Unit economics
Compute stays in your VPC; TrustPlane does not resell inference. Revenue scales with outcomes via Certified Writes (Action Certificates minted on promotion/writes) and an optional % of model spend only when TrustPlane proxies inference.
Definitions
- Certified Write: a write that minted an Action Certificate and passed policy gates.
- $ / Certified Write: customer price for each certificate-verified write (sold in 10k+ prepaid blocks).
- COGS: software + support; no model compute resale.
Illustrative math
Example team - Certified Writes / mo: 1,000,000 - Price: $0.12 per Certified Write (sold as 10k blocks) - Revenue: $120,000 / mo - Variable costs: $18,000 / mo (support, infra mgmt, on-call) - Gross margin: ~85% (software model; no compute resale)
Numbers are illustrative; actual pricing and margins vary by scale & contract.
KPIs to monitor
- Certified Writes / day
- % of total writes governed
- $ per Certified Write (by team & workflow)
- Budget adherence (month‑to‑date)
- SLO attainment (p95 latency, availability)
- Audit coverage (per‑action lineage exported)
