Contributors never pay. Companies pay for access.

Proof has two structurally different use cases with two different commercial relationships. The contributor side is free, forever, by contract, not by policy. The commercial layer sits above the data, never inside it.

Commitment

"Proof does not sell the dataset. Proof sells the trust and infrastructure that make the dataset decision-grade."

Contributors: farmers, agronomists, advisers, researchers

Free

For every approved contributor, regardless of affiliation. In perpetuity.

By contract, not by policyThe free-forever commitment is structural. It survives change of control. Proof does not sell data to contributors.

No credit cardNo trial periodNo paywallNo adsNo data resale to contributors

Proof is financially sustained by the companies that benefit from independent, decision-grade evidence, not by the people producing it. Proof does not sell the dataset. Proof sells the trust and infrastructure that make the dataset decision-grade.

Companies, manufacturers, institutions

Four commercial layers sit above the data.

Companies pay for analytical depth, attestation marks, infrastructure integration, and institutional partnerships. Individual contributors are never charged, regardless of their employer's relationship with Proof.Notably absent: contributor paywalls, freemium gates, data resale to farmers, advertising.

01 · Attestation

Proof Recorded / Proof Attested mark.

Attestation marks applied to products, trials, or grain passports, backed by the underlying records. Per-use or annual licence.

Who paysManufacturers, assurance schemes

02 · Analytics

Company-grade analytics and cohort queries.

Ad-hoc filters, cohort dashboards, time-series, exports, and multi-variable queries. Paid seat or cohort licence, scoped to the entity not the individual.

Who paysDistributors, merchants, food companies

03 · Infrastructure

API access and embedded attestation.

Supply-chain integration, embedded attestation in grain trade workflows, API access for downstream systems. Priced by scope and volume.

Who paysSupply-chain operators, grain trade

04 · Research

Formal partnerships and cohort studies.

Founding Data Partnerships with levy bodies and research institutions. Grant-funded collaboration. Not a primary revenue stream, but structurally important.

Who paysResearch bodies, institutions

The contributor-tier use case (a farmer checking variety performance) and the company-tier use case (a manufacturer running market intelligence queries) are structurally different tools. Different depth, different frequency, different workflow. Same underlying dataset. Different layers of access.

Join the cohort

The contributor side will always be free. The data layer will always be neutral.

Both commitments are structural, not policy. The architecture, the contracts, and the governance are what make them permanent.
