Business model pillars
Membria CE supports two commercial tiers:- Pay‑per‑distill (trial / lightweight): users pay only when a DoD escalation is required, without the full Decision Surface/DBB workflow.
- Full subscription (DBB + DS): always‑on client capture, Decision Surface signals, and access to backend escalations.
