## Documented access

The help page distinguishes Pro market exclusions, Business Premium availability and an administrator-enabled enterprise beta. Initial creation uses desktop web or the desktop app.


## Workflow implication

Keep initial setup, cloud execution and optional local-computer access as separate decisions. A plan allowance for deeper work is a budget condition to inspect before scheduling recurring tasks.


## Next checks

1. Check the account’s actual Dot entry, plan and supported region.
2. Start with one bounded read-only task and review its activity before enabling local access or recurring work.

## Evidence and limits
