Should You Be Piloting AI Hardware Yet?

A 2-minute self-check for Canadian operators. Ten questions about your site, your task and your timeline. You get a straight answer by email — pilot-ready, business-case-first, or too early. No sales call, and we do not sell hardware.

Robots and AI hardware are being sold hard into Canadian operations right now, and a lot of what gets bought sits unused within a year. Usually not because the technology failed — because the task was never well defined, nobody owned the deployment, or there was no one in Canada to fix it when it broke.

This check is built to tell you which of those applies to you, including when the honest answer is “not yet”. We are independent and brand-neutral: we do not sell, distribute or take commission on hardware, so there is nothing for us in talking you into a purchase.

Thank you for your response. ✨

Thank you. We will email your result within one business day.

Where to send your result

Part A — Your operation

1. What kind of operation do you run?

2. Which repetitive task would you most like to hand off?

3. How much labour goes into that task today?

Part B — Whether a pilot could actually run

4. Have you looked at robotics or AI hardware for this before?

5. What stopped you, or what worries you most?
6. Could you host a 2 to 4 week trial at a real site?

7. Who signs off on a purchase like this?

Part C — Timeline and commitment

8. If a pilot proved out, when would you want to deploy?

9. Roughly what could you work with for a first deployment?

10. Would you consider being a reference site — a written case study, and hosting visits from other Canadian buyers?

What you get back

Within one business day you receive an email placing you in one of three positions, with the two or three specific things we would look at for your operation. No obligation, and no sales call unless you ask for one.

Pilot Ready

You have a defined task, a site that could host a trial, and a clear path to a decision. The work from here is matching the right product to the task and designing a two-to-four week trial with success criteria agreed before it starts — so the result is a decision, not an opinion.

Business Case First

The operation fits, but the payback math has not been done. This is the most common position, and the most expensive one to skip. Cost it before you talk to any vendor — once you know what an hour of that task is actually worth to you, the conversation with suppliers changes completely.

Too Early to Buy

Sometimes the honest answer is not yet — the task is not defined tightly enough, the volume does not justify the hardware, or the site is not ready. We will say so, and tell you what would need to change first. Not buying at the wrong moment is worth more than any pilot.

Founding pilot sites — limited

We are setting up a small first group of Canadian pilot sites. Those sites get founding-client terms, priority scheduling and direct access to manufacturers, in exchange for a written case study once results are in. Beyond that group, deployment work runs as paid engagements — product selection, payback modelling, supplier and certification coordination, trial design, and after-sales and service planning.

What we do not do: sell, distribute, import or take commission on hardware. Our recommendations are not tied to what we would earn on a sale. See how we work with manufacturers for the other side of the same bridge.
