Questions Before You Begin

Plain answers to the questions that come up before anyone commits money.

What does Kellette actually give me?

A written brief. Not a dashboard, not a feed, not a score. A short document that says what the public record shows about an opportunity, whether it fits your firm, what is still unknown, and what to do next.

Who is this for?

Smaller cybersecurity firms and government contractors pursuing public-sector work, where a serious bid costs sixty to a hundred hours of senior time and a wrong choice is expensive.

What does it cost?

A Decision Sprint is $2,500 and covers one opportunity. An Opportunity Map is $5,000 and compares several. Signal Watch is $650 per month at the founding rate, $1,050 standard. Pursuit Horizon is $9,500 and runs by conversation. Full terms are here.

Is there a free trial or sample assessment?

No. There is no free brief, no trial, and no complimentary assessment. The introductory qualification conversation is the only thing offered without charge, and its purpose is to establish whether Kellette can help you at all. If it cannot, you will be told so in that conversation.

Why should I pay for this when I already have a capture team?

Keep their conclusion. Kellette produces an independent one from the public record. If the two agree, you proceed with more confidence. If they disagree, you have found something worth examining before you spend the bid budget.

Could I not just ask an AI chatbot?

You can, and it will answer everything with equal confidence, including the parts the public record cannot support. Kellette marks what is unknown. That distinction is the product.

How is the work reviewed?

Kellette uses AI to support research, comparisons, and monitoring workflows. Every client-facing brief passes through Kellette's human review standard before release, with evidence, assumptions, and unknowns kept visible. Capacity is intentionally limited during the founding period so quality stays consistent.

You do not know my business.

Correct. Kellette covers the outside half: the public record, the buyer, the competitive context, the requirements. You own the inside half: capacity, relationships, appetite, price. The brief is built to be read alongside what you already know, not instead of it.

What if the work is not useful?

Within your first thirty days, if Signal Watch materially misses the confirmed pursuit profile or published weekly scope, request a review. Kellette will correct the issue, agree a remedy, or refund fees paid to date if the agreed scope was not delivered.

Will Kellette tell me whether I am eligible to bid?

No. Kellette supports opportunity review and pursuit prioritization. It does not determine legal eligibility, and it does not predict awards. Where eligibility is genuinely unclear from the record, the brief will say so rather than guess.

What happens to information I share?

Company context you share is used to produce your brief and nothing else. It is not published, resold, or used as an example without your written permission.

How do I start?

Request a qualification conversation. If Kellette fits, the first engagement is a Decision Sprint.
