  LVL LTD sells access three ways, all priced in USD and settled in USDC on Base over x402 unless stated:
  (1) one-time sealed-pack unlocks per skill, perpetual, from $0.002 to a stated live list cap of $0.99
  (250 skills; catalog median $0.99, mean $0.87, list sum $217.03; the $0.05 canary is the intended first
  purchase); (2) six recurring plans read from /api/subscribe — three Catalog Live tiers that give live
  MCP access plus metered tool calls, an Update Pass, a renewing bundle, and a default pay-per-use meter;
  (3) $0.99 bundles that unlock several skills for one payment. One product ("Quiet Close", a $19 digital
  file) is sold by card through Stripe and is not an API product. One-time unlocks are never revoked by a
  subscription lapse; every recurring plan cancels in one POST.

notes:
- 'catalog_basis in /api/subscribe: skill_count 250, list_sum_usd 217.03, median 0.99, mean 0.87, flagship_max 0.99 (generated 2026-09-16).'
- '/docs/X402-UNLOCK.md still quotes $24.99 for seller-agent / buyer-agent / generational-agent; SKILL.md warns "do not advertise $49 while 402 is 990000" — the live 402 challenge, not any document, is the price of record.'
- Gas (ETH on Base) is the buyer's cost and is not part of any price.
