- identity: institution | detail: An OSI-licensed public repository at least six months old, with activity in the last 90 days, at least two active maintainers, a documented infrastructure need, and one traction signal (100 GitHub stars, 1,000 monthly downloads, three outside contributors, or 100 active community members). The cost is a public project with traction, not an identity document.
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - write-gated (binding): Five published checks plus human approval decide it, and the page states 'The sponsorship approval is the contract', so the shape is not knowable before the ticket is answered; the cohort table shows '0 of 10 seats filled', so the programme is new and untested. [1]
- limits note: Five published checks plus human approval decide it, and the page states 'The sponsorship approval is the contract', so the shape is not knowable before the ticket is answered; the cohort table shows '0 of 10 seats filled', so the programme is new and untested.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: One approval converts a small public project into a maximum-tier box with a paid SLA, which is the highest-value free compute in this batch.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The size is deliberately unknowable: 'maximum tier' with every resource 'set in your approval' means an approver decides, and 'the approval is the contract' says the page is not binding. The zero-filled cohort is the important number: it is a new programme, so no independent report of an approved seat exists yet, and the 99.9 percent commitment is a promise by a host with 46 Trustpilot reviews rather than a track record in this programme.
