Query licenses Live
Per-listing query budget grants
Some packets are sold as query licenses rather than file downloads. The license grants a budget of dollar-cents and an optional cap on call count.
What a query license carries
- An org and a listing — every license is scoped.
- A budget in dollar-cents and a spent counter; the license stops accruing answers when the budget is drained.
- An optional
max_callsand a calls-used counter. - A query class — STANDARD, BURST, ENTERPRISE_DEDICATED, TRIAL.
- A start and optional end window.
Stub verifier today; live verifier planned
At this stage STUB_VERIFIER answers every call with a deterministic, bounded answer. The answer hash + cited-source count + listing id are recorded in an answer receipt. The live LLM verifier is gated by an explicit feature flag, default off, and requires a separate locked decision before flipping on.
Append-only per-call audit
Every call writes a row in query_calls with the cost in dollar-cents, the answer hash, the verifier kind, and the cited-source count. The table is strict append-only — neither the service layer nor the operator can mutate or delete an audited call.
