Pricing for the Citation Economy
We price admissibility and enforcement, not seat licenses. Compare Visibility, Compliance, and Trustee below — then request vault access when you are ready to scope volume.

Enforcement Utility (Forensic): Stripe invoices show Deterministic Enforcement Actions: [Quantity] @ $0.05 — usage records attach to each ifq_validation_event. Every enforced action attaches a cryptographically sealed receipt directly to your ledger. This ensures that every "Yes" or "No" the system makes is admissible in a court of law or regulatory audit.
Technical moat
Risk-adjusted enforcement, not seat licenses. The boundary is priced so clients pay for admissibility and regulated endpoints, not dashboard seats.
- Server-only IFQ calculation — blend weights, sovereign regex, and hard-token logic stay on the server; clients receive Identity Fidelity Quotient (IFQ) scores and signed receipts via the deterministic gateway. Patent pending (US Prov. App. No. 63/XXXXX).
- Sovereign anchor mapping — ground-truth documents map to regulatory anchors; shadow citations are checked against your allow-list.
- Merkle-chained forensic ledger — high-stakes trajectories leave tamper-evident receipts suitable for board and regulator review.
