Agency License — for consultants, advisors, and boutique firms serving high-stakes clients.
The complete Decision Protocol method — licensed for broad-scope professional deployment, with firm-branding permissions and operator guidance.
Spring Edition pricing applies to operators adopting the methodology before its standard market launch.
Terms, contents, and license scope are identical at both price points — only the acquisition price differs. Licensees retain their license perpetually, with method updates through December 2026.

Why an agency-grade license exists
It is not a reseller kit. It is an operator-grade license that lets you use the method inside client engagements, with your own cover, your own voice, your own delivery style — while the underlying procedural structure remains sound.
Governance engagements delivered by licensed advisors are typically invoiced between USD 15,000 and 35,000 per client, depending on engagement depth. The Agency License is structured for application within such engagements, providing the operational method the advisor uses across client work — reducing per-engagement preparation time and producing a recognizable standard of delivery across the advisor’s portfolio.

Method Updates Through December 2026
Any addition, revision, or new instrument published during 2026 is included at no additional cost for Spring Edition buyers. This benefit is exclusive to the promotional window and does not apply to the standard license tier after the Spring Edition closes.
For advisors who deliver defensibility. Honest about who it isn’t for.
The Agency License is built for a specific kind of professional practice. It is not a general-purpose product. The clearer we are about where it fits and where it does not, the better the fit will be for those who proceed.
This License is for you if
- You serve mid-market companies deploying AI under board, investor, or regulatory scrutiny.
- Your engagements involve documented governance, audit preparation, or first institutional reviews.
- Your method must hold on its own written merits before independent reviewers.
- Your clients face decisions where “we thought it was fine at the time” is not a sufficient answer.
This License is not for you if
- You are looking for an accredited certification. The Decision Protocol Institute is a publishing brand, not a certifying body.
- You need formal legal opinions to deliver to clients. The instruments document defensibility; they do not replace qualified counsel in your or your clients’ jurisdiction.
- You do not yet have an active client practice. The Agency License is structured for application within billable engagements — without one, the same materials are available at the Internal License level for $397.
- You expect post-purchase advisory or one-on-one method support. The License delivers the system; updates through December 2026 are included, individual coaching is not.
Common questions from advisors
What does broad-scope deployment mean in practice?
You may apply the licensed materials within professional engagements in your practice, proportionate to the activity of a single licensee. The license is granted to you as a single individual or legal entity — colleagues within your firm wishing to apply the method in their own engagements require separate licenses. The scope and terms are identical for Spring Edition and Standard purchasers; the only difference is the price at acquisition.
Can I genuinely put my firm's cover on the deliverables?
Yes, on client-facing deliverables produced during your engagements. The license preserves a minimal footer attribution to The Decision Protocol Institute as the method source — standard practice for licensed methodologies — but the primary branding, cover, and voice are yours.
Why is the Spring Edition priced at $997 rather than the standard $1,497?
Because it is not a discount. The $997 price reflects the decision to work with an inaugural cohort of operators before the license reaches its standard market position at $1,497. Spring Edition buyers also receive method updates through December 2026 — a benefit not extended at the standard tier later.
Is there a refund window?
Yes — refund requests may be submitted within 14 days of purchase, like all other products. The refund policy page describes the exact terms, including an additional 30-day exception window applicable to Spring Edition purchases in case of verifiable technical delivery issues.
What happens after 31 May?
On 1 June 2026 the Agency License transitions to its standard list price of $1,497. Terms, contents, and license scope are identical for Spring Edition and Standard purchasers; the only difference is the price at acquisition. Spring Edition buyers retain their perpetual license and their method updates through December 2026, as promised.
A first cohort. A long institutional horizon.
The Decision Protocol Institute opens its Spring Edition Agency License to operators who will carry the method into client engagements before the public market even knows the method exists. If that describes your practice, the Spring Edition window remains open through 31 May.
