⭐ 26‑Day No‑Risk Pilot Program

Final Institutional Window for Governance Validation

The 26‑Day No‑Risk Pilot is the formal mechanism institutions use to validate the IPAS governance architecture. It is not a trial, demo, or software evaluation. It is a structured, CFO‑safe validation process that confirms cycle‑time compression from 6–9 months to 6–9 weeks without system changes, IT involvement, or operational disruption.

Institutions that complete the 26‑Day Pilot retain eligibility for the pilot‑validated lifetime governance license. Institutions that do not complete the pilot revert to the full institutional rate, which reflects the $40M–$50M governance value of the architecture.

This pilot window is a one‑time governance opportunity and closes permanently on August 13, 2026.

⭐ Pilot Submission Deadline: July 1, 2026

To ensure sufficient time for:

  • SOW issuance

  • Legal review

  • CFO execution

  • Countersignature

  • Pilot kickoff

  • Full 26‑day completion

institutions must submit their pilot request by July 1, 2026.

This is the final date to request participation in the 26‑Day Pilot.

⭐ Pilot Completion Deadline: August 13, 2026

All institutions must complete the 26‑Day Pilot by August 13, 2026 to retain eligibility for the pilot‑validated rate.

After this date:

  • The pilot program closes permanently

  • No late pilots will be accepted

  • Institutions revert to the full institutional rate

This preserves the integrity of the validation process and the governance privilege associated with early institutional adoption.

⭐ What the 26‑Day Pilot Validates

The pilot confirms the institution’s ability to:

  • Reduce governance cycle‑time from 6–9 months to 6–9 weeks

  • Eliminate cross‑functional bottlenecks

  • Parallelize sequencing without increasing risk

  • Reduce compliance drag

  • Improve procurement throughput

  • Strengthen risk posture

  • Achieve CFO‑level visibility and control

  • Implement the architecture without IT involvement or system changes

The pilot is designed to be risk‑neutral, procurement‑safe, and operationally frictionless.

⭐ Pilot Submission Process

Institutions wishing to participate must follow the formal submission sequence below.

1. CFO submits a Pilot Request

The CFO (or equivalent authority) sends a direct email requesting participation in the 26‑Day Pilot.

2. Reliant Software issues the SOW

Upon receiving the request, Reliant Software provides the institution with the Statement of Work (SOW) for legal review.

3. Legal Department Review

The institution’s legal team reviews the SOW. Typical review time: 7–12 business days.

4. CFO Execution

Once legal review is complete, the CFO signs and executes the SOW.

5. Reliant Software Countersignature

Reliant Software countersigns the SOW and confirms the pilot start date.

6. Pilot Kickoff

The institution begins the 26‑Day Pilot. To meet the August 13 completion deadline, the latest possible pilot start date is July 18, 2026.

7. Pilot Completion

The institution completes the 26‑Day Pilot and validates the architecture internally.

8. Eligibility for the Pilot‑Validated Rate

Only institutions that complete the pilot retain eligibility for the pilot‑validated lifetime governance license.

⭐ Eligibility Rules

✔ Completion = Eligibility

Institutions that complete the 26‑Day Pilot qualify for the pilot‑validated rate.

✔ Non‑Completion = Full Institutional Rate

Institutions that do not complete the pilot by August 13 revert to the $40M–$50M institutional rate.

✔ No Late Pilots

The pilot program closes permanently on August 13. No exceptions. No extensions. No “late pilot” contracts.
