Can I switch tiers later?
Yes. Move up or down month-to-month with no friction. Annual commits get a 20% discount; if you downgrade mid-annual we credit the remainder.
What happens to my work if I downgrade?
It stays. Lower tiers lose the ability to write new Futures or use the gated tools, but everything you authored remains visible and downloadable.
Is the Predictive Planning Institute certification real?
Yes. Researchers earn one free seat in the Predictive Planning Institute Certified Practitioner program — the same curriculum we sell to enterprise teams for $1,500/seat. One seat per Researcher tier subscription.
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, on-call Council, governance. You can hold both if you and your firm want.
What if I'm a working researcher (think tank, fund analyst, journalist)?
The Researcher tier is for you. If you'd rather earn the tier than pay for it, the contributor application path stays open — write good signals, get reviewed, the same mark is yours.
