Setup

Choose the AIGIS boundary before you connect the first system.

Start with a free evaluation workspace. Choose AIGIS-hosted, split into a hybrid control plane, or run customer-hosted inside your environment. Paid activation begins only after the runtime, secrets, audit, and connector boundary is clear.

Pick the paid activation path that matches the buyer.

Start with the operating boundary: who runs the runtime, who holds secrets and model keys, and where audit evidence needs to land.

The product surface is the same. The paid activation step, operating boundary, secrets model, and rollout effort change.
