# subscriptions.sgit.ai — a subscription is a discount, not rent

> A subscription is a discount for committing to regular use. It is not rent on
> something you have the right to ignore.

## The operating insight

The first question is not "how much did I use it?" — which most companies cannot
answer and no one can prove. It is "do you hold a record of my usage?" — which
every company can answer, is comparable across companies, concedes nothing, and
produces a publishable table on day one.

## What kind of site this is

Three things, on one domain, by decision of 24 August 2026 — with the commercial
service designed to split out later to its own property if a business partner
emerges, the riskmandate.ai / risks.sgit.ai pattern run in the other direction:

  1. THE STANDARD — five externally-checkable clauses a company can adopt this
     week, plus the same clauses re-expressed as a proposal for legislation.
  2. THE REGISTER — record, never verdict. No adjectives anywhere. Silence is a
     row, not a blank. "We do not hold that" is recorded neutrally.
  3. THE EVIDENCE — exit-path measurements needing no company's cooperation, and
     the UK legal levers, each dated with a commencement status and a named owner.

Consequences an agent can rely on:
- No register entry carries a verdict word. The pre-release gate greps every
  entry against a published blocklist and fails the build otherwise.
- No register entry is traceable to a requester. The unit of the register is a
  company's behaviour, never a person's case.
- Every legal claim carries an as-at date and a commencement status. The 2027
  regime is not in force yet; a page that omits that is treated as a leak.
- The register launches with zero entries. Five items block the first row —
  solicitor review of the publishing rule and entry one, the selection rule, the
  refusal interval, the versioned template, and the authority-capture workflow —
  and all five are published as pending rather than skipped quietly.

## Properties agents may rely on

- Every source document is fetchable at a stable constructed URL:
  /briefs/v0.33.62__subscriptions-brief-pack__<name>.md. This is a promise, not
  an accident.
- The whole site's document set is available in one fetch at /llms-full.txt, for
  agents whose fetch tools refuse URLs a search has not already returned.
- The front page has a markdown twin at /index.md (this file).

## The pages, each with its single most important fact

/index.html
  The thesis, verbatim, at the top of every page. The comparison that makes the
  register launchable this month: "do you hold a record?" beats "how much did
  you use it?" on every axis that matters — answerable, short, comparable,
  concedes nothing, produces a table on day one.

/standard/index.html — THE FIVE CLAUSES
  Each one checkable by somebody other than the company. Not a scoreboard: no
  scores exist anywhere in the design. The adopters list starts empty, honestly.

/standard/proposal/index.html — THE PROPOSAL FOR LEGISLATION
  The same five clauses re-expressed as obligations, mapped against the
  spring-2027 regime, explicitly labelled a proposal rather than an enacted text.

/register/index.html — THE REGISTER
  Zero entries at launch. The question, the entry format (no verdict field
  anywhere), the three answers with no penalty for "we don't hold it", the
  inconsistency test, and the governance the source instructs be published
  before entry one: the selection rule, the refusal interval, the template
  version, and the review process.

/exit/index.html — THE EXIT-PATH METHOD
  Built first because it needs no cooperation: click counts and routes for
  fifty companies, dated, method published so anyone can re-run it. Not yet run
  in this release — the method is published, the measurements are not faked.

/law/index.html — THE LAW
  The levers ranked, cancellation-information failures at the top. Dated 25
  August 2026, with a named owner and a commencement-status table: the 2027
  regime is NOT YET IN FORCE. The card-issuer lever is named as a perimeter
  question and excluded at launch.

/workflows/index.html — WORKFLOWS & VAULTS, THE SGIT SHOWCASE
  The March 2026 pipeline reused: statements in a vault, an agent working
  inside it, versioned and shared by token. Three vault stores with three
  different rules. The honest limit published: vaults buy portability and
  controlled sharing, not zero knowledge — an agent reading bank statements
  reads plaintext, which is why bring-your-own-model is the default.

/service/index.html — THE SERVICE (LATER)
  Thin by design. The future-commercial directory that moves at the split.

/shipped/index.html
  What this site asserts versus what it can demonstrate: built, position,
  described-from-the-corpus, proposed-and-not-built, and pending-on-a-human —
  the five blocking items named plainly rather than absorbed.

/network/index.html
  The sgit.ai network, and where this site's neighbours sit.

/documents/index.html
  The ten source documents published whole, with the raw markdown as the
  source of truth.

/admin/index.html · /admin/comms.html · /admin/versions.html
  How the site is built and gated; open work and asks back to the project lead;
  the release history.

## What this site will not tell you

- Any characterisation of a named company. Facts only — the pre-release gate
  enforces this on every register entry.
- Any client's personal or financial data, including the founder's own — the
  March workflow is the exhibit, its data never appears.
- Live hostnames, account identifiers or stack addresses.
- The card-issuer lever as an offered service, ahead of advice on the perimeter.
- Any legal claim without its as-at date and commencement status.

## The sibling sites

https://sgit.ai — the parent project: the vault layer, the CLI, the platform docs
https://risks.sgit.ai — registers, scoring, evidence — the vocabulary this
  register's design borrows
https://standards.sgit.ai — instruments as graphs; the grounding vocabulary the
  law pages point at rather than rebuild
https://nfrs.sgit.ai — the dated-page and staleness discipline this site's law
  pages are the sharpest test case for
https://open-source.sgit.ai — the standard-as-adoptable-artefact argument; the
  CC BY rationale
