The sales conversation for Agent Autonomy Lease

A word-for-word starting point. Make it sound like you after the first few calls.

The shape of every call (same for all 25)

Open with their world, not ours (1 minute). One sentence about a problem they likely have. Never start with "CAIN-42 is a Byzantine trust fabric"; say that later, when they ask how it works.
Discover (5-10 minutes). Ask the questions below and listen. Write down their exact words; you will use them in the follow-up email.
Show (5 minutes). Run the live demo with them watching. Nothing is pre-recorded: every button calls the real product. Let them pick an attack.
Offer (2 minutes). One offer, one price, one date. Do not list all 25 products.
Next step (1 minute). Before you hang up, agree a date: payment, a scoping call with the founder, or a "no".

Openers (pick one)

"Who decides how much freedom your AI agent has, and can the agent change that?"
"We put a person in charge of an agent's level and budget, with an expiry date."
"Want to see an agent try to sign itself unlimited power?"

Discovery questions

Ask, then stop talking. Each question tells you whether they have the problem and how much it matters.

What can your agents do today?
How are their limits set and reviewed?
Do they spawn sub-agents?
What would a runaway agent cost?

The five-minute live demo

Share your screen. Everything below calls the real product, so it can occasionally be slow or rate limited (a "429" means too many tries from one address; wait a minute). Practise it three times before your first call.

Live demo tools: run the control, then the self-renewal and the salami purchases.
Live demo tools: run the delegation and the downgrade presets.

Objections and honest answers

They say	You answer
"Our permissions already have limits."	Do they expire, add up small purchases, and stop the agent widening them? That is the difference.
"Is the lease signed by us?"	In production, yes, by your person's key. The demo signs its own.

If you do not know an answer: "Good question. I will get you a precise answer from our engineers by tomorrow." Then email the founder. Never guess.
