Audit an explicitly compatible same-process buffer ownership boundary. A borrowed view may avoid an eligible copy only while byte-for-byte identity, lifetime safety and format compatibility are satisfied; fall back to copying when the contract is uncertain.
Optimized same-process allocate-copy / borrowed-buffer path, plus real gRPC or Protobuf transfer if present; exact-byte checks, CPU, p99 and p99.9.
Fixed-scope diagnostic: €3,200. One approved 1-KiB-class compatible buffer boundary and sample, one isolated non-production environment, up to 30 paired repetitions/configuration where feasible. Competitor and acceptance metrics agreed in writing; unsupported tests marked NOT TESTED.
Included: one 45-minute kickoff, one 45-minute results call, one clarification email thread within five business days; an 8–12-page dossier with method, measured deltas and limitations; aggregate results, SHA-256 manifest, written GO / NO-GO / INCONCLUSIVE.
Payment: 50% on accepted signature and 50% on delivery. Taxes/withholding per quote. Target 10 business days after all complete inputs are accepted. Extra meetings, datasets, environments, tests, external lab costs or engineering require a separately priced signed change order.
Excluded: changes to client code or production, architecture consultancy, on-call/incident handling, certification, guaranteed savings, engine/source licence, and indefinite support. Client owns its data; provider retains proprietary IP. Even NO-GO fulfills a correctly delivered diagnostic. Public terms are not binding before a signed quote and applicable data/privacy terms.
