# Passport.Me Tokenomics + Pricing Model (Draft v1)

## 1. Design Principles
- `Utility-first`: MDT is consumed for measurable context value.
- `Transparent`: users see estimated MDT cost before execution.
- `Predictable`: blended monthly cost remains understandable.
- `Aligned`: users pay for successful context outcomes, not idle capacity.

## 2. MDT Utility Units
- Context Pull (CP): `read scoped data for one run`
- Skill Execution (SE): `execute one skill with context`
- Premium Sync Cycle (PSC): `high-frequency connector refresh`

### Suggested base weights
- `1 CP = 1.0 MDT`
- `1 SE = 0.5 MDT` (or bundled into CP for simple plans)
- `1 PSC = 0.3 MDT`

## 3. Consumption Formula (example)
`MDT per run = ConnectorWeight x DataDepth x SkillComplexity x RiskMultiplier`

Example weights:
- ConnectorWeight:
  - email `1.0`
  - calendar `0.8`
  - banking `1.6`
  - fitness `0.7`
- DataDepth:
  - last 7 days `0.6`
  - last 30 days `1.0`
  - last 90 days `1.8`
- SkillComplexity:
  - summarize `0.8`
  - report/aggregation `1.2`
  - anomaly + recommendations `1.5`
- RiskMultiplier:
  - low `1.0`
  - medium `1.1`
  - high-sensitivity `1.25`

## 4. Sample Run Costs
- Expense report (email, 30d, report):
  - `1.0 x 1.0 x 1.2 x 1.0 = 1.2 MDT`
- Subscription optimizer (banking, 90d, anomaly):
  - `1.6 x 1.8 x 1.5 x 1.1 = 4.75 MDT`
- Weekly brief (calendar+email blended equivalent):
  - `~2.1 MDT`

## 5. Pricing Tiers (USD + MDT)
## Free
- Price: `$0/month`
- Includes:
  - 2 connectors
  - 30 MDT monthly trial allowance
  - basic skills only

## Pro
- Price: `$24/month`
- Includes:
  - 6 connectors
  - 200 MDT included
  - Additional MDT purchase allowed
  - export receipts / audit trail

## Team
- Price: `$99/month` (up to 5 users)
- Includes:
  - shared policies
  - 1,200 MDT included
  - admin dashboards
  - SSO-lite / role controls

## Enterprise
- Custom contract
- Includes:
  - private deployment options
  - advanced governance and data residency
  - negotiated MDT floor + volume terms

## 6. MDT Top-Up Pricing (illustrative)
- 100 MDT pack: `$12`
- 500 MDT pack: `$50`
- 2,000 MDT pack: `$180`

Implied unit price declines with volume (`$0.12 -> $0.09 per MDT`).

## 7. Example User Economics
### Pro user profile (illustrative)
- 40 skill runs/month
- average 2.2 MDT/run
- monthly need: `88 MDT`
- covered by included 200 MDT
- effective marginal cost to user: `$0` beyond subscription

### Heavy Pro user
- 140 runs/month x 2.5 MDT = `350 MDT`
- included: 200 MDT
- top-up: 150 MDT (~$18 using 100 + prorated)
- total spend: `$42/month`

## 8. Gross Margin Lens (illustrative)
Assume infra + model + connector cost equivalent = `$0.028 per MDT consumed`
- 100 MDT pack revenue `$12`, cost `$2.8`, gross margin `76.7%`
- 500 MDT pack revenue `$50`, cost `$14`, gross margin `72%`
- 2,000 MDT pack revenue `$180`, cost `$56`, gross margin `68.9%`

## 9. Token Policy Recommendations
- Keep user-facing billing in fiat and MDT balance together.
- Auto-convert fiat subscription into MDT allowance internally.
- Expose user receipt with:
  - connectors queried
  - MDT consumed
  - timestamp and run id
- Add guardrails:
  - per-run hard cap
  - monthly spend threshold alerts

## 10. KPI Dashboard (must-track)
- `MDT/run` by skill and connector
- `Success rate` (user accepts output)
- `Cost-to-value ratio` (`MDT spent / hours saved`)
- `Top-up conversion` rate
- `Retention` by monthly MDT consumption band

## 11. Pilot Recommendation (first 60 days)
- Launch with Free + Pro only.
- Fix run pricing bands to 3 buckets:
  - Light `1 MDT`
  - Standard `2 MDT`
  - Deep `4 MDT`
- Collect real usage distribution, then move to weighted formula v2.
