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.
Early Access pricing rewards adopters who commit to the methodology before the 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.
Preview the Agency Edition
Inspect the same instruments advisors deploy inside client engagements — sample pages, triage logic, review structure, and operator guidance — before committing to a license. Two formats, same contents.
The Interactive Preview runs in your browser — no download required. The PDF is provided for offline review and internal circulation.
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. A single such engagement recovers the Agency License investment multiple times over while establishing the operational method the advisor will use across future client work — reducing per-engagement preparation time and producing a recognizable standard of delivery across the advisor's portfolio.
What an Early Access License contains
The complete AI Governance Suite
38 structured instruments across both frameworks — AI Use & Control plus AI Vendor & Data Control — including the Execution Library (20 case records), Executive Briefing (10 pages), and Deployment Roadmap (30 days). The full operator kit.
Broad-Scope Professional Deployment
Apply the Decision Protocol method within your professional engagements, proportionate to the professional activity of a single licensee, for the full duration of your perpetual license. Method updates included through December 2026.
Firm-Branding Permissions
Replace the DPI cover page with your own firm's visual identity on professional deliverables. The procedural integrity remains intact; the branding layer adapts to your practice. Attribution retained in footer per license terms.
Operator's Manual & Deployment Guide
A dedicated guide for advisors deploying the method in client engagements: scoping interview templates, kickoff agenda, triage facilitation script, stakeholder mapping protocols, common objection responses.
Source Files (Editable)
Editable versions of all core templates in .docx and .pdf-form formats, so you can tailor documents to each engagement's context — sector-specific wording, regulatory emphasis, client vocabulary — without rebuilding from scratch.
Method Updates Through December 2026
Any addition, revision, or new instrument published during 2026 is included at no additional cost for Early Access. This is not offered at the standard license tier post-April 30.
Advisors who deliver defensibility, not just advice
The Agency License is for professionals whose clients face situations where "we thought it was fine at the time" is not a sufficient answer. It assumes you understand the difference between producing a deliverable and producing a record that holds under later scrutiny.
- Fractional general counsel and compliance advisors serving mid-market companies deploying AI systems, where documented governance is required by boards, investors, or regulators.
- Boutique risk and audit firms supporting clients through regulatory reviews, acquisitions, or first institutional audits.
- Independent internal auditors and ex-Big4 practitioners who deliver governance assessments and need a method that stands on its written merits before independent reviewers.
- Executive coaches and board advisors working with founders and CEOs who need to demonstrate diligence in decisions that may later be challenged.
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 Early Access 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 this called "Early Access" rather than a discount?
Because it is not a discount. The $997 price reflects the decision to work with a first cohort of operators before the license reaches its standard market position at $1,497. Early Access also receive method updates through December 2026 — a benefit not available at the standard tier later.
Is there a refund window?
Given the immediate download nature of the product and the inclusion of editable source files, the license is generally non-refundable once downloaded. The refund policy page describes the exact terms, including the exception window applicable to Early Access in case of technical delivery issues.
What happens after April 30?
On May 1, 2026 the Agency License transitions to its standard list price of $1,497. Terms, contents, and license scope are identical for Early Access and Standard purchasers; the only difference is the price at acquisition. Early Access buyers purchased through April 30 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 Early Access 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, this is your window.
