Partner pilot kits
Software v1.35.0 ships partner doctor, status, printable board, and ops-kit plus NGO, university, and civil-protection type kits. Sim pilots first - still not free commercial broadband.
Honest scope (required brief)
Store-and-forward knowledge + community mesh + optional free-to-air weather products. Never claim free Starlink-style internet or a complete archive of every text. Legal one-pager ships inside every kit.
Download a kit
Each zip contains checklist (MD + HTML), legal one-pager, training half-day, field-day runbook, pilot-report template, and key docs (first-boot, disaster drill, threat model, live RX).
NGO pilot kit
Half-day training + weekend village demo. Sim portal first, then optional mesh and FTA product import.
University kit
Student open-corpus contribution path, pytest lab, dual-access catalog export. PD/CC only.
Civil protection kit
2-node mesh validate, USB mule handoff, disaster drill. Receive-only weather optional.

Exit code 0 from readiness means go_sim_pilot is true (classroom / NGO lab). Field RF still needs station + SatDump stack; a dongle is optional if you only import SatDump products.
