, or the budget. See what KYE™ proves for a board, a CISO, or a CFO, and how a pilot starts.](https://kyeprotocol.com/buyers/)
- [**I'm a developer** You want the SDK, the API, and the integration shape. The KYE™ developer docs show how to govern an agent action in code.](https://kyeprotocol.com/docs/)
- [**I'm an auditor** You verify evidence. See how a KYE™ Replay-Proof™ Evidence Pack™ is checked offline, from public keys alone, without trusting any vendor.](https://kyeprotocol.com/auditors/)
- [**I'm a regulator** You set the bar. See how KYE™ maps the EU AI Act™, NIST AI RMF™, and 160-plus frameworks to the artefact that enforces each one.](https://kyeprotocol.com/regulators/)
- [**I want to test the sandbox** You learn by doing. Run a governed agent action in the KYE™ sandbox and watch the Evidence Pack™ seal in real time.](https://kyeprotocol.com/sandbox/demos/)
- [**I want to apply for a pilot** You are ready to prove it on your own agents. Apply for a 4–8 week KYE™ pilot and reach your first Evidence Pack™.](https://kyeprotocol.com/pilot-apply/)
