Open books: what this app costs is not asserted but derived — from its own reservation and the one formula the platform bills everybody by, the operator included. Everything is shown in USDC; µ$ (millionths of a USDC) is the internal accounting unit.

5 × 256 MiB / 0.25 CPU — reserved per cgroup: 1.25 GiB

Cost price
2.78 USDC/cycle

Provider price · φ / rentable units, over the real cycle length — the φ factor pays for the 1/φ headroom.

Price
4.51 USDC/cycle

Debited daily: 160,935 µ$ (0.16 USDC) from the prepaid balance.

Of which margin
1.72 USDC/cycle

A constant 38.2 % of the price — it covers fixed costs and funds the expansion.

No calendar month: the calendar is anchored on the Monday of ISO week 1 — the epoch's first billing day often still lies in the old calendar year. 13 cycles of 28 days made of two 14-day sprints each; cycle 13 swallows the year's remainder (35 days in 53-week years, its second sprint 21) and then honestly costs its real length. The provider's monthly price is normalised to the day (€/month · 12 / 365.25); debiting is daily, every step rounded up.

The rules — one constant, φ ≈ 1.618

  1. 1 · PriceP = ⌈C · φ⌉ µ$

    Margin/cost = cost/price = 1/φ — the price is literally golden-cut.

  2. 2 · Expansionu ≥ 1/φ ≈ 61.8 %

    Only then the next node, in Fibonacci steps: 1 · 2 · 3 · 5 · 8.

  3. 3 · Reserveu ≥ 1/φ ∧ R ≥ K_next

    The margin funds the next step before it is needed.

  4. 4 · Visible numbersTiers 1·2·3·5·8 × 256 MiB

    Identity is free; what is paid for are reserved resources, all numbers Fibonacci.

  5. 5 · Open booksd = Σ margin / F

    The platform is its own first tenant and publishes fixed costs and coverage.

  6. 6 · Providerswitch when p_new ≤ p_old/φ

    The provider price is an input — every saving passes through to the users by formula.

Every number on this page can be recomputed from three public inputs: the provider price list, φ, Fibonacci. One unit is 0.25 GiB RAM with 0.25 CPU.
