It works best with an engaged faculty or program sponsor and an IT contact who can help with access and installation approvals.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>Do we need to buy new hardware?<\/summary><p>We first assess what you already have and match the pilot to equipment that can support it. Existing computers may be sufficient for a modest starting scope. If they are not, we discuss the options before committing to the sprint. Model size, performance, and simultaneous users depend on available resources.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>What does &#8220;low-cost or open-source tools&#8221; mean?<\/summary><p>The core pilot is built on tools that are open source or free to use for your agreed purpose, such as Ollama, Open WebUI, AnythingLLM, Jan, and LM Studio, paired with openly available models. Some are fully open source; others, like LM Studio, are free to use but not open source. We check suitability and usage terms during scoping. This does not mean operating the lab has no costs: equipment, electricity, IT support, and any optional paid services still need to be considered.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>How do privacy and responsible use fit in?<\/summary><p>We start with approved, non-sensitive materials and discuss data handling, permissions, model limitations, and human review. Local deployment can support greater control over data, but the actual configuration matters. Your institution retains responsibility for its policies and approval of student access and data use.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>What happens when something needs fixing or updating?<\/summary><p>Your team keeps the setup scripts, tool configurations, and plain-English notes from the sprint. If a computer is reset, you add machines, or a tool needs updating, your IT contact can follow the steps without starting over. If you want help, weekly extensions or ongoing support can be scoped separately.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>Do you work on-site or remotely?<\/summary><p>Both. Much of the mentoring works well remotely, and hands-on setup often benefits from time on-site with your team. We agree on the mix during the free assessment. If you prefer on-site sessions, travel expenses are added to the sprint price at cost and agreed in advance.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>How large is the sprint?<\/summary><p>This is a focused pilot engagement. The number of devices and participants, session schedule, delivery format, and project complexity are agreed before work begins. Larger rollouts, advanced model training, ongoing administration, and additional projects can be scoped separately.<\/p><\/details>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <!-- CTA -->\n  <section class=\"jpb-cta\">\n    <div class=\"jpb-container\">\n      <div class=\"jpb-cta-box\">\n        <div>\n          <div class=\"jpb-kicker\">Let&#8217;s Talk About Your Lab<\/div>\n          <h2>Start with a free assessment.<\/h2>\n          <p>Tell me about your students, your goals, and the equipment you have.
