Platform Architecture & Pricing Methodology
Transparent pricing based on industry-typical baseline models, conservative improvement deltas, and value-aligned subscription structures.
1. Purpose
This document provides a transparent view of Reality Anchors pricing assumptions, baseline models, and subscription structures. Its purpose is to support buyer due diligence, provide contractual stability, and establish a clear causal link between platform value delivery and subscription cost.
Pricing is not based on self-reported scrap rates or percentage-of-savings models. Instead, it references industry-typical ranges and applies conservative deltas to arrive at a modeled value from which subscription tiers are derived.
2. Baseline Model Assumptions (Scrap + Rework)
Segment classifications and baseline scrap/rework rates are modeled from industry-typical ranges. All rates are conservative mid-points intended for pricing illustration, not guaranteed outcomes.
| Segment | Scrap range | Scrap model baseline | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small commercial shop | 6–10% | 8.0% | Mid-point, conservative |
| Prefab yard | 4–7% | 5.5% | Mid-point, conservative |
| Industrial | 2–5% | 3.5% | Mid-point, conservative |
| Rework metric | Industry range | Model baseline | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fabrication remake rate (% of pieces) | 1.0–3.0% | 1.5% | Conservative benchmark midpoint |
| Blended remake cost per affected piece | $8–$40 | $20 | Material + labor + bench disruption allowance |
Contracts reference the baseline model version number for contractual stability.
3. Conservative Improvement Deltas
Improvement deltas represent modeled reduction targets for scrap and preventable rework based on structured workflow enforcement. Values are set conservatively for pricing purposes and are not guaranteed outcomes.
| Segment | Baseline | Conservative delta | Post-deployment model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small commercial shop | 8.0% | 2.0 pts | 6.0% |
| Prefab yard | 5.5% | 1.5 pts | 4.0% |
| Industrial | 3.5% | 1.0 pt | 2.5% |
| Rework metric | Baseline | Direction | Post-deployment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remake rate (% of pieces) | Industry baseline | Reduced | Lower steady-state |
| Relative improvement | — | Measurable | Tracked against your baseline |
4. Value-Aligned Subscription Structure
All tiers are priced per bench, per month. Pricing scales with execution complexity and governance requirements, keeping the value proposition clear at every level.
| Tier | Scale | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot | Single bench | Solo operators and small crews |
| Production | Multi-bench | Fabrication yards and multi-bench shops |
| Enterprise | Multi-site | High-volume plants with ERP integration |
| Device Add-Ons (per device, any tier) | ||
| Coverage Camera | Optional | Wider coverage, multi-angle capture |
| Precision Depth Device | Optional | Sub-mm precision depth |
Pricing depends on bench count, instrumentation scope, calibration governance requirements, and multi-project optimization complexity. Contact us for current rates.
5. Plan Capability Boundaries
Capabilities are designated per plan to reflect the commercial boundary for each tier. Plan labels reflect the intended scope — speak to us directly for detail on what is available in your evaluation.
