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

Payroll sample output

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 sample

Stripe 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
View sample

Writing sample

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
View sample

Maths sample

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

Sample snapshots

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

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.
