Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; bookings are direct via phone and email. The go-to-market is regional (Regio Zwolle), relationship-driven, and dependent on multi-year contracts with anchor sports clubs and national federations. There is no software or AI component; the platform is purely physical infrastructure.
