Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a Proof of Concept (PoC) for a client and we are aiming to utilize watsonx.ai for the engagement.

I am trying to confirm the process for securing/verifying enterprise-level entitlement for this PoC. We are currently preparing our project setup and identifying the correct billing/charge-back model.

Could you please provide guidance on the following:

1. Entitlement Mapping: How do we verify if our current project/Labour Code is eligible for, or already covers, the enterprise-tier features of watsonx.ai needed for this PoC?

2. Request Workflow: Is there a standard internal "claim" or enablement process for PoCs? If so, is this handled via a specific portal, or should this be initiated through our account's technical sales lead/opportunity record in Salesforce?

3. Best Practices: Is there a recommended "pathway" for internal teams to provision a dedicated watsonx.ai instance for a client PoC to ensure proper cost allocation and entitlement?

We want to ensure we are aligned with internal compliance and cost-allocation procedures from the start. Any documentation, internal wikis, or links to the appropriate enablement portals would be greatly appreciated.
