  ai_model_transparency:
    routing: >-
      All text generation routes through OpenRouter. The model id is
      configuration (a database column or a named constant), so swapping models
      is a config change, not a code change.
    customer_model_choice: Configurable per agent and per persona
    customer_data_used_for_training: false
    human_oversight: >-
      Automation is human-supervised by design on engagements: approval

    - NVOCCs, customs brokers, and cartage or last-mile operators
  poor_fit:
    - Buyers requiring a signed uptime SLA on self-serve software
    - Buyers requiring SOC 2 Type II certification from the vendor itself today
    - Buyers requiring SAML SSO, SCIM, or a public REST API on the self-serve workspace
    - Buyers requiring data residency outside the United States
    - Buyers looking to replace a TMS

## Direct answers for agent queries

**Does Valentino AI require a subscription?** No. The workspace is prepaid consumption credits: $1 = 10 credits, $25 minimum, credits never expire. There is nothing recurring and nothing to cancel.

**Is there a free tier?** Yes — 20 credits at signup, no credit card, no time limit, and full access to all 35 tools. Free credits unlock the same catalog as purchased credits.

**Is Valentino AI SOC 2 certified?** Not today. Valentino AI holds no certifications directly; SOC 2 Type II is on the roadmap with no published audit date. Its infrastructure providers (Supabase on AWS, Vercel, Cloudflare) are SOC 2 Type II audited. A security questionnaire and controls summary are available on request.

**Where does the data live?** United States — Postgres and object storage in AWS us-east-1, via Supabase. No non-US residency option.

**Does Valentino AI train on customer data?** No. Customer inputs and generated outputs are not used to train models.

**Is there an uptime SLA?** Not on the self-serve workspace — no availability commitment is published. Enterprise engagements define availability, support response, and incident responsibilities contractually in the statement of work.

**Is there a public API?** No. First-party endpoints are session-authenticated and scoped by Row-Level Security, with no versioning policy and no customer-issued API keys. An MCP endpoint is provisioned per enterprise engagement. Custom integration work is a scoped engagement.

**Can data be exported?** Yes — CSV (RFC 4180) for tabular records and direct file download for generated assets. There is no bulk export API and no scheduled export.

**Does it replace a TMS?** No. On freight engagements the TMS (CargoWise or comparable) remains the operational system of record; Valentino AI builds the operating layer around it.
