Authorization Capacity

Authorization is not a purchase.
It is a capability level.

Every compliance decision carries inspection risk.
Analysis is always free. Authorization is the paid event.

Authorization Capability Levels

Level 1

Reconstruction

The organization can rebuild what happened after the fact. Decision logic exists in emails, notes, and memory. Inspectors can expose this gap in real time.

Level 2

Documented Authorization

Decisions are documented at the time they are made. The authorization event is captured with a named owner, evidence reviewed, and regulatory standard applied.

ComplianceWorxs

Level 3

Inspection Defense Infrastructure

Authorization records are issued systematically, permanently frozen, and immediately producible under inspection. Decision trails exist as a matter of operating procedure.

Per-Decision Authorization — On-Ramp & Overage Only

Single Decision Authorization

Available for first-time authorization or as overage beyond monthly membership entitlements. This option exists to remove friction at the conviction moment — not as a substitute for membership.

It is intentionally priced higher than membership.
If you expect to authorize decisions regularly, membership is the correct path.

Authorization Questions

Why is per-decision authorization more expensive than membership?
Because authorization is not a document — it is authority. Membership exists to make ongoing authority sustainable and efficient. Per-decision pricing is intentionally positioned above membership value to signal seriousness and direct organizations with recurring inspection exposure toward the correct long-term path.
What exactly is a Decision Defense Record (DDR)?
A DDR is a fixed, inspection-defensible record that binds a compliance decision to its governing logic, evidence, accountable owner, and timestamp. It is assigned a unique ID at the moment of authorization and cannot be retroactively modified. It is what protects you when an inspector asks: "Who decided? Based on what? At what moment?"
Can I use free modules without purchasing?
Yes. All readiness assessments, briefs, and analysis are always free. You only pay at the moment you choose to authorize — when a DDR is issued. Free modules exist to prepare you to authorize with confidence.
What happens to my DDRs if I cancel my membership?
Issued DDRs are permanent records. Cancellation does not invalidate previously authorized decisions. Your DDR IDs, records, and inspection artifacts remain accessible. Cancellation only stops future issuance.
Are Audit Defense Briefs and Compliance Certificates the same as DDRs?
No. Briefs, certificates, and summaries are derivatives — they reference an existing DDR and carry its authority. A DDR is the authorizing event. Without an issued DDR, these outputs are analysis only and carry no inspection authority.
How do I know which tier is right?
Count your inspection-exposed decisions per month. If that number is 3 or fewer, Individual may be sufficient. If you have recurring decisions across multiple domains, Professional is correct — at $899/month it costs less per decision than a single per-DDR authorization. Enterprise is correct when inspection exposure is systemic across a team or organization.
