PBI
Presence-Bound Identity
Pricing · verification capacity

Choose capacity for provable approvals.

PBI is metered by successful verifications. A “verification” is one /v1/pbi/verify returning PBI_VERIFIED. You can keep your existing auth stack and presence-gate only the actions that matter.

Metered usage
Only successful PBI_VERIFIED verifications count toward capacity.
Audit ready
Receipt hashes provide durable evidence references for disputes and forensics.
No lock-in UX
Gate only irreversible endpoints; keep sessions for everything else.
Enterprise path
PBI Assured supports pilots, security packets, and procurement workflows.

FAQ
Billing questions
Short answers that match how engineering and procurement teams evaluate metered APIs.
What exactly is a “verification”?
One successful call to /v1/pbi/verify that returns decision = PBI_VERIFIED. Denies and errors are not billed as verifications.
Do retries count?
Only if the retry returns PBI_VERIFIED. If a challenge expired or was used, it should be denied and not count as a successful verification.
Should we presence-gate every action?
No. Gate only irreversible actions with high blast radius. Use normal sessions for low-risk operations to keep UX friction minimal.
How do we estimate usage?
Count how many irreversible approvals you execute per month (money out, admin changes, deploy approvals). Start with one endpoint and expand coverage.
