Licensing Pelican AI is available as an enterprise license or as SaaS. Prices and deployment times are not published. A bank or hub preparing for ISO 20022 would likely ask how screening scenarios are tuned, how message formats are mapped, and how alert volumes are measured before and after the AI layer is applied.
