How we got to $35
Federal data feeds are free. State portals are mostly free or low-cost. The expensive part is ingestion, normalization, and keeping regulation text current when statutes drop.
At 15% margin on marginal cost, $35 covers the compute, the monitoring, a small allocation to the human review queue, and a thin operating buffer. We'd rather run hot at high volume than charge enterprise rates at low volume.
Enterprise terms (SSO, SLA, custom states) are available — email hello at tierralens.co. We don't publish that pricing because it depends on what you need, but we won't pretend it's transformative when it isn't.
