Capability Model
Three clear buying lanes, no feature-tier maze.
Free Core is for real product use, not a demo wall. Credits scale the parts of the product with variable AI, warehouse, and automation cost. Enterprise Controls cover the security, compliance, and commercial commitments that need a shared rollout plan.

What happens after the free credits
Every workspace receives 5,000 free credits each month. Admins can buy self-serve packs from billing settings after signup and admin setup. Larger committed-credit agreements remain sales-led.
Free Core is the public signup path. New workspaces still have revenue-safety throttles and an emergency activation disable switch behind the scenes.
Public dollar prices are not listed on this page. After signup and admin setup, workspace admins can buy approved self-serve credit packs from billing settings.
Committed credits, custom terms, security review, and support commitments remain sales-led.
Canonical Metric API reads are recorded for visibility during beta but do not spend credits. AI assistance, warehouse work, validation, deploy, and rollback automation can spend credits.
If credit usage is reversed after a failed operation, the reversal appears in the billing receipt trail.
Existing customers will receive migration communication before any subscription or credit transition action.
Credit Consumption
Credits are for AI assistance, warehouse work, and deployment automation.
Free monthly credits are consumed before paid or committed credits. Normal reads, comments, approvals, notes, and Canonical Metric API reads stay in Free Core during beta.

Expansion Path
Start with Free Core, expand through usage and controls.
Beta teams can prove the governed metric workflow first. As agents, dashboards, and internal systems depend on the Canonical Metric API, credits and Enterprise Controls create a commercial path without closing off the core lifecycle.
