Question 1

Why not just use Playwright and a contractor?

Accepted Answer

Often you should — Playwright is excellent and free. The case for Aura QA starts when maintenance, not authoring, is your bottleneck: when the suite exists and the team is spending half its week repairing it. We sit on top of that stack rather than replacing it.

Question 2

How is this different from the incumbent AI QA tools?

Accepted Answer

Two things. Their healing is reactive — tests break first, then get patched. Ours re-resolves against stored intent and re-verifies before accepting. And they are cloud-first: if your data cannot leave your network, the evaluation ends there. Aura QA runs fully on-prem against local models.

Question 3

What does the first 21 days look like?

Accepted Answer

Kickoff and first outcome locked within 2 days. Discovery — data, risks, thinnest useful slice — by day 5. A working slice you can run yourself by day 14, and an Alignment Report you can take into a release review by day 21.

Question 4

You are early. Why take that risk?

Accepted Answer

We are pre-revenue and taking two design partners. That is the trade: you get the roadmap shaped around your pipeline and direct access to the engineers building it, at design-partner pricing. We would rather say that plainly than manufacture case studies.

Thirty minutes with the engineers who built it.
