Who to approach

Questions to ask them

30-second pitch

CAINBudget is a hard spending limit for each AI agent: one cent over and the spend is refused.

We recorded 5 live checks, including 3 attack cases it had to refuse or flag, and every one matched. You can re-run them yourself without an account.

Subject: a hard spending limit for each AI agent

Hi [first name],

One AI agent stuck in a loop can run up a bill overnight.
CAINBudget gives each agent a limit it cannot get past: one cent over and the spend is refused, with a signed receipt.

LinkedIn connection note (under 300 characters)

Hi [name], we give each AI agent a hard spending limit; one cent over is refused. Happy to show you the live demo.

One follow-up, three days later (then stop)

Hi [first name], here is the live demo: https://cainstudio.online/guide-cainbudget-lab.html

Live demo call script

1. Show the normal case
   Do: Open https://cainstudio.online/guide-cainbudget-lab.html and run: Ask for $49.99
   Say: Under the limit.

2. Now the attack
   Do: Run: Ask for $50.01 (one cent over)
   Say: One cent over the limit is refused.

3. Now the attack
   Do: Run: Ask for $75
   Say: Over the limit.

4. Let them check you
   Do: Send the kit link and ask them to run python3 verify.py --live on their own computer.
   Say: They don't have to take your word for any of this. That's the point.

5. Say the limit yourself
   Do: It only knows about spending your agent asks it about. A payment step that skips the check is not covered.
   Say: Say it before they ask. It costs nothing and it earns trust.

When they push back

We have alerts from our cloud provider.

Alerts tell you after. CAINBudget refuses the spend before it happens.

Does it move money?

No. It decides yes or no; your payment step asks it first.

Why should I believe your numbers?

You shouldn't have to. Run the kit on your own computer: https://cainstudio.online/ihvrk-cainbudget.html. It re-sends every request and compares the answers, using no code of ours.

What doesn't it do?

Written down here: https://cainstudio.online/guide-cainbudget-limits.html

Are you SOC 2 or ISO certified?

No, we hold no certification. What we offer instead is evidence you can check yourself.

Has anyone independent tested it?

No third-party audit has been completed. The attack cases in the kit are our own. I'd rather tell you that now.

Who else uses it?

We are an early company. I can show you the product working and the evidence, not a customer list.

It found nothing. So we're safe?

No. It means none of its checks fired. It doesn't prove something is safe.

How much is it?

Sell CAINBudget as the $500 30-day pilot.
