Pilot Program Terms

Effective Date: March 2026

1. Purpose of the Pilot Program

The THINK LUCID pilot program exists to introduce the LUCID method in a controlled environment, generate baseline visibility into AI usage behavior, and support ongoing refinement of the framework and its implementation.

Pilot sessions are not promotional giveaways in the ordinary commercial sense. They are guided implementations intended to observe how disciplined AI usage appears in practice under defined conditions.

2. Eligibility and Selection

Pilot participation is selective. Submission of an inquiry, request, or expression of interest does not guarantee acceptance.

Selection may depend on factors including, but not limited to:

• institutional fit with the framework
• clarity of use case
• availability of pilot capacity
• participant group size and readiness
• research and implementation priorities at the time of review

THINK LUCID and its authorized implementation partners reserve the right to accept, defer, decline, or discontinue pilot participation at their discretion.

3. What a Pilot May Include

A pilot may include one or more of the following, depending on the scope approved for the participating institution:

• a guided introduction to the LUCID method
• a controlled audit or benchmark session
• structured task execution under observed conditions
• comparison between unstructured and method-based AI use
• summary findings or baseline insights at the institutional level

Not all pilots include the same components. Pilot scope is determined case by case.

4. What a Pilot Does Not Include

Unless explicitly stated in writing, a pilot does not include:

• certification, accreditation, or formal endorsement
• transfer of proprietary tools or measurement environments
• commercial rights to reproduce or offer LUCID-based services
• guaranteed access to future sessions, tools, or expanded implementations
• custom consulting beyond the approved pilot scope

5. Pilot Duration and Format

Pilot sessions may vary in duration, format, and method of facilitation. Some pilots may be conducted live, remotely, on-site, synchronously, or asynchronously, depending on the approved arrangement.

Any timeline, session length, or deliverable reference provided on the website or in discussion is indicative only unless confirmed in writing for a specific pilot.

6. Participant Conditions

Participating institutions are responsible for ensuring that participants are appropriately briefed, available, and authorized to join the pilot in accordance with the institution’s own internal approvals.

Participants are expected to engage in good faith and to follow the session instructions necessary for the method or audit structure to function as intended.

7. Data Handling and Confidentiality

THINK LUCID is designed around privacy-conscious implementation. Depending on the configuration used, participants may be anonymized through randomized seat identifiers, tokens, or comparable methods rather than personally identifiable accounts.

Pilot outputs, prompt history, session behavior, and related process data may be reviewed for the purpose of:

• producing institutional baseline observations
• understanding the effectiveness of the method
• improving future pilot and implementation design
• supporting anonymized research, benchmarking, or methodology development

Where anonymized or aggregated findings are used, they will not be presented as personally attributable unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.

Additional privacy details may be governed by the site Privacy Policy and any implementation-specific terms agreed with the institution.

8. Intellectual Property and Access Limits

Participation in a pilot does not transfer ownership of the THINK LUCID framework, the LUCID method, proprietary audit structures, measurement tools, templates, or implementation materials.

Participants and institutions may internally discuss what was learned through the pilot, but may not represent themselves as licensed providers, certified operators, or authorized commercial implementers of THINK LUCID unless separately authorized in writing.

9. No Obligation to Continue

A pilot is exploratory in nature. It does not obligate either party to proceed to a paid implementation, expanded rollout, licensing arrangement, or any future engagement.

Likewise, completion of a pilot does not obligate THINK LUCID or its authorized partners to make future access available.

10. Changes, Suspension, or Withdrawal

THINK LUCID and its authorized partners may revise pilot scope, reschedule sessions, suspend participation, or withdraw a pilot opportunity where necessary due to fit, conduct, operational limits, legal concerns, or changes in implementation priorities.

Institutions may also withdraw from the pilot prior to participation, subject to any specific arrangements already agreed in writing.

11. Governing Terms

These Pilot Program Terms should be read together with the site Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and any specific written communication governing a particular pilot.

In the event of conflict between general website terms and a separately executed written agreement for a specific implementation, the written agreement will govern that implementation.
