Per-Deed Economics

Here’s where the eight lines compose into one number. This is a worked example — a sample run, not a metered production feed — so you can see how the math actually adds up.

Sample deed (Pain in the Shed Episode 001 · sample run):

Input	Cost USD
Compute	0.1200
Human review	26.6667
Validator pass	0.0006
Storage	0.0005
Energy	0.0045
Retries	0.1000
Repair	0.0200
Deed issuance	0.0003
Total	26.91

Human review dominates · honest output · not every artifact beats hyperscaler on raw cost · some beat them on provenance · which is the real moat. Print the number that doesn’t flatter you and the whole table earns trust.

Sample, not a live feed

This is a SAMPLE worked example for the cost-of-intelligence vision — illustrative figures showing how the eight components compose, not metered billing from a live run.

A per-episode public cost-to-mint ledger (cumulative running totals published for transparency) and the “deed issuance” anchoring line are roadmap, not a deployed feed. Today’s live artifact is the DefendableCloud hash-chained verdict receipt, which proves what passed the rulebook — not an itemized economics breakdown.
