A 90-Day Pilot of
The Wholeness Path

The Right Fit

This pilot is appropriate for institutional partners that meet most or all of the following criteria:

• An organization serving 30 or more individuals who would benefit from trauma-informed assessment and ongoing healing tools — students, clients, employees, program participants, or staff.
• At least one designated facilitator on staff (counselor, social worker, HR lead, program coordinator) who can complete the 4-hour training and serve as the primary point of contact during the pilot.
• Existing crisis response infrastructure the platform can integrate with — clear protocols for routing users who flag elevated risk to appropriate clinical or community support.
• Leadership commitment to a good-faith evaluation at the end of 90 days, including willingness to share aggregate outcome data and participate in the evaluation process.
• A working assumption that, if outcomes meet expectations, full deployment is realistic for your organization within 6 months of pilot conclusion.

If most of these are true, the pilot is likely to be productive for both parties. If several are not yet in place, we recommend a preliminary conversation to determine whether to pilot now or address those foundations first.

The Full Platform,
Limited Scope

During the 90-day pilot, your organization receives full access to the entire Wholeness Path platform for the agreed-upon cohort, plus a dedicated implementation partnership with the C.U.R.E. team.

Platform Access

• The complete 9-domain trauma assessment (45+ items) for all pilot participants
• Personalized results, regimen, and Daily Companion for each user
• Facilitator dashboard for tracking aggregate engagement (no individual data)
• Crisis-routing integration with your organization's existing protocols
• All platform updates and content additions released during the pilot period

Implementation Support

• 4-hour facilitator training for up to 3 designated staff members
• Dedicated weekly check-in calls (30 min) with the C.U.R.E. team
• Crisis response consultation as needed
• Custom onboarding materials adapted to your context (school, youth org, workplace)
• Mid-pilot review at day 45 with adjustments as needed
• Comprehensive evaluation report at day 90

Cohort Size & Scope

Standard pilots run with cohorts of 30 to 100 participants. Larger cohorts (up to 250) are possible but require an extended setup phase. Smaller cohorts (under 30) reduce the statistical reliability of outcome measurement.

The Four Phases,
Week by Week

The 90-day pilot follows a deliberate four-phase structure. Each phase has clear deliverables, defined check-ins, and concrete milestones.

What We Track,
What We Report

The pilot measures outcomes across three categories: engagement, self-reported impact, and (where applicable) institutional metrics. All individual user data is fully private; only aggregate, anonymized results are shared.

Targets reflect realistic ranges based on trauma-informed program research. Actual results vary by population and implementation. Targets are not contractual guarantees; they are reasonable benchmarks against which we and you will jointly evaluate the pilot.

The Cost of the Pilot

Pilot pricing is structured to make participation accessible while reflecting the real cost of implementation support. Three pricing tiers reflect different organizational contexts.

SUBSIDIES & ALTERNATIVE PATHWAYS

For Title I schools, foster-care-serving organizations, juvenile justice diversion programs, and youth nonprofits with documented funding constraints, sliding-scale and grant-supported pilot pricing is available — including no-cost pilots in cases where outcome data and case study development serve C.U.R.E.'s mission objectives. Inquire directly.

WHAT THE FEE COVERS

The pilot fee covers all platform access for the 90-day period, all facilitator training, weekly check-ins with the C.U.R.E. team, the mid-pilot review, the final evaluation report, and 30 days of post-pilot transition support. There are no additional fees, hidden costs, or upsells during the pilot.

PILOT-TO-DEPLOYMENT CREDIT

If your organization moves to full deployment within 6 months of pilot conclusion, 50% of the pilot fee credits toward your first-year deployment cost. This is not contingent on outcomes — it is a structural credit honoring your investment in the trial.

What Each Side Brings

What C.U.R.E. Provides

• Full platform access for the cohort during the pilot period
• Facilitator training and certification
• Weekly implementation calls and ongoing support
• Mid-pilot review and adjustment recommendations
• Comprehensive evaluation report at conclusion
• 30 days of transition support after pilot ends

What Your Organization Provides

• Designated facilitator(s) — at least one staff member able to commit ~4 hours/week during deployment phase
• Cohort identification, recruitment, and consent processes appropriate to your context
• Existing crisis-response infrastructure to integrate with platform
• Aggregate institutional data for outcome measurement (where applicable)
• Good-faith participation in mid-pilot review and final evaluation
• Permission to develop a case study from the pilot (final approval reserved to your organization)

Both sides commit to clear, honest communication throughout. If something is not working at any point during the pilot, we want to know — early and directly. The pilot is designed to surface those signals, not hide them.

The Three Paths Forward

At the conclusion of the 90 days, your organization has three clear paths forward. None is presented as the "right" choice — the right choice is the one that genuinely serves the people you serve.

PATH 1: FULL DEPLOYMENT

If the pilot demonstrates value and your organization is ready, we move to a full deployment agreement. Pricing is detailed in our institutional offerings — typically $1,800–$10,000+ annually depending on scale. The pilot-to-deployment credit (50% of pilot fee) reduces your first-year cost.

PATH 2: EXTENDED PILOT

If the pilot shows promise but you need more time to evaluate — for budget cycles, leadership transitions, or further iteration — we can extend the pilot for an additional 90 days at a discounted rate ($1,500–$4,000 depending on tier). This allows continued data gathering while you finalize the longer-term decision.

PATH 3: GRACEFUL CONCLUSION

If the pilot demonstrates that this is not the right fit for your organization at this time — for any reason — the engagement ends cleanly. Your organization keeps the final evaluation report. Cohort users receive 60 days of continued platform access to complete what they started. There is no further obligation.

How to Begin

If you are interested in moving forward with a pilot, the next step is a 30-minute discovery call between your leadership and the C.U.R.E. team. In that call we will:

1. Confirm fit based on your organization's specific context and population
2. Identify the appropriate pilot tier and pricing
3. Discuss timing, ideal cohort, and facilitator assignment
4. Answer remaining questions and address concerns directly
5. Schedule the kickoff meeting if both parties agree to proceed

To schedule the discovery call, contact Martin Casares III directly:

Email: martincasares@mendme.org
Subject line: "Pilot Inquiry — [Your Organization Name]"

Please include in your initial message: your organization's name and type, approximate cohort size you are considering, anticipated timeline, and any specific questions arising from this proposal. We typically respond within 2 business days and schedule discovery calls within 1–2 weeks.

An Optional Indication of Interest

This proposal does not constitute a contract or binding agreement. However, if your organization wishes to indicate serious interest in proceeding with a pilot — for instance, to share with funders or board members as part of internal alignment — the signature block below can serve as a non-binding letter of intent.

Signing below indicates that your organization is interested in pursuing a pilot conversation and agrees in principle with the structure outlined in this document. It does not obligate either party financially or contractually. A formal pilot agreement, with full legal terms, will be executed separately if both parties decide to proceed after the discovery call.
