Paid access infrastructure for proprietary research

Make proprietary knowledge purchasable by AI agents.

FairFetch authenticates the agent, enforces the licence, returns a bounded cited answer, meters the use and creates a shared transaction receipt.

Step 1 · Licensed supply

Start with one premium document.

The source is registered, priced and permissioned before any agent can retrieve from it.

What this iteration proves

The smallest credible knowledge transaction.

Licensed supply

One document with explicit machine-use terms.

The transaction starts with ownership, access mode, quote limits, price and private-source status.

Agent access

One external API contract.

The public pilot endpoint authenticates an agent key, searches metadata and accepts an idempotent retrieval request.

Controlled answer

Useful output without the raw file.

The response is bounded, grounded and cited. The source PDF and unrestricted chunks are never returned.

Economic proof

One shared receipt for both sides.

The buyer sees credits charged; the provider sees gross earnings, the FairFetch fee and net earnings.

From prototype to customer pilot

Replace the illustrative source. Keep the transaction contract.

The next operational milestone is one real, owned PDF and one external buyer. That adds private storage, document processing, grounded retrieval and a persistent ledger without changing the product story.

Initial wedge

Specialist research that is valuable, owned and hard for agents to procure.

Start with independent energy, manufacturing, semiconductor and supply-chain research firms that already sell to humans but lack machine distribution.

FairFetch is not another research database. It is the permission, retrieval and settlement layer between an external agent and a knowledge owner.
