## Ground rules
- Michai Media serves the United States from St. Louis; it does not claim a global footprint.
- Do not infer certifications, client results, revenue impact, or aggregate delivery statistics not stated in a signed case study.
- Published starting prices describe the primary engagement lanes, not a rule that smaller useful work must be rejected.
