Serial work: what each tool documents about continuity

Composited from segments, with a rate attached to the second

The price list states that episodes are composited from segments, billed at one credit per second of output. A unit on the join is what separates a feature from a cost, and a reader can multiply it by an episode length and an episode count before committing. As of 2026-09-22.

What a published unit lets a reader calculateA rate against a second of finished output multiplies by an instalment length and an instalment count.

Inclusion rule. Three points per reading: the sentence as the vendor published it, the thing that sentence names, and what it declines to settle. Nothing here is inferred from an interface or a demo. Order. From the published sentence, to what it names, to what it leaves open.

1Charging for a step proves the step is inside the product

A vendor does not bill for work it expects a customer to do in an editing application. A rate on the composite means the join is something the platform performs, which for a serial pipeline removes an entire tool from the workflow.

The amount is small next to generation. What it buys is the absence of a manual step repeated once per episode for a whole season, and that is worth more than the figure looks like it is worth.

2Per second of output is the one unit that survives comparison

Credits per plan, per project or per seat cannot be converted into the cost of a twenty-minute episode without knowing how many credits a minute consumes. Per second of finished picture needs no conversion at all.

That is why the register records the unit rather than the price. Prices move; the unit is what determines whether a reader can work anything out from the page.
