Pricing & Jurisdictional Licence
Per-stream pricing (summary)
- S1 Own credits — carbon (protected ~$2–5/t, higher-risk ~$10–18/t high-integrity) + biodiversity (conservative); CeibaQ keeps 40% after communities/holding.
- S2 Monitoring — per-hectare subscription (minimum floor + regressive per-ha) + 5–15% of clients' credits.
- S3 Jurisdictional — per-hectare tiers, below.
- S4 Data-only — enterprise licence $30–250k/seat/yr.
- S5 Royalty — ~2% of ROOT-verified credit issuance.
Jurisdictional licence — per-hectare tiers
Priced on forest hectares, regressive (large jurisdictions pay less per ha), each including a sampled drone overflight (~5% stratified) that satellites can't replicate:
| Tier (forest ha) | $/ha/yr | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Large (>15M) | $0.10 | Loreto 35M → ~$3.5M/yr |
| Medium (3–15M) | $0.30 | Ucayali 9.5M → ~$2.85M/yr |
| Small (<3M) | $0.75 | San Martín 3.3M → ~$1.0M/yr |
| Pilot / lighthouse | $2–3.5 | high-touch first deals |
| (plus a fixed platform fee per jurisdiction) |
Who pays (critical)
Not regional treasuries — donors / MDBs / results-based funders (PROFONANPE, World Bank FCPF, IDB FIP, GEF, ART/TREES, Article 6.2 buyers). The state is the customer-of-record; a climate-finance line item pays.
Total addressable (jurisdictional stream alone)
The full Amazon = ~44 subnational jurisdictions, ~600M forest ha → a ~$117M/yr theoretical ceiling at list tiers (Brazil's mega-states dominate). Realistic near-term: a handful of donor-funded anchor jurisdictions (~$5–15M/yr ARR).
