Three manufacturers. Real jobs. Paul on every call. This is a design-partner program, not a waitlist. The seat count is set by capacity: Paul Lantz runs every onboarding session and every biweekly call himself, and that is the number he can do well before February.

Firms are named only with their written approval. ## What you give, what you get Written down so there is nothing to work out later. The same terms go in the agreement you sign. You give **Real jobs.** Two or three kitchens run through Blitz during the phase, from measurement to bid. **One live onboarding.** Ninety minutes with Paul, your designer in the room. Not optional; it is where testing goes wrong when it is. **Thirty minutes every two weeks.** What worked, what broke, what you would change. **Feedback within five days** when something breaks, in the shared channel we set up for your firm. **Confidentiality.** What you see stays between us until launch. You may say you are testing Blitz; you may not show it. **A reference after launch,** only if Blitz earned one, and only in words you approve. You get **Blitz free for the whole Testing Phase.** **A founding-customer price,** agreed with Paul at signing and locked for the first year after launch. It is in your agreement, not on this page. **A vote on the roadmap.** Testing firms rank what gets built next, and the ranking is published to the cohort. **Paul’s number.** Not a support queue. **KBIS with us.** Expo passes through a launch manufacturer, and the option to be named at the show. **An out.** Either side can end the agreement on fourteen days’ notice, no reason needed. ## How the winter runs The only date we do not control is the last one, so it is the only one we promise.

The seat goes to the firms that can give useful feedback this winter, whatever they scored. That means: Dealers: five or more kitchen projects a month, a designer who can give structured feedback, one or two lines you sell most Groups: two or more showrooms, shared cabinet lines, a pilot lead with authority at the pilot locations Manufacturers: a product data contact, a current price book and spec book, and dealers you would invite to test with you Firms that are not a fit this winter are not turned away. They get the scorecard results, the build updates and first call when the next cohort opens. What the agreement covers Nine short clauses, plain English, reviewed by counsel.
