BETA TEST 

BEST PRACTICES, GUIDELINES & TIPS 

 
1.

 

Constructive

 | we want to hear the good and the bad. Just try to make it useful: how can 

we do better? What would you have expected and why? What would you do to improve? 
 

2.

 

Regular 

| keep in touch even beyond the questions and surveys we will be sharing with 

you. Something happens and it confuses or frustrates (or delights) you? Drop as a 1-line 
email to express your emotions. 

 
3.

 

Discreet 

| please do not post any information regarding CAIA publicly. We’d like to stay 

off of social media particularly, for a while longer. If you have any friends or family coming 
over and you want to show her off, by all means do so. Just please make sure no photos 
or videos of CAIA are available in public.   

 
4.

 

Ask  questions

  |  even  the  smallest  doubt,  just  drop  us  an  email.  We  may  not  have  the 

answers  to  everything…  Actually,  the  questions  we  don’t  know  the  answers  to,  are  the 
most important ones! Collecting as many questions, comments or concerns as possible 
is of extremely high value to us. 

 
5.

 

Keep the packaging

 | the box CAIA comes in is really useful if you want to move her to 

another  location  (parent’s  home,  partner’s  house,  country-side  or  beach  house). 
Specifically for this Beta Test, if you choose to return her after the test, we really need to 
make sure she arrives in the same condition as when she was sent to you. We strongly 
encourage you to take a photo before removing her from the packaging, so that you can 
pack her in exactly the same way. Then, if it still gets damaged during transport, at least 
we know we did everything we could. 

 
6.

 

Love  her?  Keep  her!

  |  if  this  CAIA  meets  your  expectations  and/or  fulfills  her  duties  to 

your satisfaction, we can arrange for you to keep her, rather than fulfilling your Indiegogo 
pledge at some point in the future. Just drop us an email before the end of the test and 
we’ll get it sorted.  

 

7.

 

Experimentation, experimentation, experimentation! 

| the more fun you have with her, the 

better  feedback  we’ll  get.  Try  pointing  her  on  different  surfaces,  see  if  you  notice 
significant differences in how light diffuses. Try different angles, see if you can get the 
light to reach really hard, tucked away dark spots in your home. Push her limits. Help us 
understand what and where her limits are.
