title: Booking a person
description: "Two of the four tiers are a booking rather than a download: a person reviewing your situation, and an assessment by a team. What a booking commits, what it does not, and why a signature is a separate thing you cannot buy yet."
lead: "**[Tier 3](/d/t3/) and [tier 4](/d/t4/) are bookings.** What is bought is a person's time, and in tier 4's case a team's. That changes what the page can promise, so this one says what a booking commits us to, what it does not, and the one thing it is often mistaken for."

## Only one of the four is a booking

**Three of the four levels need nobody to be scheduled.** The downloaded pack, the
working vault and the corrected vault are produced without a conversation: you pick,
you pay, and the work happens. **Only [the £1,500 level](/d/t4/) is a booking**,
because it is the one whose cost is somebody's time.

That line — between a thing agents do and a thing a person sits down for — is the
line between the third level and the fourth, and it is the only reason the price
moves as far as it does. {{claim:abp-correction-by-a-person}}

## What the two sessions are

**Half an hour to interview your team, and half an hour to deliver.** The first
finds out what is actually running — which agents, on what accounts, with which
credentials, and what anybody believes they are for. The second walks through what
came back.

**Between them, the work.** The mandate is built from the interview rather than
from a form, the delta is recomputed against it, and **a security professional
reviews and signs off** what is delivered. {{claim:abp-sessions-by-a-person}}

**Two sessions is what is sold.** More is a separate conversation, and saying so
before you buy is cheaper than discovering it afterwards.

## What a booking does not buy

**A signed opinion as a formal instrument.** A security professional reviewing and
signing off the work is **not** the company issuing a signed opinion, and **the
wording for that still does not exist.** The two are kept apart on every page here,
because they are one word away from each other and a buyer could reasonably assume
the first is the second. {{claim:opinion-wording-absent}}

**Not a compliance assessment, and not a mark of conformity.** Neither word
describes this and neither appears on anything that comes out of it. The family of words
around conformity marking is avoided outright: it raises the standard of care
beyond ordinary negligence and buys a buyer nothing.

**A named individual's professional responsibility.** The **company** issues every
opinion, with an express non-assumption of personal responsibility on its face.
And **the person who sells is not the person who signs** — which is why no
individual is named on this page, on the checkout, or beside a price anywhere on
this site.

## What comes out of a booking

**Triage, not raw findings.** Every finding that reaches you has been **reproduced**,
not reviewed. Recall-optimised agents run at 0.388 precision — about three findings
in five are wrong — and passing that list on unfiltered would be selling somebody
their own homework. {{claim:precision-0388}}

**Marked outputs.** Anything model generated says so on its face, not only in a
footer. {{claim:transparency-article}}

**A record, never a verdict.** Where the work names a third party — a vendor, a
platform, a standards body, a competitor — what is written down is facts, dates
and sources, with no evaluative adjective attached to anybody's name.

## How to book

**Buy the level, and the sessions are scheduled after.** [Your order](/cart/) takes
you to the payment provider; the conversation follows the purchase rather than
gating it, which is the opposite of how consulting is usually sold and is the
reason it can be bought from a card at all.

**At the event**: the code on the card, which redirects to the delivery page for
that level and says what it covers before you commit.

There is no form on this site — it does not collect anything, from anybody, ever.
