Questions before launch

Compute FAQ

Can I buy S1 today?

No. S1 is in pre-launch planning and no Pleroma compute product is currently offered for sale.

What will S1 cost?

Pricing will be published at launch after supplier terms, landed economics, availability, fulfillment, warranty, and service readiness are confirmed.

What is the Capability Dividend?

It is the market-relative customer value created when Pleroma shares Verified Efficiency Advantage from an admitted offer. Current policy assigns customers at least 75% of verified advantage.

What qualifies a product for the program?

Initial formal admission requires at least 10% Verified Efficiency Advantage relative to an Active Qualified Competitive Floor, plus complete supply, cost, fulfillment, warranty, support, compliance, liquidity, evidence, and claim gates.

Does unit count set the Dividend rate?

No. Unit count remains a maturity and reporting measure, but realized verified economics now determine the governed Dividend.

What is S1.5?

S1.5 is the governed Advanced Personal AI tier between dedicated personal AI and professional productive-capital systems. Capacity-first and throughput-first families require separate technical, market, cost, and admission evidence. No S1.5 product is currently offered for sale.

Is the Operations Reserve a checkout fee?

No. It is a bounded internal allocation for evidenced founding risk and resilience needs. Customers see one price, and all mandatory seller-imposed charges are included when their realized Dividend is calculated.

Does payment method affect realized value?

It can. The governed headline uses a generally available no-surcharge acquisition method. Any permitted payment-method charge actually paid must be reflected in that customer’s method-specific realized Dividend.

Is the illustrative calculation an advertised price?

No. It is a hypothetical example showing the formula and is not an offer, price guarantee, preorder, or availability statement.

Will Pleroma Works manufacture the first S1 system?

The final product has not been selected. If the launch system is manufacturer-branded, Pleroma Works will identify the product and manufacturer accurately.

Will the system require Pleroma software?

The design principle is integration without captivity. Standard operating systems, NVIDIA tooling, development frameworks, and interfaces should remain usable.
