Early access
Free during early access. Later you pay per answer: a quick take (pick + one line, about 30 seconds) from 30p a person. Longer feedback and expert views cost more.
Launch example 20 quick takes ≈ £6.50
The sandbox is free whatever happens to pricing, and sandbox keys are never charged.

Plus 50p per question for screening and the summary. These are launch examples. Early access is free on both sides.

- A signed receipt for every answer.
