Independence firewall
Designesy does not accept payment for scores, methodology changes, or leaderboard placement. Every score is computed by the same deterministic 42-check engine against the same published contract. Enterprise customers pay for private scoring on their own infrastructure, never for public leaderboard placement. If a scored site is also an enterprise customer, their public score is computed identically to any non-customer’s score.

Questions
What does “early access” mean?
Continuity is not yet live. We are talking to builders who score work with agents to shape the monitoring features before billing starts. Join the waitlist if you want in early.
How many scores can I run on the free tier?
No hard cap. The free tier scores any URL with the full 42-check engine and keeps your last 5 scores in your browser. Continuity adds scheduled scans, server-side history, and email drift alerts.
Can I score against my own design system?
Soon, on every tier, free: point the engine at your DESIGN.md or DTCG tokens in place of the Designesy contract. Continuity watches your contract over time with scheduled scans, drift alerts, and history. Enterprise runs a private contract instance on your own infrastructure (on-prem or VPC) with SSO and an audit trail.
How many sites are included in Continuity?
Continuity is $29 a month for 5 sites. Each site gets scheduled scans, drift alerts, and its own score history. Need more? Enterprise covers unlimited sites.
Can I use the free tier commercially?
Yes. Score any site, embed the badge, and export the receipt, commercially or otherwise. The open contract and machine feed are published for any agent or tool to consume.
What happens to my score history if I upgrade?
Your 5 local scores stay in your browser. Continuity picks up server-side history from the moment it activates. Local and server-side history are separate stores; neither overwrites the other.
