## What we heard
 
{{2-4 sentences in their words about the pain: paperwork hours, parent communication, data fragmentation, etc.}}
 
## What we propose
 
A 3-month free pilot of Balqalam at {{school_name}}, on your own subdomain at
`{{slug}}.balqalam.com`. You get the full PRO feature set with onboarding support
from the founding team. In return you give us weekly 30-minute feedback calls,
≥3 GitHub issue reports per month, and permission to feature your logo as a
pilot partner.

## Why Balqalam for {{school_name}}
 
1. **Arabic-first**, RTL-native — built for MENA, not bolted on. {{tie to their pain}}
2. **Multi-tenant from day one** — your data is isolated by design, not by promise.
3. **Live and proven** — production at [balqalam.com](https://balqalam.com); the King Fahad Schools pilot has been running since April 2026.
 
## Next step
 
A 30-minute call between {{contact_name}} and {{owner}} on {{proposed_date}} to confirm fit and sign the one-page pilot agreement. We provision your subdomain within 24 hours of signing.
 
Reply with "yes" or a counter-time and we will hold the slot.

## Alternative — 12-month extension
 
If your budget is not ready: 12-month pilot extension at $0 with monthly check-ins instead of weekly. We preserve your case study; you preserve cash. Available to 5 of our 10 founding pilots.
 
## Next step
 
Reply with one of three:
 
- **Yes, paid year 1** — we send the agreement.
- **Yes, 12-month extension** — we hold a slot.
- **Not now** — we keep the subdomain live for 30 days for data export.
