  - name: Annual Subscription Model
    description: >
      TaxNexus uses annual subscription pricing rather than per-call billing.
      Developer access is $39/yr and the IQ reporting tier is $129/yr.
      Enterprise and partner integrations are negotiated separately.

  - name: Sandbox vs Production
    description: >
      The Developer plan ($39/yr) provides a personal sandbox for testing.
      Production API access for cannabis POS and ERP integrations is handled
      through a partner or enterprise arrangement. Separating sandbox and
      production usage prevents unexpected costs during development.

  - name: Partner Program Cost Management
    description: >
      Cannabis businesses can sign up with a Taxnexus partner to have state and
      local taxes handled automatically, or use the API directly for enterprise
      self-service. Evaluating the partner route versus direct API integration
      should factor in development effort, maintenance, and per-filing costs.

  - name: Multi-Business Reporting
    description: >
      The Taxnexus IQ plan supports up to 5 business entities. Organizations
      operating more than 5 cannabis businesses should evaluate enterprise pricing
      to avoid per-plan overage costs.
