  "_POSITIONING": "We do NOT publish inventory counts or claim immediate availability for any machine. M4/M4 Pro requests ask us to confirm whether we can supply a configuration — which we may fulfil from hardware we already own or by acquiring it after confirming with the customer. M6 requests collect advance rental demand for hardware not yet in our facility; nothing is allocated or guaranteed.",

  "_SCOPE": "DEMAND VALIDATION ONLY. This site exists to find out which configurations people want, at what price, for what duration, and whether they will leave contact details. It deliberately does NOT define operational details - remote access, bandwidth, backups, reboot, support hours, provisioning or billing. Those are decided only if demand is proven. Do not add specification claims to the site without explicit instruction.",
