Verifiable provenance
Every result carries an Ed25519-signed receipt and government-source citations you can verify.

Run the numbers

See how little real, verified data costs — and how far it takes you.

Two ways to buy

Most buyers pay per query — from $0.01, with Stripe, no subscription. Exclusive buyouts are a separate, optional tier for the rare buyer who wants a dataset locked to them alone. Compare both below.

What data is it?

Premium

Years of how a real operation runs — almost nobody else can sell this.

Years of history7 yrs

Depth is the biggest multiplier — a 20-year record is rare and worth far more than a snapshot.

License you want

Pay per query like everyone else — the cheapest way in.

Verified & signed

Cryptographically signed provenance

A valid signature verifies the signer and integrity of the signed fields; value still depends on buyer requirements, permitted uses, and independently assessed quality.

The math that makes buyers smile

$1.2M + years

Buy it per query

$5.36 / query

You don't need to own the mine to walk out with the gold. Pull exactly the data you need, per query, for a rounding error — and pour the $1.2M you didn't burn building it straight into shipping. That gap is how empires get built on someone else's data.

Tier 1 · Pay per query — how most buyers buy

$5.36 / query

≈ $6,438 / mo at typical agent volume

Real, verified data · pay simply with Stripe

Tier 2 · Exclusive buyout — optionalPotential

$113K–$260K

For the rare buyer who wants it locked: make an exclusive offer and rivals never touch it. Most buyers never need this tier.

The rarer, deeper, and more verified it is, the higher this climbs.

The first-mover advantage

When the same data is sold openly, the price drops as more buyers pile in — and so does your edge. Be first and you act on signal no rival has yet; wait for the discount and you’re building on the same data as everyone else who waited. To keep rivals out entirely, lock it with the exclusive acquisition above.

Be first — full edgeCommoditized — no edge

Bars = price to acquire at each buyer position · % = competitive edge left if you’re that buyer.

Buy now — be first

$243K

Full first-mover edge · freshest signal · move before rivals even know it exists.

Wait for the discount

$3.6K

Cheaper — but every rival who waited holds it too, and it may be stale for fast-moving work.

If speed of information is your edge, first is the only seat that matters.

Illustrative open-market prices — actual cost is set by live demand, not guaranteed.

Illustrative example — not historical earnings. No income guarantee. Real prices are set by live demand and the floor you choose. The per-query rate is the live model (per-query, paid simply via Stripe); exclusive-license figures show the potential for rare, verified, in-demand data. This tool models pricing scenarios, not current marketplace volume — the market is early-stage, and actual live transaction figures for the underlying marketplace are published at verticalmarketplace.ai/disclosures.

Each filing contains multiple independent claim families, including implementations not described on this page.

This portfolio is actively prosecuted before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Priority dates are locked as of each filing's date of record with the USPTO; a later-filed workaround cannot antedate them. Claim structure, mechanisms, and embodiment details are deliberately not published.
