Chapter 04 — The deal

One payment.
Escrow first.

A plain-English summary of the deal. The full written terms are provided before any payment — this page exists so nothing here is a surprise later.

1. What is being sold

The source code only: the BuildIT Index certification harness, plus the forecasting platform it was built against, transferred as a reference implementation.

Nothing else transfers. No customers, no accounts, no company, no brand, no domain, no revenue, no data feed and no ongoing obligation.

2. What is not included

  • 01No customers or accounts. The product is pre-launch: $0 revenue, 0 users.
  • 02No API keys and no .env file. The buyer supplies their own keys and credentials.
  • 03No licensed market-data feed. The platform uses unofficial Yahoo Finance. A serious deployment needs a licensed feed, at the buyer’s cost.
  • 04No live trading. The platform is paper trading only. There is no broker execution path included.
  • 05No database. The buyer supplies their own. The certifier itself needs none.

3. Price and payment

$4,950 USD, one payment only. No instalments, no revenue share, no earn-out, no success fee and no equity.

The escrow fee is paid by the buyer, or deducted from the proceeds at close. The payment route is escrow, not a direct transfer.

4. The sequence

3Buyer confirms

4Escrow releases

No repository access is given before escrow funds.

Condition
Sold as-is. Liability is capped at the sale price. Full written terms are provided before any payment.

5. Handover and support

7–14 days of questions only. No SLA, no maintenance, no future updates, no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

Setup is expected to take 3–5 engineer-days. Node 22 is required — Node 24 breaks the Prisma install. Running costs are estimated at $35–80 per month at hobby scale, and the Chronos-2 model weights (~460 MB) are downloaded at setup.

6. Proof pack

A free short summary is available to anyone on request, and asking for it commits you to nothing.

The full proof pack is shared privately, only after screening, under an evaluation-only licence: no commercial use, no redistribution.

7. Condition and liability

Sold as-is. Liability is capped at the sale price. No representation is made that the software is error-free, complete, secure, or suitable for any particular use.

8. Public history and exclusivity

The repository was public under an MIT licence from 1–22 October 2026. Anyone who copied it during that window holds a perpetual MIT licence to that snapshot.

Exclusivity is therefore not warranted, and the sale does not claim it. The price reflects that.

9. AI assistance

Development used AI coding tools extensively. Copyright in purely AI-generated expression is unsettled in several jurisdictions, and that is disclosed in writing to buyers rather than left to be discovered.
