The three buyers, and what each one buys
Order matters here, and the page reflects it. Three buyers, and they are not equally served by what is on this site. One has a market above it and nothing underneath. One has nothing at any price. One has two funded incumbents and a free tier already sitting under it, and is here only as a reverse sale. The grouping below adds no offer and no price: it is a second index over the same six, and the third group has nothing built pointing at it at all.
The routing, in one table
| Who is buying | What they are shown | Built for them | The market, evidenced |
|---|---|---|---|
| You run agents “What did I actually grant it?” | t1, t2, add-formats | t1, t2 | read, not run |
| You are an investor “What would somebody who knows what they are doing find?” | t3, t4, add-opinion, add-formats | t3, t4 | read, not run |
| You are a startup “What is diligence going to find before it finds it?” | t3, t4, t2, add-formats | none — see the page | read, not run |
Three groups, six offers, and no seventh: this is an index over the price list, not an extension of it. The middle column is what each group is shown; the third is what was actually built pointing at them, which for one of the three is nothing.
Each row has a page of its own. The offers on it are the same records the offer page renders — the same prices, the same states, the same delivery pages — sorted by whose question they were built to answer instead of by what they cost.
1. You run agents today
The market anchors between eight and one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and nothing sits underneath it. read, not run 10 Sep 2026
That gap is the whole opportunity. Somebody running an agent today, who wants to know what they actually granted it, has a choice between a five-figure engagement and nothing. Tier 1 is ten pounds and answers the smaller version of the question; tier 2 is the version with the regulation attached.
What they are buying is the delta: the union of what a credential permits, against what the holder is authorised and expected to do, and the excess authority between the two. That delta is computed and never stored. It is not a thing we keep about you.

2. You are backing a company, and want somebody to look
No productised, affordable, signed investor review exists at any price — and every component of one is already written. read, not run 10 Sep 2026
That is the emptiest quadrant on this page, and the one the top two tiers point at. Tier 3 is a person reading a situation. Tier 4 is a team.
It is also where the constraint bites hardest. Selling buyers the question, selling suppliers the answer, and selling an opinion that vouches for the suppliers is the combination two industries have already regulated. So:
- The company issues every opinion, with an express non-assumption of personal responsibility on its face. A product sold on a named individual's judgement runs at the test for assumed personal responsibility.
- The people who sell do not sign. That constrains this site's own layout: the signature block and the checkout must not name the same person, and on this site neither names anyone at all.
- The signed opinion is a separate add-on with separate wording, and that wording does not exist yet. does not exist yet 10 Sep 2026

3. You are a startup, and only as the reverse sale
Two funded incumbents, a free tier beneath them, and both already publish the answer. Selling a founder a security posture document is selling into a commoditised tier. read, not run 10 Sep 2026
The unoccupied offer is the reverse one: telling a founder what diligence will find, before it runs. Same components, opposite direction, and it is the only version of this that is not already free somewhere.
And it is not on the price list. The startup page is assembled entirely out of tiers built for the other two buyers — you buy tier 3 or tier 4 and say which direction you want it run in. There is no seventh product behind that sentence, the page says so above its offers rather than below them, and this row is why the grouping is called an index rather than a range. does not exist yet 11 Sep 2026

Why the groups are a view and not a range
Because the alternative is how an offer list grows without anybody deciding to grow it. Three audiences, three pages, and within a month each page has a thing of its own on it that nobody priced, nobody specified, and nobody can say the state of.
So the grouping is mechanical. data/buyers.yml names offer ids and nothing else; the build joins them to data/offers.yml; and the gate fails the release if a group names an offer that does not exist, if an offer belongs to no group, or if the set of groups changes. A buyer page cannot contain a product, in the same way the eight further offers cannot quietly widen the four that are for sale.
What none of the three is buying
Raw findings. Recall-optimised agents run at 0.388 precision — about three findings in five are wrong measured 10 Sep 2026. A list of findings at that precision is not a product, it is a homework assignment with a bill attached. What is sold is triage: every finding that reaches a buyer has been reproduced first, not reviewed.
A verdict about a third party. Where this estate names a competitor, a vendor, a standards body or a platform, it publishes the record — facts, dates, sources — and never the verdict, with no evaluative adjective attached to anybody's name. That rule holds on the pages you can read and it is the reason the documents area is still closed.
A mark of conformity to a standard. Nothing here is one, nothing here claims to be one, and the language of conformity marking is kept off this site entirely — it raises the standard of care beyond ordinary negligence for no benefit to a buyer.
