Answer with a tick. There are no wrong answers.
The ticks tell you whether to go on, wait, or look elsewhere. In this guide, a private AI server means a server you own, with the AI model running on it. Local AI is planned as the second step, after the server is proven.
How to read your ticks
| Ticks | What to do |
|---|---|
| Six or seven | Worth a first conversation. |
| Four or five | Talk to us, but expect some gaps. |
| Three or fewer | Wait, or ask an IT person you trust. |
The fifth line matters most
MeshVault does not take healthcare, legal or financial-advice clients for now.
- Owner-run businesses of about 5 to 50 people.
- LimitHealthcare, legal and financial-advice clients are declined for now. That is our limit today, not a verdict on your business.
Renting can cost less
Renting AI from a big vendor may cost you less each month than owning a server. Owning buys control, an easy export and a clear exit. If control is not worth extra effort to you, say so early.

What to do next
