How much? Is it worth it?
The honest answer: early-access conversations, no public price list yet — because the first pilot customers will calibrate the tiers with us. But the framework and the goal can be stated plainly today.
1.0 · FRAMEWORKContent subscription, tiered by managed part count.
What you subscribe to is not a software license — it is a continuously updated, legal-reviewed, auditable body of decision content that moves when the regulation moves.
Tiered by part count
Fees scale with the number of managed part numbers — a startup with ten parts and a product line with three hundred should not pay the same.
Content stays current
The ruleset tracks a specific eCFR version; after amendments, rule updates and impact re-assessment are part of the subscription, not billed per event.
Early access
Pilot customers negotiate early-access terms, get deployment help first, and a real say in the product roadmap.
2.0 · BENCHMARKOur pricing goal is benchmarked against your counsel budget.
First things first: this is a pricing goal, not a savings guarantee — the actual effect depends on your product mix and how you split work with counsel.
Think of it this way: where the budget goes
Repetitive classification — the Nth derivative part of the same family, the Nth "please provide your classification basis" questionnaire — eats a finite annual legal budget, while the genuinely hard cases queue behind them.
Our pricing goal: one year of subscription below the portion of your budget burned on repetitive classification. What you save is not just money — it is counsel hours returned to where they matter.
How to run the numbers (estimates, not a savings guarantee)
Split last year's export-control legal spend into two piles: ① repetitive classification and proof (cases × average hours × rate), ② genuine case-by-case judgment. Pile ① is the baseline to compare a subscription against.
An interactive calculator is planned; during pilot conversations we will walk this calculation with you — outputs always labeled "estimate, not a savings guarantee".
Counsel is irreplaceable on high-risk matters — our goal is to reserve counsel hours for cases that truly need them, not to replace legal advice.
3.0 · FAQThe three things you probably want to ask.
- Why no public price list?
- Because any number published today would be made up. The tier anchors — part-count bands, the cost of tracking regulatory updates — need real pilot data to calibrate. Early customers trade early-access terms for a real say in pricing; that is honest for both sides.
- What does early access include?
- Everything in the encryption-chip scope (classification assessment, license-exception context, annual self-classification report), deployment help, ruleset updates — and priority say in the roadmap. Details confirmed in writing during conversations.
- Will I be locked in?
- Your classification records and evidence files are exportable in full at any time — the evidence belongs to you, not held hostage by a platform. Evidence produced remains yours after the subscription ends.
