One fixed price, one issued Statement, four weeks from contract. This page sets out exactly what the commission covers, what it produces, and what it does not — so you can decide without a call.
kn0w measures your AI accountability posture across six dimensions, benchmarked against your peers, and reports the CEO Visibility Gap — a signed delta per dimension, not a single combined score — the distance between what you believe is happening and what each function actually runs. That distance is what you are paying to have named.
That placement issues within one Statement under the kn0w hallmark — the institutional record of where you stood the day it was issued, and the baseline every later statement is measured against.
In the Issuer's opinion, a composite reading of 54, placing the company in the Systematic band. Adoption is real, and has outrun the controls around it.

Fixed fee
The A$24,000 commission is the entire commercial relationship. No implementation arm, no advisory retainer, no certification fee, no referral economics.
No advisory conflict
A firm that also sells the remediation cannot be the independent issuer of the finding. That is why no other revenue exists.
Independent, submittable
That independence is what lets the Statement be submitted, unedited, to your board, your regulator, and a diligence room.
A Statement is only worth holding if the party issuing it has nothing to sell you afterward. That is the whole reason the price is a single number. The A$24,000 commission is the entire commercial relationship: no implementation arm, no advisory retainer, no certification fee, no referral economics. A firm that also sells the remediation cannot be the independent issuer of the finding — revenue from any other source would compromise the Statement, which is why no such revenue exists. That same independence is what lets the Statement be submitted, unedited, to your board, your regulator, and a diligence room: a document entangled with its own remediation is not independent of it.
Statements are final on issuance — issued under a published methodology, the same way for every member, amended only to correct a defect and never for commercial preference. Annual Statements supersede the prior operative artefact under the same hallmark and identifier structure. There is no revision cycle, no buyer-side edit, no negotiation of the reading.
One price to commission your Statement — fixed at commission, and fixed again, unchanged, at each anniversary. Everything it includes, in one place.

The fee does not buy implementation, remediation, advisory hours, or follow-on support. No pre-audit rehearsal. No pass/fail stamp, no certification badge, no compliance guarantee. The Statement names what was read; what the company does about it is the company's decision.
A board-, regulator-, and diligence-room-ready PDF, issued under the kn0w hallmark and stamped with a unique identifier.
Composite band and cohort percentile on the face; the full per-dimension reading inside. Benchmarked at k=5.
Three Quarterly Reviews and the Annual Statement keep the one record current — same hallmark, same identifier structure.
Issued Statements are based on submitted evidence and kn0w's published methodology. Statements are final on issuance — no revision cycle, no buyer-side edit. kn0w is paid to issue, not to advise.
The A$24,000 commission is the entire entry. It confers initial standing for twelve months and includes the Audit — the founding act of issuance — together with three Quarterly Reviews at months 3, 6, and 9, and the Annual Statement at the institutional anniversary. The Audit runs over four weeks: written intake and seven voice sessions across the CEO and six function heads. The Statement is issued under the kn0w hallmark, stamped with a unique identifier, and delivered to the member portal as a board-ready PDF. The instrument is described in /how-it-works §2 and /methodology §1.
Standing maintenance is what the institutional relationship maintains. Each year on the institutional anniversary, A$24,000 maintains continued placement in the peer dataset, the three Quarterly Reviews, and the Annual Statement that supersedes the prior operative artefact under the same hallmark and identifier structure as the founding Statement. The regulatory mapping is refreshed each cycle — when CPS 230 guidance shifts, when Consumer Duty enforcement tightens, when APRA FAR extends, or when the TGA updates its AI-as-SaMD framework, the change is folded into the next Annual Statement. Cycle architecture is described in /how-it-works §6.
A re-Audit is commissioned when a material change event falls outside the annual cycle — acquisition, a new regulated business line, significant function-head turnover — under the same fixed-price structure. Each entity is audited independently.
The fee does not buy implementation services, remediation work, advisory hours, or follow-on support. The Statement names what was read; what the company does about it is the company’s decision. The Audit measures the company as it currently runs, so there is no pre-audit preparation or rehearsal. kn0w issues an independent Statement under its published methodology; it does not issue a pass/fail stamp, a certification badge, or a compliance guarantee.
On lapse, the most recent Annual Statement remains the member’s most recent operative artefact and is not retroactively withdrawn — but no further confirmations of standing issue, and peer dataset placement ceases at the end of the paid year. Re-establishing standing requires a new founding act of issuance — a fresh Audit and the standing it confers.
Confidentiality and aggregation. The Statement is confidential to the member and is not published. Contributions to the peer dataset are anonymised at k=5 before aggregation.
The fee buys one institutional record, kept current. Its founding artefact is the issued Statement specimened above — composite band and cohort percentile on its face, the full per-dimension reading and CEO Visibility Gap inside, issued under the kn0w hallmark and stamped with a unique identifier. The three Quarterly Reviews and the Annual Statement do not add documents to buy; they keep that one record current under the same hallmark and identifier structure.
The commercial sequence runs from intake through to anniversary cadence. Five steps. No proposal stage. No statement of work negotiation. No optional upgrade path.
One contract. One institutional record, kept current. The gap between what you believe and what you could prove does not name itself. This is what it costs to have it named — independently, on the record, in a form you can hand over. Commission an audit, and have the distance named.
