Protocol access

One protocol. Four levels of infrastructure.

AGTS is a governance protocol, not a service. ObligationSign operates the clearinghouse infrastructure — shared or dedicated — that makes the protocol production-ready. Every tier writes to the same cryptographic log. The difference is in verification infrastructure, conformance level, and who operates the nodes.

L1 / L2 — self-service online L3 / L4 — node deployment
L1 + L2 — fully self-service

Register online in seconds. No sales contact, no approval, no human in the loop. L2 is pure pay-as-you-govern — billed per governance event by risk tier, no monthly fee, no minimum commitment.

L3 + L4 — dedicated node deployment

Requires your own transparency log node, dedicated validator quorum, or cross-institution mesh. Contact us to provision infrastructure — this is an engineering process, not a sales process.

The full AGTS protocol in one registration. Trial events are cryptographically identical to production — admitted to the same shared log, with the same Merkle tree, the same inclusion proofs. This is not a sandbox.

L2 – Pay-as-you-govern

Per governance event · risk-tiered

€0.08–€0.50/event

billed by risk classification · no monthly fee · no minimum commitment

Register online and govern immediately. Every governance assessment is billed by risk tier — low-risk automation at €0.08, medium-risk decisions at €0.25, high-stakes or regulated decisions at €0.50. The external 3-of-4 validator quorum and full compliance export are activated on registration. The Sovereign Authority signature is applied by the ObligationSign platform — no hardware device required from you.

L2 rate card

Every governance event is classified into one of three risk tiers by the Protocol Worker — based on the submitted H (entropy), C (compliance), and E (energy) observables. You are billed for what you govern, nothing more. There is no monthly fee, no minimum spend, and no expiry.

Risk tier Per event Typical AI risk profile Example use case
Low€0.08H ≥ 0.70 · C ≥ 0.70 · E ≤ 0.30Routine automation, narrow-scope decisions, low-stakes outputs
Medium€0.25H ≥ 0.40 · C ≥ 0.40 · E ≤ 0.60Consequential decisions, multi-system dependencies, regulatory adjacency
High€0.50Scores at or near thresholdSafety-critical, regulated, or high-stakes AI decisions

Risk classification is computed server-side and is not configurable by the caller. The Protocol Worker applies fixed thresholds: Hmin = 0.40, Cmin = 0.40, Emax = 0.60. Assessments that do not reach quorum are not billed.
