Context Engine · Scout
Free. Local. Low risk.The obvious place to start.
Prove Context Engine on your machine before you buy anything. No licence fee. No enterprise project. Just see if the next-task brief makes sense.
Free
Open source. No licence fee to try.
Local
Runs where you control it — your machine or estate.
Low risk
One workflow. Inspect everything. Decide later.
What you prove
See it work. Then decide.
1
A next task you can inspect
Not a black-box answer — a brief you can open and challenge.
2
On a real workflow slice
Use a narrow, authorised set of signals from systems you already run.
3
Before any commercial commitment
No private runtime project required to find out if the idea fits.
Who starts here
Engineers
Run it. Look at the output. No sales call required.
Architects
Check the idea on your data shape first.
Cautious buyers
Prove value before private scale or budget.
Later — only if you need it
Fortress is optional until proof is done.
Stay on Scout while you are still learning. Move to Fortress only when you need private enterprise scale and production connectors — not because a sales process said so.
Start free. See it work.
No pressure to upgrade. Fortress is there when proof is no longer the question.
