Licensing Tiers

URTI licenses its NFCC IP to enterprise buyers at tiered price points. Each tier defines the scope of exclusivity, geographic coverage, and use rights. Licensing is the primary revenue model — deals range from $2M (Pilot) to $200M (Sovereign/territory-exclusive).

Tier 01
Pilot
$2M – $5M
Entry-level licensing for organizations testing NFCC integration. Provides limited geographic scope and use rights for pilot programs and proof-of-concept deployments.
  • Limited geographic scope
  • Time-bound pilot license
  • Technical integration support
  • Proof-of-concept deployment
  • Upgrade path to higher tiers
Tier 02
Enterprise
$10M – $25M
Full enterprise license for organizations operating at national or multi-national scale. Includes broad use rights, dedicated support, and integration tooling for production deployment.
  • National / multi-national scope
  • Perpetual use rights
  • Dedicated account management
  • Production-grade integration
  • Priority support SLAs
Tier 03
Sector-exclusive
$25M – $75M
Exclusivity within a defined industry sector (e.g., construction, furniture, paper/pulp). No other licensee can operate in that sector within licensed territories.
  • Sector exclusivity
  • Territory-specific rights
  • Sub-licensing rights within sector
  • Co-branding arrangement
  • Revenue-sharing on sub-licenses
Tier 04
Sovereign
$75M – $200M
Territory-exclusive licensing for sovereign states or multi-state blocs. The licensee has authority to deploy and sub-license NFCC across an entire country or defined territory.
  • Territory exclusivity (state/bloc)
  • Government deployment authority
  • Full sub-licensing rights
  • Regulatory coordination role
  • Revenue-sharing on all sub-licenses

QDL AI Recommender

Rules-Based — Non-AI

The QDL includes a rules-based deal evaluation engine (non-AI) for scoring buyer fit and recommending licensing tiers. This approach is chosen specifically for enterprise licensing of $2M–$200M deals: auditable, no hallucinations, legally defensible, and deterministic. AI fallback is available for complex evaluation scenarios.

Deal Mechanics

How Licensing Deals Work

Minimum Deal Floor

No deal below $2M. All tiers require minimum commitment to ensure URTI's engagement is worth the operational investment of licensing and onboarding.

Payment Milestones

Enterprise deals structured with payment milestones at key stages: signing, deployment, go-live, and ongoing royalties. Full pipeline tracked in admin panel.

NDA Tracking

NDA execution is tracked before detailed technical disclosure. System manages NDA status and enforces disclosure gates in the buyer journey.

Demo Access Control

Live ledger demo access is gated — buyers progress through qualification before receiving full demo access. Admin panel controls access levels.

License Offer Generation

Admin panel generates formal license offers based on buyer profile, recommended tier, and deal parameters. Offers include term, scope, pricing, and conditions.
