    {
      "question": "Is there a free tier?",

The public website, the Alpha Standard and methodology, Institute research, published executive and company records, the public HTTP endpoints described at /openapi.json, public MCP discovery, and the AI Readiness Eval are all free and require no account."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do you publish prices?",
      "answer": "Alpha Council membership terms and dues are shared privately during the invitation process. Platform, authenticated API and MCP access, verified assessments, enterprise Council membership, education, and diagnostics are scoped per institution, so this page states 'Commercial terms available on request' rather than publishing a number that would not hold."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can an AI agent sign up?",
      "answer": "No. There is no self-serve signup, sandbox, or self-issued key for agents or humans on the approved-access surfaces. An agent can use every public surface immediately without registering. Approved access is requested from a person and reviewed manually."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do API and MCP access work?",
      "answer": "Public operations need nothing: call the endpoints described at /openapi.json, or connect to public MCP discovery. Approved operations on api.alpha.ac and premium MCP capabilities require an approved organization entitlement; OAuth-capable clients authorize through WorkOS, and active Alpha API keys remain supported during the migration. The exact split is published as JSON at /api/public/auth-capabilities."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is Alpha a certification body?",
      "answer": "No. Alpha publishes independent evals, assessments, benchmarks, and standards for enterprise AI governance environments. Alpha does not certify individual AI models, and a rating is an opinion rather than an assurance opinion or investment advice."
    }

  "notes": [
    "This document lists only products already published on www.alpha.ac. Products under development are intentionally excluded from public discovery until Alpha enables them.",
    "Absence of a price is a disclosure, not a hidden number: where terms are not standardized, Alpha states that commercial terms are available on request.",
    "Website discovery metadata describes advertised capability. It is not proof that every concrete MCP resource is currently enumerated by the live server; see /api/public/agent-readiness for the status Alpha can verify from this origin."
