THE TABSDATA PILOT

Prove It Yourself!

One workload. 30 days. Your baseline vs. ours.

‍

We claim data requests resolve in hours, not months — 99% faster across discovery, build, validation, and testing. That's either true on your data or it isn't. Pick a workload and measure us.

30-minute scoping call. No procurement, no commitment — Tabsdata is free for self-supported deployments.

A Claim You Can Falsify

Most vendor pilots are demos with a deadline. This one is a measurement. Before we start, you set the baseline: how long a comparable data request takes your team today, from the moment it's filed to the moment the requester accepts the result. Then we run the same lifecycle — discovery, duplication check, build with incremental validation, regression and acceptance — on Tabsdata, and compare the clock. You define "comparable." You hold the stopwatch.

‍

The three numbers on the table:

  1. Your baseline — current time-to-resolution for a comparable request, measured your way.
  2. The pilot result — the same lifecycle on Tabsdata, wall-clock, end to end.
  3. The compression — the ratio between them. We're claiming 99%. You'll have your own number in 30 days.

Where to Point Us

The pilot works best on a workload where the measurement is clean and the stakes are real. Two profiles fit:

Net-New Workloads

A data request sitting in your backlog that hasn't been built yet. This is the cleanest test: no migration, no untangling, a baseline you already know because the request has been aging in the queue.

Fragile Workloads

A workload that exists but hurts — a real-time layer that breaks quietly, a pipeline nobody owns, a dataflow your team is afraid to touch. Rebuilding it on Tabsdata gives you the measurement plus a fix you keep.

What we'll tell you not to pick: a stable, well-owned production pipeline migration. The pilot should never put your existing estate at risk. If a workload is working, leave it alone.

What You Bring

  • One workload — net-new or fragile, scoped together on the first call.
  • One champion — an engineer who knows the data and can approve changes. A few hours a week, not a secondment.
  • A baseline — your current time-to-resolution for a comparable request, measured however you measure it.
  • Access — to the relevant sources and destinations, inside your own network. Nothing leaves it.

What You Get

  • A working, governed dataflow — versioned tables, full lineage from day one, human-approved at every change. It's yours whether or not you go further.
  • A measured result — your baseline versus the pilot clock, stage by stage, in writing.
  • Our engineers, hands-on — the Tabsdata engineering team works alongside your champion to implement your system, from first connection to accepted result.
  • A direct line to the team building Tabsdata — design partners shape the roadmap; that's the point of the program.

No Cliff, No Lock-In

When the pilot ends, three paths — all of them yours to choose. Keep running Tabsdata free, self-supported, in your own network. Move to a paid contract, which adds 24/7 support and full indemnification. Or walk away — the dataflow, the lineage, and the measurement are yours either way. There's no pilot-to-purchase trapdoor, because the economics don't need one: the platform is free to run, and the paid tier exists for teams that want someone on the hook besides themselves.

For Teams That Own the Backlog

The fit is simple: you have three or more data engineers, and a data request backlog that isn't getting better. Company size and industry don't matter — the stack spanning multiple tools and the queue aging in weeks is the same problem everywhere. If your data leaders are being asked "why does everything take so long" and your engineers are tired of being the answer, this is aimed at you.

Set the Baseline, Start the Clock

A 30-minute scoping call picks the workload, defines "comparable," and sets the measurement. If the fit isn't there, we'll say so on the call.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does the Tabsdata pilot cost?

    Nothing. Tabsdata is free for self-supported deployments, and the pilot runs on that basis. Paid contracts — which add 24/7 support and full indemnification — are a decision for after you've seen your number, not before.

  • What happens if the pilot number doesn't hold?

    Then you'll know, in writing, in 30 days — and you'll still keep the working dataflow, the lineage, and the measurement. A falsifiable claim cuts both ways; that's what makes it worth testing.

  • Who approves what the agent does during the pilot?

    Your champion. Nothing the agent builds or changes lands without human approval — every change creates a new immutable version, and full lineage is visible at every step. Safety is a property of the architecture, not a supervision policy.

  • Do you need access to or production systems to implement the pilot?

    No. Tabsdata deploys and operates inside your own network — your cloud, hybrid, or on-premises. There is no outside access to your production systems.

  • What do you ask from design partners?

    Permission to tell the story. That's the ask. In exchange, design partners get hands-on implementation help from the Tabsdata engineering team and direct influence on the roadmap.

  • How much of our team's time does this take?

    One champion, a few hours a week: the scoping call, incremental validation checkpoints as the build progresses, and approvals. The point of the pilot is to compress your team's effort, not add to it.
