Access models
Priced against governed outcomes
A fixed deployment fee, plus either outcome-based pricing or a monthly retainer. Pilot access is time-limited and free for qualified organisations — no commitment required.
Sandbox
Simulation only
Free
No agreement required
- 1,000 evaluations / month
- Mock responses — not production
- Public API + Governance Console
- Community support
Pilot
Time-limited · free
By review
Every application read by the founder
- Protected core access
- Real enforcement, not simulation
- Full technical specification
- Founder-led onboarding
- Outcome-based or retainer after pilot
Enterprise
Commercial · custom
Custom
Deployment fee + outcome or retainer
- Everything in Pilot
- Custom deployment fee
- SSO, multi-tenancy, SLA
- Full enforcement + audit trails
- Named support engineer
What each model includes
The difference that matters is enforcement: the sandbox advises, a pilot enforces. Everything else follows from that line.
| Capability | Sandbox | Pilot | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluations | 1,000 / month | Scoped to use case | Contracted volume |
| Enforcement | Simulated only | Real, deterministic | Real, deterministic |
| Audit trail | Sample records | Signed, exportable | Signed + retention policy |
| Governance Console | Mock data | Your decisions | Multi-tenant, RBAC |
| Technical specification | Public overview | Full, under NDA | Full + integration support |
| SSO | — | — | SAML / OIDC via WorkOS |
| Support | Community | Founder-led | Named engineer + SLA |
| Commercials | Free | Free, time-limited | Deployment fee + outcome or retainer |
How the commercial model works
ARF is not sold per seat. Governance value scales with the volume and consequence of the decisions being governed, so the model has two parts.
01
Fixed deployment fee
Integration into your infrastructure, policy authoring, and the initial control-plane configuration. One-time, scoped in writing.
02
Outcome-based or retainer
Then either a share of measured risk reduction, or a flat monthly retainer. You choose which at the end of the pilot.
03
Pilot costs nothing
Time-limited and free for qualified organisations. No commitment, no auto-conversion — the commercial conversation happens after.
Common questions
Why is the pilot free?
Governance only proves itself against real decisions. A time-limited pilot lets your risk owners see enforcement and audit evidence on your own traffic before any commercial conversation.
What does outcome-based pricing measure?
Measured risk reduction against a baseline agreed at the start of the pilot — blocked high-risk actions, resolved exceptions, audit findings closed. If the measurement is contested, you take the retainer instead.
Can we run ARF in our own environment?
Yes. Enterprise deployments run inside your perimeter. The control plane never needs to send decision payloads outside your infrastructure.
What happens when the pilot ends?
Nothing automatic. There is no auto-conversion and no billing surprise — the pilot simply stops enforcing unless you sign an Enterprise agreement.
Is the sandbox safe to point at production data?
No. The sandbox returns simulated responses and should be treated as a demonstration surface. Use synthetic or redacted payloads.
How do you handle SSO and provisioning?
Enterprise plans use SAML or OIDC through WorkOS, with directory sync for provisioning. Sandbox and pilot use a single founder-issued credential.
Start in the sandbox. Convert when the evidence is there.
