# Vaultfire Scoped Pilot Engagement – Simulated Phase

**Status:** Simulation-only sandbox engagement approved through Codex review. No live production deployment is active.

## Pilot Summary
- **Pilot Type:** Controlled sandbox simulation with belief-first instrumentation.
- **Ethics Signal:** Full transparency on simulated scope; telemetry captured only within the sandbox boundary.
- **Partner Invitation:** Co-design welcome throughout the simulated phase to reinforce Vaultfire values of honesty, rigor, co-creation, and non-hype credibility.

## Objectives
1. **XP System Testing:** Validate simulated XP accrual logic and monitor belief-engine adjustments without touching production data.
2. **Telemetry Flow Validation:** Confirm telemetry pathways, retention rules, and opt-in consent posture using synthetic signals only.
3. **Governance Override Sketch:** Draft override decision trees collaboratively with partners to rehearse escalation patterns before any real-world activation.

## Deliverables
- **Simulated Use Case Walkthroughs (3):** XP loyalty cycle, governance escalation rehearsal, and telemetry ethics review.
- **CLI Logs:** Captured from the Vaultfire CLI belief engine operating in sandbox mode, annotated for partner review.
- **Feedback Form:** Structured response template for partner reflections, insights, and ethics notes.

> **Simulation Notice:** All assets, data points, and learnings remain within the scoped simulation until a separate production readiness approval is granted.
