Pilot

Prove sponsored engagement in 6–8 weeks.

Launch one paid, measurable PLLAY pilot with a defined integration, audience cohort, campaign scorecard and production decision.

Every PLLAY pilot is a paid, scoped engagement run directly with the PLLAY team — every partner today enters at stage one — a scoped, paid engagement run directly with the pllay team. This page is how you choose the integration pattern, define the scope, and get to a production decision.

Who it's for

Four platform audiences. One pilot process.

Choose one package

Four packages, matched to how you'd actually integrate.

Structured Event / Browser PilotIn Development

Best for game and web platforms.

partner-api is deployed with key auth, a documented rate limit, and signed, retried webhook delivery. @pllay/sdk v0.1.0 is built and internally tested, but not published to npm — no partner can npm install it today.

Clip Interaction PilotAvailable

Best for gaming clips and recorded content.

All 38 of Vision AI's benchmark trials are recorded video — a clip is the case the resolver is actually validated on.

CTV Second-Screen PilotIn Development

Best for connected television and video networks.

The underlying QR / second-screen mechanism is live in production — mobile web, no install, is how every fan on PLLAY plays today. A CTV-specific pairing integration has not run against a real CTV surface — today's evidence is the second-screen mechanism, not a shipped CTV product.

Enterprise Strategic PilotIn Development

Best for large platforms requiring custom identity, security or procurement.

The schema is multi-tenant by design — per-partner credentials and brand configuration — but it has never been exercised by more than one real external partner at a time, so isolation at production scale is unverified. Key-based authentication (Authorization: Bearer pllay_sk_…) is deployed and admin-provisioned per partner.

Standard scope

What's in the box, every time.

One integration pattern

The package you choose in §2 sets this — one pattern per pilot, not a bundle.

One partner surface

One surface

Three to five interaction formats

Generalizes the CTV-specific criterion of three challenge formats (config/media-ctv.ts) across a wider range for other surfaces.

One reward adapter

One reward mechanism configured for the pilot's duration, not the full Rewards & Ledger catalog.

One sponsor or campaign brief

One campaign

Defined audience cohort

The integration runs against real content, with a defined audience and duration, measured against the objective set in stage one. This is the stage PLLAY's Proof Sprint runs today.

Timeline

6–8 weeks, start to production decision.

  1. Week 1

    Commercial and technical alignment

    A first commercial engagement, scoped and paid, with a named integration goal and success criteria set upfront with the PLLAY team.

  2. Weeks 2–3

    Integration and campaign configuration

    PLLAY provisions a partner-specific, non-production integration environment and API credentials directly with our engineering team — there is no public self-serve sandbox.

  3. Week 4

    Testing and controlled traffic

    The integration runs against a small, controlled slice of traffic before the audience cohort sees it.

  4. Weeks 5–7

    Live pilot and optimization

    The integration runs against real content, with a defined audience and duration, measured against the objective set in stage one. This is the stage PLLAY's Proof Sprint runs today.

  5. Week 8

    Executive readout and production decision

    The pilot's scope becomes the production integration — the same architecture and credential pattern, promoted rather than rebuilt.

Scorecard

What week 8's readout is scored against.

Reach

People present for the content the campaign ran against, and inside its eligibility rules.

Participation

People who took an action — not people who were served something.

Completion

Interactions carried through to a resolved outcome, rather than opened and abandoned.

Repeat use

People who came back for a second interaction. The signal that separates a novelty from a habit.

Resolution accuracy

Where Vision AI resolves the pilot's outcomes: 31 of 38 recorded benchmark trials auto-settled, 0 wrong auto-settles, 7 declined rather than guessed — see /validation for the full record.

Reward success

Funded rewards actually claimed, as distinct from rewards awarded.

Sponsor cost per verified engagement

Campaign cost over completed, verified interactions — the denominator being an action, not an impression.

Integration and operations performance

These are internal engineering design targets, not results measured from production traffic. PLLAY has not published a live latency, throughput or success-rate number — see /developers. A pilot's integration is tracked against those same design targets — see /platform#performance-targets.

Commercial principles

The terms every pilot runs on.

Paid pilot

A first commercial engagement, scoped and paid, with a named integration goal and success criteria set upfront with the PLLAY team.

Defined data rights

What each side may do with pilot data — and what happens to it after — is written down before the pilot starts, not negotiated after.

Production economics agreed before launch

The pilot's scope becomes the production integration — the same architecture and credential pattern, promoted rather than rebuilt. The terms that conversion runs on are set at the same time, not renegotiated once the pilot is already live.

Decision date

Week 8 is a decision, not a debate — the readout date is fixed at kickoff, and the pilot ends with a yes, a no, or a specific named gap, not an open-ended extension.

No broad exclusivity

A pilot buys PLLAY's time and attention on your integration — it does not buy a lock on PLLAY working with anyone else in your category.

No unpaid bespoke development

Custom engineering scoped for your pilot is part of the paid engagement. PLLAY does not build bespoke integration work speculatively, unpaid, ahead of a signed pilot.
