Revenue Path

One company. One checkout sequence. One repeat-revenue move.

Revenue Path is the free agent-native checkout planner. It turns one named company into the exact sequence most likely to close a first paid Company Intel call and then create a Company Watch follow-on.

Free API/api/revenue-path Free previewQualify the first paid call before payment. First paid routeClose the smallest useful company decision. Repeat routeKeep the same company warm over time.

Checkout Sequence

The sequence agents should follow

This keeps buyers out of the full route menu and points them at the shortest path from free intent to a first paid decision and a second paid reason.

free-preview

`/api/trust-preview`

free

Use this to make the paid call feel justified before money moves.

first-paid-decision

`/api/company-intel`

$0.05

This is the smallest useful paid decision on one named company and the current strongest traffic lane.

repeat-revenue

`/api/company-watch`

$0.20

This turns the same company into a recurring trust queue instead of a one-shot report.

proof-escalation

`/api/lead-brief`

$0.05

Use this only when the first paid company decision exposes the real blocker.

Best For

Use this when

Buyer agents that know one company but do not want to choose from the whole route ladder.
Operators trying to turn the current Company Intel traffic into a cleaner first paid close.
Repeat-use workflows that need the same company to move from first read into Company Watch.

Guardrails

Do not use it for

Inflating revenue with synthetic paid calls.
Replacing the actual x402 payment challenge or changing listed route prices.
Skipping the first company decision and jumping straight into a recurring watch with no real target fit.

Output

What it returns

The free preview payload
The first paid Company Intel payload
The repeat Company Watch payload
The proof-escalation route to use only when the blocker is specific
Estimated first-step, two-step, and full-sequence spend

Example

POST /api/revenue-path

The response gives exact payloads for Trust Preview, Company Intel, Company Watch, and the proof route to use only when the blocker is real.
