I'm aware this is going to turn a significant number of people away.

The fact is in the early stage, this will help restrict fraud and bring in more engaged customers to ensure their expectations are met.

Sure, the reasoning is clear, we're in a "fraud first" world. Still yet, if there was some sandboxed setup I could use, I'd happily do that. And if it works, I'd happily hand in (my employer's...) billing info thereafter.

Can you describe what are the limitations you might be willing to live with on a frictionless sign up?

For example, if you only had 2 compute hours, would it be enough for your evaluation?

Absolutely! 1 hour would suffice, and any computing/IO resources could be limited to a near zero.

I'm thinking we'll put something in place for free frictionless small evaluation after we think about fraud management a little bit.

Thanks for the feedback here everyone this is really invaluable!
