4 revenue lanes, brands first
founder-led sales calls per week
REVENUE MODEL
Sell the expensive proof first.
The fastest path to $5M in 2026 is not self-serve first. It is paid atlases, pilots, and sprints that become the product spec.

PAYMENT RAILS
Stripe hosts the money surface.
PointCast remains a static discovery and routing surface. Card data, tax collection, billing retries, and invoices stay inside Stripe-hosted pages or Stripe Invoicing.
Implementation: Use public Stripe Payment Links or Checkout Sessions for sprints and pilots, Stripe Invoicing for annual contracts, and Stripe Billing plus Checkout for recurring workspace/API add-ons.
Secret policy: No Stripe secret key belongs in this static repo. If dynamic Checkout Sessions are needed later, add a server-side endpoint with the latest Stripe API version and Price ids.
Public package CTAs are wired to PointCast intake until live Stripe Payment Links or invoices are configured in the Stripe dashboard.
