Meridian — Paid Founder Pilot

Who This Is For

Buyer	Product Marketing Managers, Competitive Intelligence leads, or Product Managers at B2B software and AI-native companies who need to track what competitors ship, price, and launch.
Team size	1–3 admin seats + unlimited internal readers (forward the brief to your team).
Best fit	Teams that track 3–10 competitors in the AI/ML infrastructure space and need recurring, cited updates without manual research overhead.

Why this pilot exists:

Meridian is a constitutional operating system for managed digital labor. The open kernel contributes the governance boundary, the platform composes Commitment above it, and competitor intelligence is the first managed vertical running on that stack. The honest sellable offer right now is a bounded paid founder pilot: same governed workflow and source discipline, but one simple checkout path instead of vague by-arrangement promises.

What Is Included

Deliverable	Cadence	Format
Daily Competitor Alert	Agreed cadence during the current pilot	Cited findings (400+ words, 5+ sources) covering pricing, launches, API changes, deprecations
Weekly Intelligence Brief	End of each week	Curated top competitive moves with action items and risk signals
Battlecard (on request)	On demand	Structured competitor snapshot: recent moves, pricing, product updates, talking points
Competitor Watchlist	Configured during onboarding	Set per customer. The same watchlist becomes an automated monitor again once Meridian reaches treasury-cleared automation through the right phase progression.

How You Receive It

Primary channel	Email or Telegram — activation runs automatically after verified Base USDC capture. Email is the safe default; Telegram delivery is used when a real delivery target is available.
Public preview	@MeridianIntelligence Telegram channel (abbreviated preview when a fresh brief is worth posting).
Developer API	MCP protocol at `https://app.welliam.codes/sse`. The host now advertises bounded `base_usdc_x402` readiness and publishes public proof routes such as `/api/kernel-proof-bundle`; external-customer checkout proof is still pending.
Email	Live as a bounded delivery lane for activated subscriptions on this host.
Slack	Planned. Not yet available.

Pricing

Paid founder pilot	$49 one time for 7 days. Scope your competitors, activate the pilot after verified Base USDC payment, and receive bounded delivery on this host.
Paid continuation	By arrangement after the pilot proves useful. Weekly or monthly structure can still be agreed explicitly once the output is useful enough to keep going.
MCP pay-per-call	$0.50 (daily alert), $1.50 (weekly digest), $3.00 (battlecard). x402-capable pricing with bounded host readiness and kernel reference proof; external-customer settlement remains unproven.
Custom / enterprise	Contact us for custom watchlists, dedicated sources, or higher-volume access.

What Is Automated vs. Manual

Capability	Status	Detail
Source monitoring (30+ sources)	Treasury-gated	Implemented and proven in prior qualified runs, but current nightly execution remains paused by constitutional preflight.
Finding extraction and deduplication	Treasury-gated	Implemented in the governed pipeline, but not running nightly until treasury policy allows it again.
Alert writing	Treasury-gated	Implemented and previously exercised; current customer path uses founder-led delivery rather than claiming this automation ran tonight.
Quality assurance	Treasury-gated	Multi-agent QA remains part of the governed workflow design, but nightly execution is paused until preflight clears.
Paid pilot activation and delivery	Live on host	After verified Base USDC capture, Meridian activates the pilot, queues Loom delivery, and dispatches through the configured channel honestly.
Bounded Telegram delivery route	Live on host	The Meridian host can deliver through Telegram today. What remains bounded is the broad customer automation promise; the pilot offer still stays founder-led until treasury-cleared phase progression supports wider automation honestly.
Watchlist setup	Manual	We configure your competitor watchlist during onboarding. Changes on request.
Battlecard requests	Manual	Request a battlecard for any tracked competitor. Delivered within 24 hours during the pilot.
Custom source addition	Manual	Add competitor-specific URLs (e.g., a startup's changelog) to monitoring. Setup within 24 hours.
Slack delivery	Planned	Not yet available. Email and Telegram are the live bounded delivery channels for this pilot.
CRM / Notion writeback	Planned	Not yet available. Under development.

What We Monitor

30+ sources across these categories:

Provider blogs & docs: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Mistral, Meta, DeepSeek
Pricing & changelog pages: Direct monitoring of API pricing, changelogs, deprecation notices
Tech aggregators: TechCrunch, VentureBeat, The Verge
Technical: HuggingFace, arXiv, transparency reports
Community: Hacker News
Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, GCP
Frameworks: LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Vercel AI SDK

Custom sources can be added for your tracked competitors during onboarding.

Current Payment Status

What blocks normal scaled delivery today:

Scaled automation gate: Treasury is above the reserve floor today, but only with thin headroom, and the broader nightly/customer-wide automation path is still phase-gated and preflight-gated instead of being marketed as always-on.
Main checkout rail: Card, PayPal, and bot-native recurring billing are not live. The live public rail is exact-amount USDC on Base with tx-hash capture.
MCP x402 payments: The host now publishes bounded base_usdc_x402 readiness and the kernel reference bundle at /api/kernel-proof-bundle includes an external settlement adapter run, but external-customer checkout proof is still pending.

Current honest path: Buy the 7-day founder pilot through the live Base USDC capture flow below. Bank transfer, Wise, and manual exceptions stay secondary fallback paths, not the main public funnel.

Want to back Meridian without starting a pilot?

Use the separate Support Meridian path if your intent is to support the kernel, infra, or founder time. Support is deliberately kept separate from pilot evaluation and customer revenue.

What the Pilot Proves

That recurring competitor monitoring saves your team research hours every week.
That cited, dated findings are more trustworthy than ad-hoc Googling or generic newsletters.
That battlecard-ready output accelerates your sales enablement and exec briefing workflows.
That your team will actually read and use the output before you commit to paid continuation.
That the governed automated pipeline is worth funding back into active daily operation.

Start

Start with one paid offer only. Step 1 publishes a preview and exact payment instructions. Step 2 captures a verified Base USDC payment and activates delivery on this host.
