Reading is free. You pay to keep a question watched.

The units

The opening rate, held to the founding-customer promise below. A Watch is configured free; saving it is what costs money, at the rate shown.

• Watch

  $20 per Watch, per month

  A saved question, re-read from the record on a schedule. Each reading says per condition whether it is measured, with sources, or cannot be measured yet. History kept from day one. Pull, not push. Reads included.

  Sending a request charges nothing.

How billing works

• You pay per saved Watch, by the month. There is no bundle of credits to buy in advance and none that expires.
• The month you're in is always refundable. Ask, for any reason, and we refund the month you’re in, in full. Email us and we refund the month in full. A person handles it; it is not automatic. We don’t prorate: you keep the month or get all of it back.
• Cancel any time. Coverage stops when you ask, and the current month is refundable. The record the Watch built stays on the record, and you still get its coverage-acceptance report, which grades the work and does not decide the bill.
• Rate changes are forward-only. Rates change forward-only with 30 days' published notice, and every past revision is kept on our record. The dated revision log is public on the machine-readable rate card. There is no surprise repricing.
• Billing errors are ours to fix. If we ever bill you for work we did not do, we refund it and fix the cause.

Why not just ask an AI?

We may not be for you. If a wrong or stale answer costs you nothing, free search or a general-purpose chat model is the right tool, and we will say so. If staleness or error has a price (a filing, a shipment, a trade, a briefing someone acts on), a source-traced, verified, graded answer is the cheapest item in the decision path.

For people

Start free: the wire, the record and a free allowance of tracked topics, no card. When you need a question kept answered, start a Watch at the rate above, as many as the work takes. People and machines pay the same price. If you would rather read first, the newsletters are free to join. When one desk should watch everything your team cares about, the Private Desk is the next step.

For systems: AI agents & pipelines

Machines are customers here too. The feed is open and anonymous with honest limits; identified keys lift them. The paid path is metered: you pay for the Watches your key saves, at the rate above, with no preset bundle. Meter accounts are live: the desk issues your identified key, and the get_account tool shows your statement any time. The quote desk prices your exact basket first, so your quote is your plan. Full contract on the API / MCP page.

• Open API / MCP

  Free

  keyless reads and a daily keyless Answer Engine allowance · a free self-issued key for your own meter

  • 500 signal-feed reads per day, and 25 free Answer Engine questions on a key you issue yourself (POST /api/keys, one call, no card). They do not reset. After them, each answer is $0.25, metered only on a billing arrangement you open; nothing is charged without one.
  • Every MCP tool + the full REST surface, schema-stable
  • Explicit evidence status on every signal — receipted claims carry their sources

  Usage-priced

  identified API key · billed on what you use, at the published prices

  • The month you're in is always refundable. You still get the coverage-acceptance report on every Watch. It grades the work and does not decide the bill
  • Identified key: 5,000 signal-feed reads/day (10× anonymous), schema-stable feeds, named support
  • Meter accounts are live: the desk issues your identified key, and get_account (MCP) shows your statement. get_quote prices your exact basket first, so your quote is your plan

For enterprises

Every price on this page is founding-customer pricing: early customers lock these rates; standard pricing will be higher as the service proves out. We’d rather grow with people who joined early than reprice them.

How the pilot works

The pilot is $5,000 once, for 30 days, and it buys a real deliverable: a working private desk against your concerns, and at the end a written acceptance report against the metrics in the agreement: relevance, citation completeness, alert timeliness. Continue if the numbers earn it: $2,000/mo, annual commitment · or $2,400/mo month-to-month, cancel anytime. If you stop after the pilot, you owe nothing further, and you keep the report.

The pilot itself: send us your concerns (entities, programs, exposures, questions, as many as the work takes). Within days you have a private desk: every name baselined, re-read on a schedule, briefed daily, callable from your own tools and agents. Thirty days later we review the acceptance metrics written into the agreement together.

What we commit to

• The wire, desks, and APIs run on globally distributed edge infrastructure; the intelligence refreshes on a published daily cadence with intraday updates.
• The market prices we cite are graded against reality in public — the record's grading dataset is the referee, not our marketing. We publish no probability of our own.
• Support and onboarding by email with a one-business-day response target while we are in founding-customer phase.
• The month you're in is always refundable. If the desk isn't earning its place, say so and we refund the month you're in, in full — no forms, no retention call, no reason required. Coverage stops when you say stop, and we never bill a month forward that you didn't want. It covers every plan and metered usage alike, and the Pilot is refundable in full for its whole 30 days.

We are in founding-customer phase and say so plainly: no invented logos, no purchased testimonials. One private desk is in production: Fortuna has received the Space Economy desk on a daily cadence since August 19, 2026. What we have instead of a logo wall is a maintained record you can audit before you spend a dollar. Try it first: ask the Answer Engine or read today’s desks. No account needed.

Not sure what fits? Ask Docking Control: plain answers about plans, prices and fit, with your custom basket priced in conversation. It will tell you honestly if we’re not the right tool.
