PILOT DEPLOYMENT
A pilot should make a decision possible.
A pilot is not a demonstration with a new name. Starshot helps shape a focused deployment around the real user, operating setting, success criteria and decision that must follow, so time and effort produce useful evidence.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Useful answers before a conversation.
What makes a pilot credible?+
A real operating setting, a responsible owner and agreed evidence for a next decision.

Does Starshot operate the technology?+
Roles are agreed for each opportunity. Specialist operators and partners remain essential where required.
