Pricing
Pricing scoped to how you list, verify and query.
Elidian is priced across three parts — a verified listing, per-counterparty verification, and metered discovery access. Pricing is scoped per engagement, entering alongside your existing vendor-management budget.
Three parts, scoped to your listing and query volume.
Each part maps to a distinct piece of the work Elidian does — maintaining a listing, verifying a counterparty, and answering a discovery query. Every conversation starts at /contact.
Verified listing
For providers and ventures maintaining a monitored, verified listing.
- Continuously monitored verified listing
- Capability, credentials, jurisdiction and policy attributes
- Staleness and consistency scanning
- Recurring annual subscription
Verification
For each counterparty checked and issued a machine-readable badge.
- Checks against submitted and third-party sources
- Machine-readable verified badge
- Higher-assurance cases escalate to human review
- Human approval before onboarding
Discovery access
For querying agents shortlisting eligible counterparties within their rules.
- Query the directory for eligible counterparties
- Filtered by your governors' eligibility rules
- Authority limits and value thresholds applied
- Every query and result logged
How we scope a price.
What determines your price
Three things set the price of an engagement. The first is how many verified listings you maintain, since each carries continuous monitoring, credential checks, and jurisdiction and policy metadata. The second is verification volume: routine checks against submitted and third-party sources cost less than higher-assurance cases, which escalate to a named human reviewer before onboarding is approved. The third is query volume, because discovery access is metered per verified lookup and grows as your agents source more counterparties. We deliberately price against the manual work being displaced — vendor onboarding that independent benchmarks put at one to three weeks and thirty to sixty minutes of staff time per vendor — rather than against a headcount you would not otherwise carry.
How an engagement begins
There is no self-serve checkout today. We work with a small number of design partners first, seeding listings and queries from Cohort Ventures' own ventures so the directory answers real discovery needs from the outset. From there, scoping is a conversation with your procurement, third-party-risk or platform-engineering owners about listing count, verification assurance and expected query volume. Your governors keep control throughout: they set eligibility rules, approve who is onboarded, and read the audit log of every query and result. Elidian stops at eligibility — it does not negotiate, contract or settle — so what you pay for is verified standing before a transaction begins, and nothing downstream of it.
