## 6. High-Intent Operational FAQs (AEO Answer Ready)
### Q: How are uploaded RFP documents and architecture specifications secured?
Uploaded files (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, ZIP up to 10 MB) are transmitted over TLS and stored in an isolated, access-controlled Cloudflare R2 vault (`nextedge-rfp-documents`). Only principal architects evaluating your proposal can retrieve the object key.

### Q: Can NextEdge Labs sign our enterprise Mutual NDA before we share sensitive schemas?
Yes. Check the 'Execute a Mutual NDA before sharing detailed technical schemas' box on the intake form and submit a high-level scope summary. We countersign standard US (Delaware/New York) or India (Mumbai/Bengaluru) Mutual NDAs within 1 business day.

### Q: Do you price proposals in both US Dollars (USD $) and Indian Rupees (INR ₹)?
Yes. We structure fixed-milestone Statements of Work in USD ($) for North American and global entities and in INR (₹) with GST invoicing for Indian entities, or hybrid multi-entity commercial schedules.

### Q: What if we want to validate a workflow before issuing a full multi-site RFP?
Select '2–4 Week Bounded Pilot' on the RFP intake form. We connect to one production bottleneck using read-only/sandbox ERP exports, prove the deterministic control gate against live exceptions, and deliver a rollout architecture blueprint.
