Free first, because it is the argument rather than an objection: the fifteen templates are published with read keys and anybody can take one. What each paid step adds only means anything next to a column that does not have it.

| What you get | |||||
| The behaviour policy, the grant, the mandate and the deltaThe document itself is the same at every level. What changes is the form it arrives in and who does the correcting. | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Packaged as a downloadAt the free level you take the files off the published vault yourself. From the first paid level a zip arrives on the page you land on, with its size and its sha256 beside it. | Take it yourself | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| A vault you hold the keys toA vault is versioned, has its own app, and can be handed to somebody with a read key. None of that survives an email, which is the difference between the first paid level and the second. | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Your own history, and a read key you can hand onThe property that makes a vault worth more than its contents: a reader you hand the key to sees what you see, and every change is dated. | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| The public key taken off itA published template carries a read key anybody has. Yours does not. | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Whose work it is | |||||
| The mandate corrected against your situationBelow this line the mandate is the starting one, written to be corrected, and correcting it is yours to do. At and above it, that correction is done for you against the industry, the use case and the details you send. | — | — | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| A named security professional does the workThe two upper levels are somebody's time rather than a pipeline, which is why their delivery estimate depends on a calendar. | — | — | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Reviewed and signed off by that professionalSigned off is not the company issuing a signed opinion as a formal instrument. That wording does not exist on this site and the delivery page keeps the two apart. | — | — | — | — | ✓ |
| Time with them, on a callTwo half-hour sessions: one to find out what is actually running, one to deliver it. | — | — | — | — | Two half hours |
| What you may do with it | |||||
| LicenceThe published files are Creative Commons Attribution, which obliges anybody using them to credit the source wherever it ends up. Every paid level replaces that with a commercial licence to the buyer over the same material. | CC BY — you must attribute | Commercial, to you | Commercial, to you | Commercial, to you | Commercial, to you |
| Use it in client work without crediting usThe practical difference the licence makes, said in the words somebody would actually use it in. | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |

| When it arrives | |||||
| DeliveryAt the two upper levels the clock starts when you send the details rather than when you pay, because until then there is nothing to work on. The constraint is one person's calendar. | Now | Immediately | 1 to 2 days | 1 to 3 days from your reply | 1 to 5 days from your reply |
| Paid in full up frontThe two produced levels take the whole price. The two that are somebody's time take a fifth on the order and the rest when the work is in your hands. | Nothing to pay | ✓ | ✓ | A fifth now | A fifth now |
Every cell is read off something: a price in data/offers.yml, a sentence about what a level delivers, a line about what it does not, or a licence that has been ruled. A row whose five cells cannot each be pointed at is not in the file, which is why some things a reader might expect are missing rather than hedged.
The same table on paper. What each level actually gets you — PDF. 5 columns, 18 rows, 118KB, A4 landscape, rendered from the live table through this site’s own print stylesheet rather than retyped. Taken at v0.3.18; the site is now v0.3.24, so the rows may have moved since.
