SMART Communications, Inc. offers a Starter Kit that lets companies do a proof-of-concept, then expand the scope on success.

The MAXit Starter Kits include one MAXit Checker license for either Microsoft Word or Adobe FrameMaker. There is a choice of dictionaries, either the aerospace Simplified Technical English (STE) or Plain English (PE). These Starter Kits include a Writer's Guide and email support for 60 days.

The Starter Kit lets the user explore the benefits of Text Simplification on their documentation.
