The Proving Ground · Intake

Commission an examination.

Tell us about the model and what it claims. We reply with scope, schedule, and a fixed fee — quietly, and only once. Payment is by invoice, issued with the engagement agreement — there is no checkout; the first commitment you make is a signature. Every examination concludes with a sealed, signed Test Battery Results and Assurance Report, the same instrument you can read in our specimen reports.

Zero-telemetry intake. This interface executes strictly within your browser — no form contents are sent to, or stored on, an application server. When you submit, your complete intake brief is composed locally and prepared below. This page attempts to download a copy and may open an email draft. Review and send that draft yourself; if it is shortened, paste the complete brief from below or attach the downloaded copy if available — the handoff is yours.
I · Correspondence
Up to 5 addresses separated by semicolons — the first is the signing contact. Domain authentication (DMARC) is verified on our side at scoping.
The registered seat of the contracting legal entity — this is the tax-relevant anchor for B2B services (place-of-supply follows the customer's establishment, not where the model is deployed).
Required for reverse-charge invoicing on EU/UK business engagements. Leave empty if none.
Examinations are institution-grade engagements; individual purchases may carry different indirect-tax treatment, which we confirm at scoping.
How size is read, verbatim from the source definitions. EU (Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC): a medium enterprise employs fewer than 250 persons and has turnover ≤ €50M (or balance-sheet total ≤ €43M); small: fewer than 50 and ≤ €10M; micro: fewer than 10 and ≤ €2M. US (SBA Table of Size Standards, 13 CFR §121): size standards are set by NAICS industry code, expressed in employees (commonly 500 for manufacturing) or average annual receipts (service industries commonly $8M–$41.5M). Banks, deposit-taking institutions, and organisations of regulated scale are quoted as enterprise-scale engagements regardless of headcount — these bands inform the quote; they never decide it on their own.
II · The Examination Subject

Loading intended-use selections.

III · Model Access Modality
The evidence ceiling is set by the route, not the battery. Route A exercises your endpoint only — no weight digest is captured, so evidence caps at E1: the sealed report is non-certifying and carries no letter grade and no overall score; where a number is informative, descriptive numerics are delivered as a separately authenticated companion artifact. The single exception: an endpoint serving a self-deployed artifact under your control, where our instrument captures the weight digest at examination — that configuration is certifying-eligible with Battery III and human adjudication (the A3 self-deployed pattern). Route B captures the digest at intake — E2+ provenance, a certification prerequisite, not a grade. Certification itself additionally requires Battery III with the standing/attestation human-adjudication panel, and deep-ceiling certification is not presently executable at the current attempt cap (see the method page). Batteries I and II issue no letter grade on any route. The ceiling is printed on the face of the sealed report either way.
Applies to examination services — Route A (endpoint URL) or Route B (weights reference). Do not paste API keys here. Credentials are exchanged only under signed NDA, after scoping.
IV · Scope of examination
Attestation Grade is certifying-eligible only where the instrument captures the weight digest — Route B on this form (or Route A with the self-deployed digest-capture declaration) — and only with the standing or attestation human-adjudication panel; "no human adjudication" cannot certify. Deep-ceiling certification is additionally not presently executable at the current attempt cap (see the method page); the engagement would deliver the non-certifying descriptive result with the cap recorded. On Route A without digest capture (ceiling E1) it cannot certify; we will say so at scoping rather than sell you a ceiling you did not ask for.
Each declared claim is assessed for testability within the agreed scope; claims that can be instrumented become bespoke testable metrics, and unsupported ones are caught, named, and bounded. Claims outside the battery's instrumentation are examined by separately agreed methods — or reported as unverified, never silently untested.
V · Adjudication & Oversight Governance
Institution preferences (optional — select up to two). The panel is in formation; a listing is not a concluded engagement, and final panel composition is confirmed at scoping. Where pass-through invoicing is elected, the engagement agreement records it and 100% of the institution's fee is remitted — zero commission, zero markup.
Adjudication is strictly optional. Selecting a human adjudication panel is not mandatory at this stage; your engagement can be scoped, executed, and completed in full without assigning an external judge. Following delivery of your sealed report and cryptographic evidence bundle, you remain entirely free to present the completed artifacts to these or any other independent assurance bodies for downstream certification or governance review. Any such arrangement — whether with the institutions listed above or external third parties — must remain strictly at arm's length and shall in no way alter, compromise, or prejudice the independent validity and integrity of PGAC's sealed examination.
VI · Timing & anything else

Pressing this prepares your complete brief on this machine and shows it below, attempts to download a dated copy for your records, and may open your email application with a draft addressed to us. If that draft is shortened, paste the complete brief from below — or manually attach the downloaded copy — before sending. Nothing is sent until you press send in your own client. Review it, then send — the commission is yours to release. Replies are quiet and infrequent; no marketing, ever.

Intake composed

Your brief is ready.

If your email client opened, it now holds a draft addressed to sales-billing@pinnacleglobal.pro — this page cannot confirm that; please check. If nothing opened, copy the full text below into an email to that address yourself. If the draft's body carries a "CUT SHORT" notice at the top, paste the complete text from below (or attach the downloaded file, if a copy downloaded) before sending. If a dated copy downloaded to your machine, keep it — it is your record of exactly what was requested and when; this page cannot confirm the download, so please check. Nothing is sent until you press send in your own client. We reply with scope, schedule, and a fixed fee.
