Licensing & Pricing

HIC ENGINE LICENSE

For builders who already have a product.

Drop the intelligence layer underneath your existing stack. HIC licensing covers routing, canon enforcement, format normalization, drift monitoring, and deployment-scoped engine and pipeline access.

Founding Partner

Early Production HIC

For the first production partners willing to share implementation feedback and support a real case study.

— Routing, canon enforcement, format normalization, and drift monitoring
— Deployment-scoped engine and pipeline access
— Direct founder support during the founding-partner period
— Defined usage and implementation scope

$0–$500/mo

$500–$1,500 setup

Standard

Standard HIC License

For a small or mid-sized team with a defined request volume and an existing product that needs the intelligence layer underneath it.

— Complete four-pillar HIC layer
— Agreed engine and Pipeline Composer access
— Standard service terms and usage allowance
— Fully white-labeled integration

$1,500–$5,000/mo

or $15K–$50K/yr

Enterprise

Enterprise HIC License

For higher-volume deployments that need custom routing policies, integration support, and negotiated service terms.

— Custom routing, canon, and policy configuration
— Higher-volume or dedicated deployment scope
— Integration assistance and dedicated service terms
— Negotiated roadmap and support access

$5,000–$20,000+/mo

or $50K–$250K+/yr

Usage-based alternative: negotiated per-request pricing or a 15–30% markup over raw model API cost may be available for trusted Standard or Enterprise deployments with real production volume.

Routing Engine

Task classification, best-fit model selection, and provider-agnostic routing.

Canon Enforcer

Filler removal, character consistency, and tone normalization across providers.

Format Normalizer

Consistent code, markdown, JSON, and structured outputs regardless of the model used.

Drift Monitor

Baseline tracking, anomaly detection, and deployment-specific alert thresholds.

The current HIC application configuration defines 18 engines. Licensed engine availability, usage limits, and Pipeline Composer access are set by the signed deployment scope rather than automatically granting every configuration to every licensee.

$20,000+/mo

License the core or the whole factory.
