The Terminal is the open lattice — for anyone who wants to read the world the way Palanor reads it. The Enterprise Intelligence Platform is the institutional instrument — for the organization that needs the lattice anchored to its strategy. Same Palanor, two surfaces.

If your work is institutional

The lattice has a deeper room for organizations.

Palanor Enterprise Intelligence reads the world against your organization's strategy — your business profile, strategic priorities, risk surface. Context News, Signal Watch, Scenarios, Seer Backplan and Research, with Council available as a Service. Different shape, different cadence, different room.

Pro model usage

Pass-through pricing, published.

Pro includes $15.00 of model usage each month. After that, Numen draws on your balance at the model’s list price plus OpenRouter’s 5.5% fee and Palanor’s 5%. Adding funds passes the card fee through, so every dollar you add is a dollar of usage. Reading, exports and listening are never charged.

Questions

What is the difference between a full seat and a reader?
A full seat builds: scenarios, signal configuration, Lattice Canvas, Numen chat and research. A reader reads: the morning edition, CompanyCast, dashboards and shared scenarios. Palanor Enterprise includes 5 full seats; each additional one is $1,200 a year. Readers are free, and there is no limit on them.
How do credits work?
Interactive Numen work, such as chat, scenario builds and research composition, draws on one monthly pool for the organization: 2,000 credits per full seat. Reading, PDF and PPTX exports, and everything Palanor runs on a schedule (the morning edition, CompanyCast, ranking, scoring, alerts) never count against it. Admins are told at 80% and 100% of the pool.
What does the setup fee include?
$10,000, once. We configure your organization, build Signal Sets from your documents and seed your scenario library. Then a three-hour Foundation Workshop, remote by default, where your leaders build their first Futures Frame and signal map live. Your first morning edition reflects it the next day.
Where did Watcher, Steward and Council go?
Palanor Enterprise replaced the three Enterprise tiers on 5 October 2026. Every organization gets the same platform; the price follows the number of full seats. Council continues as a Service, alongside Facilitated Workshops and Facilitated Scenarios, each quoted separately.
Do you offer nonprofit or multi-year pricing?
Nonprofits receive 25% off the platform fee. A three-year prepay takes 10% off years two and three. Contracts are annual.
Can I switch Terminal tiers later?
Yes. Move between Reader and Pro whenever you like. Pro is $100 a month or $1,000 a year (two months free).
What happens to my work if I downgrade?
It stays. Readers keep writing Essays and Almanac posts; only the Pro tools close. Everything you made remains visible and downloadable.
Is there a free trial for Pro?
Yes. Try Pro free for 30 days. No card. Start it in Palanor or when you sign up. On the last day you go back to Reader unless you subscribe, and everything you made stays.
Why both Terminal and Enterprise prices?
Different jobs. The Terminal serves the steward as an individual: read, write, sharpen judgment. The Enterprise platform serves the organization as a whole: read against the strategy, build scenarios together, govern who sees what. You can hold both if you and your firm want.
What if I'm a consultant, analyst or actuary?
Pro is built for you: the work tools (Signal Builder, Weave, the Workspace Lab, data exports) on top of everything a Reader gets, priced for one person doing client work.
