Watchtower and paid

What observes on every tier, and what only acts once you pay.

Every account starts on Watchtower, and stays there for as long as you like. Watchtower is not a trial, has no clock on it, and does not expire into a locked account.

What it does is watch. Every call is identified, priced, correlated to a job, and run through the full decision pipeline — policies included. What it does not do is change anything.

The line

There is one distinction worth holding onto, and it is not free-versus-paid. It is safety versus governance and economics.

Safety works on every tier. The kill switch stops an agent. A hard spend cap stops spending. A free account that needs to stop something can stop it, immediately.
Governance and economics are what you pay for. Policies that deny a call, approvals that hold one for a human, and the cost levers that route to a cheaper model or answer from cache.

Why not gate the kill switch too

Because a stop button you have to buy is not a stop button. If an agent is doing damage at 3am on a free account, the answer cannot be a pricing page.

What Watchtower gives you

Every model and tool call, priced and attributed to a job.
Every policy decision recorded — including the ones that would have denied or held a call, marked as advisory.
A weekly figure for what the levers would have saved, clearly marked modelled rather than saved.
The kill switch and spend caps.

That modelled figure is the entire argument for upgrading, and we would rather it were honest than large. It is never billed against.

What changes when you pay

The same pipeline, now with its hands on the controls. A policy that said would_deny now denies. An approval rule that recorded a hold now actually holds the call until a human answers. The levers act, and what they save becomes measured.

Pricing follows from that: the greater of a small floor and a share of what Navige has measurably saved you. If no lever ever fires, there is nothing to take a share of, and the bill is the floor.

If you cancel

You go back to Watchtower. Nothing is cut off, no data is deleted, and the console keeps working — the levers and the enforcing half of governance simply stop. Observation continues for as long as the account exists.

One thing to check before you cancel

Policies that were denying calls become advisory again. If you were relying on one to stop a specific action in production, it will stop stopping it. The kill switch is unaffected.

Unsubscribing

Unsubscribing from the emails ends the emails. Deleting the account is a separate, deliberate action, and it removes the organisation, its agents, their keys and their history.
