Slide contents
1. A factory on subscription
Commercial products and an affordable pilot choice
2. Buy a process, not a promise
Four products, access conditions and one bounded pilot
3. Names hide different units of work
Compare input, coordination and output
4. A mission separates work and verification
A behavioural contract precedes the feature list
5. Validation needs a runnable application
A scriptable user journey is an entry condition
6. Auto-Triage starts with a signal
Auto-Triage: investigation, routing or repair
7. Events alone do not form a factory
Cursor Automations launch Cloud Agents
8. 8090 preserves a chain of decisions
Requirement, architecture, work order, implementation
9. Product output defines the responsibility boundary
Code, PR, acceptance and release are distinct states
10. Cheap entry does not guarantee cheap tasks
Official terms snapshot: 27 October 2026
11. Missions require Extra Usage enabled
A $20 plan + at least $10 credits gives a $30 entry estimate
12. Two pages disagree about cloud computers
Managed Droid Computers: Pro in docs, Plus on pricing
13. Build the budget by cost source
Illustrative arithmetic; this is not an actual bill
14. Design access before connecting tools
A teaching repository and synthetic data
15. Without history, outcomes are unexplained
Plan, diff, checks, interventions and spending
16. Choose Factory for the teaching task
Workflow fit matters more than an overall ranking
17. Freeze the pilot specification before launch
Matched task, starting revision and evaluator
18. Choose fallback conditions in advance
Feature access, environment, observability and budget
19. Documentation does not replace our own run
Separate claims, entitlement, execution and results
20. The output is a testable pilot plan
Next, run a bounded process and preserve evidence
