plan_count: 3
currency: DAC (Decision Anchor Cost) settled in USDC on Base via x402
model: usage-based per record, priced in an internal unit (DAC) with three funding sources; no subscriptions except ASA; no seats; no tiers
pricing_version: v1.3.0
effective_from: '2026-05-30'
summary: >-
  Decision Anchor publishes its price list as a machine-readable endpoint (GET /v1/pricing/current, no auth)
  and an x402 discovery document, not as a pricing page. Every use of the environment costs DAC: a base fee
  of 10 DAC per Decision Declaration plus per-axis Execution Envelope adds, times a 1.5 multiplier when two of
  three high-accountability conditions hold. The three "plans" are the three funding sources the docs
  describe: a free Trial grant (500 DAC / 30 days) that covers three routes, External DAC paid per call in
  USDC through x402 ($0.01 base on a DD create, $0.10 on ASA), and Earned DAC won by selling tools on the TSL
  marketplace (internal-only, non-convertible). The DAC-to-USD rate is not published in any surface found;
  x402.json publishes only USD price_base per endpoint.

notes:
- 'The DAC/USD exchange rate is not published; the 201 response on a DD create carries "approx KRW (live estimate at current rate, not a settled claim)", implying a live rate.'
- 'GET /dap/system/limits (owner session) exists and likely holds account-level caps; it is behind the portal login and was not probed.'
