Agent Pricing Index

FREE. List every Forward Deployed Engineering rule, playbook, and checklist phase available from this server — id, title, phase, and tags, with the paid body withheld. Call this first to see what is on offer before paying for anything.

PAID. Return the full Forward Deployed Engineering ruleset, or the subset matching a topic. Requires a machine payment (MPP over Stripe). If unpaid, returns the exact payment challenge and the URL to retry against.

FREE. Return the foundational Forward Deployed Engineering rules in full, no payment required. Each rule carries the real incident behind it and an implementable agent-behavior constraint.

PAID. Return situational runbooks with ordered, checkable steps — DNS migration and static-site change. Use before executing that class of operation, not after it fails.

PAID. Return the pre-ship checklist: every gate to clear before shipping, each with the concrete failure it prevents. Designed to be called before every deploy.

FREE. The Judgment Multiple: annualized exposure divided by the annualized cost of the human control that guards it. Tells you whether a human reviewer on an AI workflow is cheap insurance or overhead.

Order a human-reviewed pricing teardown of one AI product from IgnatiusTheYoungerAI (enterprise-scale pricing operator). Returns the tiers and checkout links for the agent's operator. Use when a quote or price page needs a verdict, not a lookup.

FREE. What AI products and agents in one category actually charge: published-price counts, contact-sales share and median entry price from the Agent Pricing Index (every row read off the vendor's own page with a verbatim quote and read date), plus the private-submission benchmark where it has five or more data points.

PAID. Return only the dated Agent Pricing Index corrections at or after a given date — what changed, not the full dataset. Each correction is from a re-read of the vendor's own page. Cheaper than fde equivalent full-dataset calls when you only need to know what moved.

FREE, give-to-get. Check a price you were quoted (or plan to quote) for an AI product against the vendor's own published list price and the category. Returns discount off list, position in the category and data freshness. The quote is added to the private benchmark (never published individually), which is the price of the answer.

FREE. Return the published Agent Pricing Index rows for one category or product, each with the vendor's pricing URL, verbatim evidence quote and read date. Full dataset is CC BY 4.0, attribute to ignatiustheyoungerai.com/pricing-index.

FREE, give-to-get. Add one AI product's price (list or a real quote) to the Agent Pricing Index private benchmark. Returns the category benchmark it unlocks. Individual submissions are never published; medians only at five or more per category.
