The quarter's cost lines and the paying-member count live in a signed, expiring, editable document (cost-model), not in code; a new quarter is a new signed version, and an older version is refused (rollback protection)
Depends on: LIC-0001
The fee is the quarter's cost divided by the paying members, rounded down to a presentable step so the members together never pay more than the cost; there is no opening multiple (ADR-0009, tentative); the price starts high when few members share the cost and falls as paying members grow, never rising with more members; integer arithmetic only, never a percentage of revenue
Depends on: LIC-0001
The same fee applies to the whole of Simca, Simca Packaging and Simca Logistics included; the signed document carries scope all_products and cannot carry any per-product, per-element, per-role or per-event field
Depends on: LIC-0001
There is no launch premium, no surplus and no opening multiple; early members pay more only because fewer share the cost, and their bill drops as members join
Depends on: LIC-0001
From the signed quarterly documents already on the member's machine, the launcher computes how the member's fee changed since the quarter they started (exact integer tenths of a percent), and reports a rise honestly as a rise; nothing is fetched or reported anywhere
Depends on: LIC-0001
Every document in the history needs both signatures, versions must rise with the quarters, the newest must be current and not rolled back, and a missing starting quarter, mixed currency or mixed mock and real models are refused
Depends on: LIC-0001
A hard ceiling per member is not wanted: the first members may pay a large share of the cost, which the transparency page states plainly; the 10x-cost ceiling no longer exists (ADR-0009)
Depends on: LIC-0001
Random demonstration numbers use the no-currency code XXX, carry MOCK labels and ids and a seed, are refused by the launcher, cannot be turned into a price table, and cannot be signed without an explicit flag
Depends on: LIC-0001
A cost model must carry an expiry no later than the end of the following quarter, so a stale breakdown cannot be shown as current
Depends on: LIC-0001
A FINAL price table can be derived from a FINAL cost model and a decided (SET) profit threshold; a mock model or a tentative threshold can never reach it
Depends on: LIC-0001
One generated file with the cost lines, the total, the arithmetic, the resulting flat fee, the fall with member count and an example of a member's bill falling over earlier quarters; the website renders it and does no pricing arithmetic of its own
Depends on: LIC-0001
A cost-model or price-tiers document is accepted only with two signatures from two disjoint key sets, made by different people on different offline devices over the same bytes; one stolen or lost key signs nothing that is accepted and the same key cannot be both signers
Depends on: LIC-0001
The ordinary single-signature check refuses the price and cost document types outright, so no code path can accept a price on one signature
Depends on: LIC-0001
Each of the two key sets holds an active key and an enrolled offline spare, so a lost or suspect key is replaced by rotating to its spare without lowering the two-signature rule
Depends on: LIC-0001
Revocation applies to both key sets and wins over trust; revoking either signer's key invalidates documents it signed
Depends on: LIC-0001
Generating the four keys offline, choosing the two custodians, recording the public keys and a dry-run rotation is documented in ADR-0008 and still to be done by the owner; no real key exists yet
Depends on: LIC-0001
Trusted public keys and revocations reach a customer only through a launcher update they choose to apply, because there is no polling; losing both keys of one side stops new documents until a new build carries new keys
Depends on: LIC-0001
