STR.6:5.1 - SensorCo: a service family, not a list of purchases

The constructed SensorCo case retains viable device-only continuation alongside possible integrated service, licensing and segment exit. Here the team develops the integrated-service family. None of the new configurations below is an observed available arrangement.

For this family, the proposed contribution is accountable inspection support at a consenting customer’s site, over a bounded agreed interval, with a specified result, permitted data use and an exception response. The first labels are “platform”, “AI”, “training” and “external specialist”. The team replaces them with whole proposed ways:

Proposed wayWhat would obtain the same contributionWhat remains unresolved
SensorCo-led customer-local provisionSensorCo staff use the existing platform with customer-local data, check the agreed result and supply travel and incident supportComplete cost, permitted use, available staff and the customer’s acceptance terms
Provider-assisted customer-local provisionSensorCo supplies device integration while a qualified specialist supplies named checking or support contributions, with an agreed exception returnProvider capability and availability, joining responsibilities, access, complete price and response time

AI-assisted interpretation could be part of either way. Training could prepare a participant in either way. Neither is a third complete alternative. Both ways must answer the same customer-result and support questions before comparison.

A cross-customer pooled-data proposal pursues a different provision arrangement with an unresolved reuse-right dependency. It stays outside the present permitted service comparison. A short description may be retained for reconsideration if the required right and a relevant use become available; no data collection or provider reservation follows from retaining that description.

The immediate four-day internal preparation can improve the cost and trial-specification answer. It does not establish either delivery capability, authorize a trial or select the twelve-month service direction. If complete costing rules out every relevant arrangement at the prospective customers’ price ceiling, generation returns the negative comparison and viable device continuation instead of requiring a trial.
