PRICING v4 · 2026-10-09

One fixed-price first engagement. The spec stays free.

Start with one real delivery. The Acceptance Evidence Pack is the record of one acceptance decision: the plan you and your client approved before testing, the signed acceptance report, and what you agreed about later changes, linked to the system version and test runs and sealed with independent timestamps. Anyone reviewing the decision later can see who approved what, and which result rests on which plan, and can check it offline. The open standard underneath (PRML, Community Specification License 1.0, four MIT reference implementations) is free and stays free. The Pack is one piece of evidence inside your compliance file; it does not replace your risk management, your auditors, or their opinion.

What the client or reviewer receives. The acceptance criteria, a timestamped commitment, the revision history, and a link anyone can use to check them without access to your systems. Built from the real receipts of our PREP-Eval worked example · see a full sample pack.

What the Pack does not do. It does not guarantee a passing test, and it does not certify that the result is correct. It shows which criteria were agreed, that they existed no later than the recorded time and have not changed since, and what happened when they were applied. If the scope grows (more systems, CI wiring, several acceptance rounds), we quote it in writing before any work starts.

In return for the fixed price we ask for one feedback conversation at the end. If the Pack is used in a real acceptance decision, we would like to name you and quote one sentence; a written case study is welcome but is never a condition.

Why the spec is free

The open spec answers one question: can a third party detect that the acceptance criteria were changed after the result was seen? That question is free to ask, free to answer, and free to verify. We do not gate it.

The Acceptance Evidence Pack is where we do the work with you: agreeing the record with both sides, linking it to the real test runs, and handing over something your client and your auditor can check. Pro is for teams that want that record kept in a private registry for ten years. A Sprint is for teams that need a signed written deliverable on top.

FAQ

Why no checkout? Why everything by email?

Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation, because the deliverable is written to your claims and your pipeline rather than sold off a shelf. Once a contract is agreed we invoice from Falsify OÜ (reg. 17574308, Estonia) in EUR, payable by SEPA transfer (clients outside the SEPA area can pay through any service that delivers EUR by SEPA).

Why is almost everything written?

Because the written artifact is the deliverable: detailed answers, sample Evidence Packs, and full technical detail arrive in writing so they stay citable, dateable, and re-readable when your auditor reopens the file. Alongside the written record, scheduled video calls are available at every stage (scoping, technical walkthrough, delivery Q&A), in English, at your preference; anything agreed on a call is confirmed in writing the same day.

What's the difference between Pro and a Sprint engagement?

Pro is an ongoing subscription to a hosted private registry. You log in, your team commits manifests, the platform keeps them for ten years. It is self-serve infrastructure, not an engagement: nothing about it is scoped to a person's calendar.

A Sprint is a one-off written engagement. The founder reviews your evaluation claims, writes a memo or a full technical-documentation package (Art. 11 / Annex IV), and signs the output for use with your auditors and, where your conformity route involves one, a notified body. Sprint pricing reflects scope, not volume. Every Sprint includes twelve months of Pro platform access bundled, so you do not pay twice.

How is this different from a GRC platform like Holistic AI or Credo AI?

It is not the same product. A GRC platform is a top-down dashboard that maps your AI portfolio to a hundred regulatory controls. Falsify is a bottom-up technical primitive for evaluation-claim integrity within Annex IV technical documentation (Art. 11) and Article 15: pre-committing the evaluation manifest cryptographically so retroactive edits become detectable. The two compose well. Many organisations adopting PRML will already have a GRC tool. Falsify is the thing the GRC tool's evidence field points at.

What does "early access" actually mean?

It means three things. First, Pro prices are locked in for your first contract term once signed. Second, we will work with you to shape the v0.3 spec and the Evidence Pack format, in writing. Third, early-access support target: response within two business days. Contractual service levels are set as part of a Sprint engagement.

What if the 2 December 2027 (Annex III) deadline gets pushed?

Article 99 penalties bind regardless of the politics around enforcement timing. Locked evaluation records are also sensible engineering practice independent of the AI Act. Our pricing is not premised on the deadline holding. If you want to wait and see, the Developer tier costs nothing and carries everything needed to implement and verify the standard yourself; what it does not carry is managed retention, organisational controls, or support, which is what production teams add later.

Can a notified body or audit firm use Falsify on behalf of their clients?

Yes. We are explicitly designing the Evidence Pack format with notified bodies in mind. If you are a notified body, an audit firm, or an insurance underwriter and want a technical briefing on how PRML maps to AI Act Article 9(8), Annex IV point 2(g) and ISO/IEC 42001 controls A.6.2.4 (verification and validation) and A.6.2.7 (technical documentation), email [email protected] with subject "PRML technical submission" and we will send the pass/fail vectors and schemas the same day.

Open core or open spec?

Open spec. The PRML specification, the four reference implementations, the conformance vectors, the JSON Schema, and the MLflow plugin are all permissively licensed and will stay that way. The Pro subscription adds managed infrastructure around the open specification, not proprietary format features. A Sprint engagement adds a signed written deliverable and the review behind it, not proprietary format features. Using PRML never requires a Falsify account.
