pricing · three routes
Three ways to work with Aegus.
PATH is free. MCP Toolkit is per-call, gated rollout. Bespoke engagements are quote-based. One reasoning framework behind all three — the Institute.
PATH
Paper mode · connect wallet · no card
Open the PATH app. Watch the Institute run on our own capital — BTC, SOL, tokenized gold, Solana memecoins. Every trade carries its reasoning chain: grade, thesis, sources, dissent. Live capital engages only after paper WR holds.
- No account creation. Connect a Solana wallet.
- Every trade reasoning-chain explorable.
- Grade, thesis, dissent surfaced per position.
- Paper-mode default. Live gated on sustained WR.
MCP Toolkit
Gated rollout · quota-based · contact for access
Call the Institute grading framework from Claude, ChatGPT, or your own agents. Same reasoning engine PATH uses internally, exposed as callable tools — grade_token, grade_wallet, grade_narrative. Your quants keep their stack; Aegus is the graded intel layer.
- Callable from Claude / ChatGPT / any MCP client.
- Credentialed access + per-call quota.
- Evidence chain + dissent returned per call.
- Priority on new grader domains for early partners.
Bespoke engagements
Retainer · project · per-report
Token-intel reports, wallet clustering, narrative heat monitoring, Voice Agent deployment, Capture + Clip content, Recovery · Replica · Forge builds. Quote-based because Institute-graded work doesn't fit a fixed SKU — the scope is your gap, not our menu.
- Typical shapes: 4-week project, 3-month retainer, or per-report.
- Token-intel, wallet clustering, narrative heat — flagship deliverables.
- Voice Agent, Content AI, Web Agency — service-line engagements.
- Every output graded; evidence chain is the deliverable shape.
Why bespoke engagements are quote-based.
The gap sets the price, not a tier.
An OTC desk clearing size on a four-hour window has a different problem than a media agency researching a narrative. Fixed tiers would undercharge one and overcharge the other. We scope to the gap.
Evidence chain is expensive.
Every grade carries source list, weight per source, confidence interval, and dissent. This is slower than a sentiment score — and it is what makes the output defensible. The price reflects the rigor.
Outcome-weighted billing exists.
For some engagements we offer an outcome-weighted fee — smaller retainer, upside on graded claims that back out against live data. Ask about it when you scope.
No discovery-call maze.
Tell us the desk, the mandate, and the gap you are trying to close. We reply with a scoped proposal — not a deck, not a dance.
Questions we get often.
Is PATH really free?
Yes. Paper mode runs on our capital; you connect a wallet to see live behavior. There is no card, no trial, no drip-to-paywall. Live trading engages only when Institute-graded paper WR sustains — the frame is product-as-proof, not funnel-to-SKU.
Why no dollar figures on MCP or Bespoke?
Aegus is in active development. We don't post prices we can't honor across weekly-changing shapes. MCP toolkit is in gated rollout. Bespoke engagements are scoped in conversation.
Do you serve retail or small businesses?
Aegus fits businesses making consequential decisions on noisy data — teams that need reasoning chains, not just outputs. Core lanes: crypto-native finance, media agencies, research desks, compliance-heavy operators. Outside those? Start with PATH — same Institute underneath.
How do I evaluate whether this works before committing?
Three ways. (1) Read the BONK sample token-intel report on /for-businesses/sample. (2) Watch PATH run on paper. (3) Start a narrow MCP evaluation — one grader domain, one quota tier — and measure the evidence chain against your own workflow.
Start where it fits.
Open PATH
Watch the Institute grade in real time. Paper mode, our capital, your wallet read-only.
Evaluate the MCP
Read the toolkit specs, then request a gated-rollout credential for one grader domain.
Scope a bespoke engagement
Token-intel, wallet clustering, narrative heat, or custom build. Scoped proposal — no discovery-call maze.
