Commercial model under validation

Readiness first. Coverage after the workflow is proven.

Trace is testing a staged commercial model: map a bounded workflow, rehearse it using synthetic data and discuss ongoing coverage only when the evidence supports it.

Commercial boundary

These are testable price signals, not a checkout.

No production availability is implied. Any paid work can begin only after Trace confirms fit and delivery capacity and the parties agree scope, roles, security, data handling, timing and terms in writing.

Three-stage model

The commercial sequence follows operational certainty.

The Readiness Sprint is open for design-partner discussions. Everything after it remains planned.

01
Open for design-partner discussions

Readiness Sprint

Target €2,500 one-time

Map up to three systems and rehearse one synthetic request.

Explore the Readiness Sprint
02
Planned

Privacy Operations Coverage

Expected from €750 per month

Maintained source map, monitored readiness, periodic tests and reserved operational capacity.

03
Planned

Standard request preparation

Expected €750 per standard request

A mapped, structured request prepared for authorised review within an agreed scope.

These prices are being tested. They are not a checkout, binding offer or promise of production availability.

Complex workSeparately scoped

Additional systems, unstructured discovery, unusual complexity or matters outside the agreed workflow require a separate assessment. Trace does not quote those cases through this website.

What the target covers

A fixed-scope readiness record.

The proposed €2,500 Sprint is designed around one operating context, up to three agreed systems and one synthetic request rehearsal.

Review all eleven deliverables
Included
Context interview, intake map, source maps, identifier logic, owner register, limitations, decision matrix, synthetic rehearsal, fictional evidence pack, gap report and recommendation.
Not included
Live request handling, production access, legal advice, certification, autonomous decisions or a promise of ongoing coverage.
Payment boundary
No payment until scope, capacity and terms are confirmed in writing. No live personal data is required for the rehearsal.

What Trace is testing

The price is part of the research.

Design-partner conversations are intended to test whether the scope is valuable, who buys it and what should happen after readiness is mapped.

01

Problem fit

Does the Sprint address a workflow buyers already recognise as expensive?

02

Scope fit

Are three systems and one synthetic rehearsal enough to create a useful result?

03

Price fit

Is €2,500 within a realistic range for the approved scope?

04

Coverage pull

Does a successful Sprint create demand for maintained readiness and operational capacity?

Pricing questions

Know what is and is not available.

Can I buy the Readiness Sprint online?
No. There is no checkout. Trace must first confirm fit, delivery capacity, scope, roles, data handling and written terms.
Is €2,500 a final public price?
No. It is the target price being tested for the proposed fixed-scope Readiness Sprint. The final scope and any payment would be agreed in writing.
Is monthly Coverage available now?
No. Privacy Operations Coverage is planned, with an expected starting point of €750 per month. It is not a generally available service or binding offer.
What is a standard request?
The working hypothesis is a mapped, structured request within an agreed source and complexity boundary. Exact eligibility, timing and exclusions have not yet been finalised.
What counts as complex work?
Examples may include additional systems, unstructured discovery, multiple legal entities, contested matters or case-specific requirements outside an agreed workflow. Complex work would be separately assessed and scoped.
Does joining the waitlist reserve capacity?
No. Joining the waitlist, emailing Trace or submitting an application creates no contract, capacity reservation or production-access authorisation.
