Why 4 hours

Speed isn’t a slogan. It’s the contract.

"First test within 4 hours" isn’t marketing — it’s how the appliance is shaped. No DBAs, no procurement, no week-long onboarding workshop. The five steps above ship with everything they need to actually run.

No 6-month rollout
No DBAs, no procurement cycle, no professional-services lock-in. The trial install runs on the laptop in front of you.
Live cockpit
SignalR-driven realtime — see KPI tiles, error rate, and concurrency tick during the run, not after the report.
5-test overlay
Every run becomes a baseline. Compare across releases without exporting CSVs.
Audit-ready by default
Every run signs into the same evidence log used for SLA validation, MSP reports, and migration sign-off.

Quick reference

Five steps. One afternoon. First test running.

Sign up. Upload the workload. Drop the agent in. Run the wizard. Watch the cockpit. The next four hours are the only ones that matter.
