Commercial sequence

Prove value in stages.

1

Simulate

Use Patricia Town to create scenarios and identify weak assumptions.

2

Choose one task

Work with a provider or household to define success and handover.

3

Test physically

Use XLeRobot or Bumi in a supervised setting.

4

Repeat

Turn a reliable task into a supported product or service.

Separate opportunity

Phone and web agents for service organisations.

The Patricia architecture could be adapted for banks, insurers, utilities, government or property services. This would require strong authentication, security, audit records and system integration. It should remain a separate customer-led product path.
