Which offering is right for us? Choose the **30-day Proof of Value** to test Starhive on one focused use case before committing to more. Choose the **90-day Foundation Implementation** when you're ready to take a use case into production. Choose **Premium Support** when Starhive runs business-critical work and you want priority support and continuous improvement. Choose **Time & Material** for work that doesn't fit a package, such as an integration, an application built on Starhive, or extra help next to one of the packages. What is included in the 30-day Proof of Value? One business use case for one team, in one Starhive environment: initial configuration, help importing your data, weekly check-ins and a final readout. You get a working, demo-ready use case, a first data model, and a business-value summary with recommended next steps and a 90-day implementation roadmap. Expect to spend about 2–4 hours a week on workshops, feedback and validation. Production rollout, complex integrations and custom development are not part of the Proof of Value. What is included in the 90-day Foundation Implementation? A production Starhive environment for one solution area and up to two priority use cases: the data model, roles and permissions, workflows, views and sites, data imports and integrations for the agreed sources, governance, training for your admins and users, and support through go-live. You also get a roadmap for the next phase. Expect to spend about 4–8 hours a week, more at kickoff and go-live. What happens to work outside a package? Each package has a clear scope. Anything beyond it, such as more integrations, custom development or a wider rollout, can be added with a change order or done as Time & Material. Do we need a Starhive subscription? Yes. Professional services are separate from your Starhive subscription, which is covered by our [Cloud Terms of Service](https://starhive.com/legal/cloud-terms-of-service). For a Proof of Value, we can arrange access for the evaluation. Is the work done remotely or on site? Remotely by default, during Swedish business hours. We can also work on site by arrangement. Do you have an NDA we can sign before sharing evaluation data? Yes, we have a specific NDA designed to protect your data when evaluating Starhive with us. You can download it for review **[here](https://starhive.com/files/starhive-customer-evaluation-nda.pdf)**. We prefer to use our NDA as it's focused on protecting your data during the evaluation process.
