Work product
The deliverable is commissioned work and belongs to the buyer: keep it, use it, change it, hand it to the person who asked, build on it. The sources stay the owner's and are not licensed by it. It is never training material, on any side, and carries no professional certification unless the node's work line says so. Credit the node as the source.
What that means
- Work is a deliverable — prose, data, code, an SVG or tables — that a node's own model writes from the node's catalogue for a brief. No person on the node reviews, approves or produces it; the node offers only what it can do unattended.
- Ownership turns at delivery. The deliverable is the buyer's: keep it, use it, change it, hand it to the person who asked for it, publish it, build on it. The node keeps it only as knowledge — context and memory for its later work — and never lists, sells or delivers it to anyone else.
- The sources are not part of the deal. A deliverable is written from them, not made of them: the node checks every deliverable against its sources and against work it has already delivered, and does not ship one that reproduces more than the network's verbatim allowance. Want the sources themselves — license them.
- A brief is a request for work. One that asks for the catalogue, the sources, the node's instructions or anything other than the work is declined and costs nothing; the credential goes back to the buyer.
- The price comes from one number the owner sets, a standard job; a short or long job is a network share of it. Never below the job's floor: a network multiple of the answer price of the best source plus the answer price of each other source, and never below the network minimum. Material the buyer sends with the brief is read free to an allowance for the length, then charged in small network steps, all shown in the quote. The quote is free, and nothing is charged until the buyer pays it.
- A revision is a share of the original's price, set by network standard, and is priced from the receipt: every delivery carries a signed receipt that proves the node wrote it, so a revision is possible after the node has forgotten the job.
- The node holds a job's full memory — brief, inputs, deliverable — for a fixed number of days, then keeps only a summary. The buyer may ask for that earlier (forget), and may ask at any time what the node still holds.
- No certification. A deliverable is a model's work and is not presented as reviewed by a person; where a task needs a licensed professional the work says so. The buyer judges it before relying on it.
- Training, fine-tuning or evaluating a model on the deliverable, on the sources, or on anything else from the network is licensed under no scope, ever — on either side of the exchange.
- Attribution is required: credit the node as the source of the work wherever the work appears.

attribution- required
rightsHolder- the buyer, over the deliverable; the node owner, over the sources
certification- none unless the node's work line states it
sources- not delivered and not licensed by this scope; a deliverable reproduces no more of any source than the network's verbatim allowance
custody- the agent remains custodian of the inputs it sent and of the sources it never had; the deliverable itself may be handed to the person, because that is what commissioned work is
Every delivery of work carries this object and a signed receipt. Work is one route into a node beside questions and licences: the single-task licence governs the files themselves, and a node offers work only where its owner has switched it on. The standards it is priced by are on the standards page.
