The Whole Bench
The Whole Bench is the top tier: everything in The Rig plus Press Radar, the AI Citation Meter, the By-the-Call SEO Manual and the two-file adversarial fact-check protocol we run on our own reports. One payment, twelve months of dated updates on every component, no subscription. Human time is not included and remains an open decision.
What it does: Every system on the bench, with every dated run, in one archive with one changelog.
What it will never do: Will never sell a partial component as passed. Nothing enters the bench without dated runs; a component whose gate is partial ships marked partial, its zeros visible, and the bench's own gate stays partial until every component passes.
Instrument: each component's own ledger rows; see the component pages.
Proof files (private audit folder, dated): AUDIT/press-2026-08-24/ · AUDIT/dfs-2026-08-26/ · AUDIT/citations-2026-08-22/. See the ledger for the public reading.
Tailwind Plus $299 one-time · ShipFast bundle $299 · Makerkit Pro $349 lifetime PRIMARY source
Team editions in the market: ×1.86 to ×4.4 the solo price, median ×3.3, a ratio we derived from four vendor pages read on 2026-09-03, not a figure any vendor prints SECONDARY source
The Whole Bench: $499 once. A team edition is not offered yet.
Primary = read on the vendor’s own pricing page on that date. Secondary = a third-party read, not confirmed on the vendor page. No calculator, no “breakeven”, no “profit”: the readings are context, not a swap.
What is inside, beyond The Rig
Press Radar (12-block playbook, scripts, neutralised configuration, register). The AI Citation Meter (four probes, the grid, the cost ledger). The By-the-Call SEO Manual (doctrine v2.1, budget gate, nine playbooks). The adversarial fact-check protocol: the two-file challenge format, the planted-error method, the arbitration template, with the dated challenges we ran on our own persona, study and strategy documents.
Waitlist: The Whole Bench
No ship date is set: a system goes on sale the day its payment test passes. You get one dated note then, with the price frozen and the run proof attached. No sequence, no countdown.
- Human time: Whether an option with paid hours of availability exists at this tier is not decided. Until it is, the tier contains files only.
The Whole Bench: questions
Can I buy a component alone?
Yes. Press Radar, the By-the-Call SEO Manual, the AI Citation Meter, the Zero-Dependency Audit Scripts and the two kits are sold on their own pages. The bench is the same files with one changelog.
