Pick the surface
API, benchmark, index, embeddable widget, clean-room enclave. The choice is driven by counterparty risk, rights envelope, and the unit economics of distribution.
Productization gate
Nothing ships without rights clearance, warranty posture, support plan, and a price corridor. The gate is non-negotiable.
Distribution architecture
Direct, marketplace, partner, or enclave. Each carries its own metering, SLA, and revenue recognition profile.
Questions buyers actually ask.
No. The first one or two products usually ship out of the platform team with KRYOS handling productization.
Yes. Benchmark publication is one of the safest external surfaces.
A price corridor is set against the band's P50 and the elasticity of the chosen distribution surface.
A defined support plan, SLA, and deprecation policy are part of the productization gate.
