Monetization

The CLI is and stays free. Monetization comes later, from team-scale features built on top of the same proof artifact. Nothing here is live yet — all hosted pieces require explicit approval before being built.

Path

  1. Free CLI (now)

    • npx ambient-build-proof. Zero dependencies, no account, no API key.
    • Goal: become the default tool coding agents reach for. Adoption first.

  2. GitHub Action (future)

    • Drop-in CI step that runs the proof and posts the report on PRs.
    • Free for open source. See docs/GITHUB_ACTION_FUTURE.md.

  3. GitHub App (future)

    • Installable check that gates merges on proof and stores history.
    • Free tier + paid tiers for private orgs.

  4. Hosted proof dashboard (future)

    • Web view of proof reports across repos and over time.

  5. Paid team build-proof history (future)

    • Retained, searchable proof history; trends, flake detection, audit trail.
    • The primary paid product. Per-seat or per-org.

Placeholders (to wire up later, with approval)

  • 💛 GitHub Sponsors: GitHub Sponsors link pending.
  • 🚀 Pro dashboard waitlist: Pro waitlist pending.

Principles

  • The core CLI never becomes paid, never requires an account, never phones home.
  • Paid value is retention, collaboration, and history — not gating the basic ability to prove a build locally.
  • No telemetry without explicit, opt-in consent.
