What is not for sale
No payment moves a token up a list, into a slot, onto a page, or out of one. No payment changes a band, a score, a finding, or the wording of a finding. No payment removes a token from the record, and nothing that has been published is taken down because the project behind it paid or asked. There is no arrangement under which any of that happens, and there is no price at which it would.
What is sold
Four things, none of which is an opinion about a token.
| What | Why it is a product |
|---|---|
| Access | Programmatic use of the scanner — the API and the machine interfaces. Reading this site in a browser stays free. |
| Freshness | Results as they are computed, rather than after the lag the free download runs on. The record is the same record; the waiting is what is paid for. |
| Records | Full reports, and the filing-grade evidence package for one incident. What is in them is what the evidence said. |
| Integration | Alerts, feeds and the work of connecting this to something else. |
Why the free file is six columns and a week behind
The open dataset publishes what we said and when we said it, which is the only form of our accuracy claim that can be tested by somebody who does not trust us. It does not publish the score, the model version, or the checks behind the band. Taken one row at a time those are a record; taken as a whole nightly file they are a labelled corpus of our scoring behaviour, and handing that over is handing over the years of work behind it.
So: reading the record is free and always will be. Having it fresh, and having the working behind it, is what there is a price for. The open dataset page states the columns and the lag next to the download.
What was retired to keep this true
Promoted listings, sponsored placements and featured campaigns were withdrawn on 14 September 2026 and can no longer be bought. They were labelled, they were refused to tokens the engine flagged as high risk, and they still do not belong on a site whose entire claim is that placement cannot be bought. A reader should not have to trust a label to know that. Existing campaigns are being seen out; nothing new can be created.
