The pattern
What this category does by default
Line the vendors up and they converge on the same three habits. Diverging from them isn't a risk — it's the differentiator.
Pricing hides as you scale
Almost every vendor in this category hides its real enterprise number behind a sales call. Buyers expect it — and resent it every time. Ours is published.
Trust is borrowed, not shown
Logos, badges, and exec quotes stand in for verifiable claims. We publish the actual architecture instead — reviewable today, caveats included.
The demo is a form, not a product
"Get a demo" dominates the category's front doors. Akili has a free tier with no card required — evaluate quietly before talking to anyone.
