**Use:** Procurement, legal, and Hub when one institution evaluates both brands

## FAQ

### Can we buy Bank Pilot and TrustField in one contract?

**No.** Separate brands · separate SOWs · separate hero lines. Dual deals are coordinated at the **program level**, not merged in procurement documents.

### What does Noetfield NF-BP deliver?

- Read-only `bank-pilot-v1` shadow evaluate
- RID-keyed audit lineage · compliance log export
- OSFI E-23 orientation (not certification)
- Board PDF orientation for governance committees

### What does TrustField TF-001 deliver?

- RPAA / FINTRAC program evidence
- Partner attestation (e.g. RBC Project Samara, NBC CADD)
- MSB evidence depth — separate from Noetfield www lead wedge

### We are an FRFI evaluating Copilot and RPAA readiness — which first?

Typical path: **NF-RD Copilot Governance Pack** (lead wedge) or **NF-TB Trust Brief** (land) → **NF-BP Bank Pilot** (shadow) for institutional simulation. RPAA/FINTRAC depth → **TrustField TF-001** when MSB evidence is the buyer question.

### Does Bank Pilot replace our OSFI program?

**No.** Orientation only — independent-style decision records, not regulatory certification or OSFI program replacement.

### Does Noetfield handle Project Samara or tokenization rails?

**No.** RBC Project Samara and capital execution positioning are **TrustField** (pf-0108) or prohibited on Noetfield identity. Noetfield does not claim Samara-style settlement or RWA execution.

### Who moves funds?

**No one at Noetfield.** Licensed institutions and partners (VIRLUX, bank cores) execute externally. NF-BP and TF-001 are governance and evidence layers only.

### Can Hub send one email covering both brands?

**No.** One vocabulary per email · one brand per outreach · CASL + Hub approve. Cross-reference the other brand only as a **handoff**, not blended value prop.
