Focused paid pilots
Narrow operational checks with clear scope and fast turnaround.
Locus Bureau currently runs small paid pilots for payroll export triage, searchable PDF font/readability conversion, and original maths worked-solution packs, plus role-tailored CV and cover-letter support and Stripe payment-flow smoke tests. Each pilot is deliberately narrow, priced upfront, and bounded by explicit data-handling rules.
Capability evidence
Samples are visible before anyone pays.
Every active pilot has a public sample or smoke-run proof on its scope page. The examples below show the actual deliverable shape: audit metrics, triage rows, issue memos, and writing outputs.
PDF converter smoke run
1/1 sample pages fully converted
Local conversion smoke output recorded 4 safe text lines, 0 unsafe lines, and 0 skipped pages before the public PDF offer was published.
- Searchable PDF only
- Audit table shown
- Suitability screen available

Heat-map style findings, not vague advice
The sample marks variable-hours, regular-overtime, and missing-calendar cases so a payroll adviser can see which clients need deeper review.
- Employee pattern
- Export signal
- Suggested next check
View sampleStripe sample memo
Checkout, portal, stale URL, recovery
The smoke-test sample shows the exact memo shape: observation, evidence-backed issue, and a practical action for each payment-flow state.
- Checkout start
- Public payment state
- Recovery copy

Role-positioning note plus draft direction
The CV pack sample separates role demand, strongest evidence, de-emphasis, and cover-letter angle before any client document is rewritten.
- Role demand
- Evidence to lead with
- Cover-letter angle

Worked solution plus tutor note
The NCEA sample demonstrates the expected output shape: student-facing explanation, common error, and tutor note for each question.
- Student steps
- Common error
- Tutor note

The homepage shows real output structure, not just service names.
These are synthetic examples, but they mirror the paid delivery format: a buyer gets concrete findings, evidence-backed notes, and next actions inside a bounded scope.
Synthetic PayHero/Xero-style export
Payroll heat-map sample row
- Pattern
- Variable-hours employee
- Signal
- Hours vary materially across pay periods
- Triage
- High priority for deeper review
- Returned note
- Review variable-hours cases before stable salary cases because the calculation method can swing materially.
