One free standard. Three contact-us offerings beside it.
The CARL standard — the spec and the methodology — is always free to read. See the license for the current posture (proprietary, all rights reserved). The Scanner (free, rate-limited demo), CARL Monitor, and Advisory are separate offerings, each priced on its own.

- A ranked plan for reaching the next level
- Scope and price set in a signed Statement of Work
Prices marked "Contact us" are not yet published — we'd rather say so than quote a number we haven't set. The free standard never has a price.
