- Is the free tier really free?
- Yes. One full Board of Experts deliberation, plus five Board-suggested follow-up questions, with a shareable verdict URL good for 30 days. No credit card, no account required to view the verdict.
- How does the 7-day trial work?
- The trial lands you on Studio (SMB OIP Full) for seven days. Three documents, three actions, one trial per email domain. Credit card required at trial start, charged on day eight unless you cancel.
- What is a "Chair," and why are they not named after real people?
- Every expert on the Board is a role-titled Chair — Finance, Growth, Strategy, Operations, Product. Personal names invited collisions, parasocial ambiguity, and brittle lore. Titles carry institutional register and rotate cleanly when your industry pack swaps a Chair in or out.
- When do I move from the consumer ladder to the enterprise ladder?
- When you need compliance, an audit trail, or enterprise auth. The jump from Studio to Starter is triggered by SOX-light audit needs or SSO — not feature envy. Most solo operators stay on Studio for a long time.
- What does "agentic execution" mean, and which tiers get it?
- Agentic execution means Convened can act on approved proposals — drafting emails, opening pull requests, scheduling work — via Claude Code and Cowork. Studio unlocks it on the consumer ladder. Echo is insight-only by design; you complete tracked actions yourself.
- What if my organization needs a custom deployment?
- Enterprise Custom covers private-cloud or VPC deployment, custom personas via Logic Ingestion, the Fidelity Certification program, and per-deal pricing. Talk to sales — we scope from your procurement constraints backward.
