Why agents buy instead of building

Every call below costs less than the tokens your agent would burn doing the same work itself — and ours is verified, not improvised. Don't trust us, check us: the assumptions are stated, the math is yours to redo.

EndpointOur priceSelf-serve* What self-serve burnsWhat you get here
/judge-batch $0.01/series ~$0.05/series 1,000 backtests validated one-by-one in tokens: 1,000 round trips of selection math in prose, errors compounding. One call triages up to 1,000 series, survivors ranked best-first. Feeds judge-lite for the full verdict.
/judge-nano $0.01 ~$0.05 2–4k output tokens reasoning through the selection correction, with a real chance of botching the arithmetic. Deterministic pure-Python math. An LLM doing statistics in prose can hallucinate the formula; this can't.
/judge-lite $0.05 ~$0.15 Three statistical gates reasoned through in tokens, ~8–12k output. Errors compound across gates. Three gates, one call, one verdict — selection, deflated Sharpe, clustering — with killed_by reasons.
/factcheck $0.03 ~$0.35 3–4 page fetches at ~20k tokens each plus comparison reasoning. Four-figure token burn before the answer. We fetch the sources, extract cited passages, and report agreement — verdicts include insufficient_evidence.
/v1/extract $0.02 ~$0.10 One page fetch (~20k tokens) plus extraction reasoning. Three-method cross-check would be ~3x that. Three independent extraction methods cross-checked, confidence-scored, tamper-evident attestation.

* Assumptions, so you can check the math: frontier-class model (~$3/1M input, ~$15/1M output tokens), doing the work carefully — fetching, cross-checking, verifying — in a single attempt. A budget model doing a sloppy single pass costs less in tokens; what you're buying here is the verification, not just the answer.

The fleet math. A trading loop validating every backtest with judge-nano, 500 calls a day: $5/day here against ~$25/day in tokens doing it carefully yourself. That's $150/month vs ~$750/month — for math that can't hallucinate. Scale it to your loop; the ratio holds.

How to buy: no account, no key, no invoice. POST the endpoint, receive HTTP 402 with the payment requirements, pay USDC on Base (x402 v2), retry with the payment signature. Machine-readable manifest at /.well-known/x402, full specs at /shop, plaintext catalogue at /llms.txt.
