Free tier	A SGD 150 million programme that passes cloud credits through four providers to Singapore-based companies: AWS 'Up to S$350,000 in dedicated AI Springboard cloud credits and training, with support of up to S$600,000 through complementary AWS support programmes'; Microsoft 'Up to S$250,000 of Azure cloud credits ... with support of up to S$700,000 in services'; Oracle 'Up to S$250,000 per company through Oracle Cloud Universal Credits ... and up to S$1.9 million for enterprises that require private cloud infrastructure'; Google 'Up to S$200,000 worth of on-demand training licences and additional financial incentives'. Consultancy is separately capped at SGD 150,000 with 70 percent support up to SGD 105,000 per company. unit none; metered on wall-clock; partner-credit

Composes with	The four offers are alternatives rather than a sum: a company picks one CSP and its consultant partner, so the realistic ceiling is the AWS package at SGD 350,000 of credits rather than the SGD 850,000 that adding the four numbers suggests. The consultancy subsidy is separate and stackable with the credits, which is what makes the programme pay for the people as well as the compute.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Three readings of the ceiling were considered. (a) A company can claim more than one CSP package: refuted by the structure, the programme pairs each participant with one CSP and its partners. (b) The SGD 350,000 is a credit on a billing account: plausible, the text says 'dedicated AI Springboard cloud credits', though the AWS page is the authoritative source and was not read. (c) The 10-person headcount is waivable for a high-impact use case: unresolved, the baseline criteria are listed without an exception clause, but the assessment section is explicitly discretionary on use-case impact. The headcount rule is the finding: it is the highest personnel gate found and it disqualifies exactly the single-person operator this corpus serves.
