Hive is priced as labor, not software. Enter your scope below and the calculator derives your annual receipt cost, what that replaces in payments-counsel and subpoena-response headcount, and the 80% revenue share that clears back to the AG of record. It runs live, against your actual numbers, and the outputs are model estimates checked against public benchmarks (EDRM, Wyrick Robbins 2024).
Receipt fee: Base tier $0.0008 per stamp reflects current pilot pricing for Hive Civilization receipt notarization on Base L2 with USDC settlement. Fee tiers scale with attestation depth (Premium adds conformance proofs; Audit adds disclosure-tier routing). Reference: Hive Civilization revenue architecture, May 2026.
Subpoena response cost: EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model) community benchmarks place the average per-response cost for platform-grade money-transmission compliance deployments at $25K to $75K depending on scope, including counsel time, technology costs, production review, and privilege screening. Default $42K is the midpoint of recent published benchmarks for SaaS-scale e-discovery. Source: EDRM benchmarks.
SLA improvement: 23× faster reflects industry-standard 23-day average for manual discovery responses on payments platforms (per Wyrick Robbins payments litigation survey, 2024) versus <24h SLA for Hive subpoena bundle export. Source: Wyrick Robbins 2024.
Verification cost: Managed verification costs $0.05 per call on the basic tier. Checking a receipt offline is free, using the open-source verifier. The 3% default assumes a typical mix of counterparty and auditor checks; large enterprises may run higher.
You supply every input above. The outputs are calculated straight from those inputs and are model estimates checked against public benchmarks (EDRM, Wyrick Robbins 2024). This calculator runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to Hive Civilization or anyone else. The cryptographic primitives used in the receipt layer (Ed25519, BLAKE3, JCS canonicalization) are real, and anyone can verify them offline against the live hive-passport chain. The volume numbers above are just examples; real platform-scale traffic will vary. Nothing here is legal or financial advice.
Below is your scoped ROI calculation as a structured JSON object, in the same canonical format as a Unified Tre'gent Receipt. In the production calculator, this object is Ed25519-signed locally with a Hive verifier key, producing a verifiable PDF report.
Copied.This calculator does real math, not marketing math. It runs entirely in your browser against your own numbers. The receipt fee is the real production fee. The subpoena cost benchmark is the published EDRM range. And the SLA improvement is just the actual gap between manual discovery, which takes weeks, and a cryptographic receipt export, which takes seconds.
For a platform-grade payments deployment processing 2.1B transactions a year, the receipt layer pays for itself in roughly 30 days, just from what it saves on subpoena response. Every transaction after that creates a record nobody can dispute later, at a fraction of a cent.
What this proves: money-transmission compliance only makes sense if the cost of proving something happened is far lower, about a thousand times lower per transaction, than what discovery costs today. Hive's per-receipt fee is built to be that.
What this does not claim: that Hive is a money-transmission business (it is not; Hive holds no customer funds), that receipts are court-admissible without procedural authentication (admissibility is a court-by-court determination), or that this calculator constitutes legal or financial advice (it does not).
