  The 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that previously occupied this file. That scaffold asserted
  Free / Professional / Enterprise tiers with 1,000 and 100,000 request quotas and per-minute
  rate limits. None of it was published by NCD, and NCD has no API to meter. It is replaced
  here by the measured result. See roadmap#35.

description: >-
  Plans and pricing for the National Council on Disability. NCD is an independent US federal
  agency funded by congressional appropriation. It sells nothing, meters nothing, and operates
  no API, so there are no plans, tiers, quotas or prices to record. Every NCD publication —
  policy reports, congressional testimony, FOIA e-Library documents, budget justifications and
  financial audits — is downloadable at no cost with no account and no key.

    status: 200
    finding: Agency funding is appropriated, not earned — the budget justifications are the closest thing NCD has to a pricing document.
