Sealed License
How to get past the public claim to the sealed material: an NDA first, then evaluation, then a license. Here's the process in plain terms.
The process
- Ask. Email [email protected] with the door (for example AFCD-1.42, an agent, or a FiiX briefing), who you are, and what you want to do.
- Mutual NDA. We send a mutual non-disclosure agreement and both sides sign it. Nothing sealed is shared before that.
- Evaluation. Where a door lists an evaluation fee (from $2,500), it buys a defined review: a data room, a blind re-run, or a briefing. If you go on to license, the fee is credited.
- Term sheet. If the evaluation works for you, we agree scope, field of use, territory, term, and price in writing.
- License. A signed license agreement sets out exactly what you receive and what you may do with it. Delivery happens only after signature and payment.
Typical license shapes
- Outcome license or agent engagement: you buy results (runs, reports, receipts) and never receive the method.
- Field license: a sealed build or service for one field of use, on your infrastructure. Listed from $15,000/yr where shown.
- Method license or exclusive: disclosure under strict terms. By quote only.
Plain-language notes
- This page explains a process. It isn't a contract, an offer, or legal advice, and it guarantees nothing about outcomes or enforceability.
- Only a document signed by both parties creates rights or obligations.
- Public claims marked unverified or validation pending stay that way until an independent check is done. Please treat them as such.
- Funding or sponsorship isn't an offer of securities. Any investment terms exist only in a separate signed agreement.
- Get your own legal advice before you sign anything.
