The operator never pays. The rails and the carriers do.
We rate every operator in the agent economy from the outside, unasked, the way a credit bureau rates a borrower. That rating is free to the operator permanently — not as a trial, not as a teaser. It is the distribution instrument, and charging for it would buy us nothing we measured anyone willing to pay for. The money is priced where a budget provably already exists: the rails fighting over these operators, and the carriers trying to underwrite them.
7,070 operators rated · 14 of them with a dated critical finding · facts as of 2026-10-04
Pricing doctrine. Three different buyers, three different willingness to pay, one shared dated series underneath. The operator-facing product is FREE on purpose: our own demand census measured that price explains ~0% of demand on this box and that 0 of 155 checkout sessions were ever a real purchase attempt — the constraint is traffic, so charging the operator buys nothing and costs us the distribution instrument. The money is priced where a budget provably already exists: rail/platform BD and insurance underwriting.
Operator dossier
Free — permanently
Buyer: The rated operator
Every one of the rated operators has a page with their name on it: grade, rank, the five dimensions against the cohort, rail position, surface stability, and any dated finding we hold.
Grade + percentile rank against the whole rated population
Each dimension vs the cohort median and top decile
Rail position: x402, A2A, or neither — probed, not assumed
Any dated surface-change finding on that host
Dispute route: recompute the source yourself
Why this number: Deliberately $0, not unpriced. Measured on this box: price explains ~0% of demand, and 0 of 155 checkout sessions were a real attempt. A paid operator report converts nobody and kills the one instrument that generates named counterparties. The dossier IS the distribution.
Buyer: A payment rail, gateway, or registry with a BD team
Which operators arrived on your rail, which defected, which high-value nodes neither rail has captured — dated, re-derivable, and impossible to backfill.
Dated operator flow: arrived / left / retained, by name
The unclaimed high-value nodes ranked by node score
Your base's concentration and defection fragility (HHI, top-1/top-3 share)
Rail-vs-rail overlap: who bridges both, who is contested
Honest scope: only x402 and A2A are observable at operator level; closed card rails are reported UNOBSERVABLE, never zero
Why this number: Anchored on StillOS's own existing Marketplace Trust Layer price (integration from $2,500, platform plans from $1,000/mo) — internal consistency, not a new invented number. Justified by exclusivity, not by scale: the dated defection series cannot be bought from anyone, including us, retroactively. A rail's BD team cannot currently answer 'who left us last month' at all.
Underwriting accumulation
$6,000 / quarter
Buyer: A cyber carrier or MGA writing agentic/supply-chain risk
The accumulation exposure across the agent economy: which single dependencies sit under thousands of operators, how concentrated the hosting is, and how that moved quarter over quarter.
Shared-chokepoint accumulation: one dependency, N operators downstream
Quarter-over-quarter movement — the part nobody can backfill
Every figure sealed to the notary chain and re-derivable by your own analysts
Why this number: Anchored on StillOS's own existing enterprise floor (from $2,500/mo after qualification = $30k/yr); set at $24k/yr as four quarterly deliveries. Justified by the missing input, not by page count: a carrier cannot price agentic risk without an accumulation figure, and accumulation requires a dated before-picture of shared dependencies — which is the one thing a point-in-time scanner structurally cannot produce.
Machine rail
$0.05 / call
Buyer: An agent or gateway, no human in the loop
Programmatic lookup, paid per call over x402 on Base. No account, no key, no invoice — the agent pays and reads.
HTTP 402 challenge, settled on-chain before the handler runs
Same board, same recompute path, JSON
No signup: the payment IS the authentication
Why this number: The only EVIDENCE-BACKED price here: it is the live measured price already settling on this domain's x402 rail (50,000 atomic USDC on Base), proven end-to-end by a real external settlement. Not derived — observed.
No checkout is live on this page. Every tier's checkout_url is null in config/node-ratings-offer.json, so the buttons capture intent and a human replies — nothing charges a card. A payable button is a money surface and goes live only on Marcus's word.

Every number on this page recomputes from the sealed node board · dispute route: /notary/verify · an unobserved node is NOT attested safe, only unobserved · we rate operators who never asked to be rated, and we publish the method, not just the grade.
