The ladder

The pipeline that pulls a buyer deeper. Each rung shows the price (edit on the right). Movement rules are enforced below.

Rules: Monitor requires at least a Scan (Scan→Monitor or Audit→Monitor). Protect is an add-on, sold only with Monitor, never alone. Enterprise and the legal wedge sit on top.

How one client climbs to $25K/yr

The pipeline in time. A buyer starts at a small one-time scan, then the recurring value builds as they move into audit, monitor, and protect. Monitor and protect are usage-based, so spend grows as they put more surfaces under coverage.

Revenue from 100 scan entries

Where the money sits once a cohort of 100 entry scans settles into its tiers.

Pipeline economics (per 100 scans)

Prices (edit to score the tiers)

Seeded from your Pricing Canon. Monitor, Protect, and the Audit/cert tier are the ones you had not set; these are justified starting points.

Monitor and Protect entered monthly; the ladder and economics annualize them. They are usage-based: an account covering more surfaces pays a multiple, and cost-to-serve scales with it so margin holds. Protect default is ~50% of Monitor, the premium for active protection plus liability reduction.
