One commission to enter the institutional relationship. One annual fee to maintain standing. One standalone fee for re-Audits triggered by material change. Issued as a signed Opinion — not billed by the hour.
The A$24,000 commission is the entire commercial relationship — there is no implementation arm, no advisory retainer, no certification fee, no referral economics. Revenue from any other source compromises the independence of the artefact the buyer is paying for, which is why no such revenue exists. Opinions are final on issuance. Annual Statements supersede the prior operative artefact under the same hallmark and signature. There is no revision cycle, no buyer-side edit, no negotiation of the reading.
The Commission at A$24,000 is the entire entry — the only way into the peer dataset and the act that confers initial standing for twelve months. It includes the Audit, the founding act of issuance, which runs over four weeks: written intake and seven voice sessions across the CEO and six function heads, delivered end-to-end by software. The Opinion that issues from the Audit is the historical record of the institutional relationship, retained perpetually under a sequence number that appears on every Annual Statement that supersedes it.
Annual Standing at A$24,000 per anniversary maintains the institutional relationship the founding act establishes. Each year on the institutional anniversary, the same fee maintains continued placement in the peer dataset, three Quarterly Reviews against the operative artefact baseline, and an Annual Statement that supersedes the prior operative artefact under the same hallmark and signature as the Opinion.
The standalone re-Audit at A$17,500 is the price for a member-commissioned re-Audit triggered by a material change event outside the annual cycle — acquisition, a new regulated business line, significant function-head turnover. It is also the standalone list price for the Audit, the institutional anchor that the annual commission sits above.
The commercial commitment is fixed at four points. There is no usage-based charge, no per-seat fee, and no overage.
No retainer. No success fees. No scope creep. One price to commission your Opinion.
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, delivered end-to-end by software. The Opinion 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 signature as the Opinion. 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.
The standalone fee of A$17,500 is the price for a member-commissioned re-Audit triggered by a material change event outside the annual cycle — acquisition, a new regulated business line, significant function-head turnover. It is also the standalone list price for the Audit, the institutional anchor. Each entity is audited independently; there is no discount on auditing another entity.
The fees do not buy implementation services, remediation work, advisory hours, or follow-on support. The Opinion 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 opinion 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 new Audit at A$17,500 plus the standing maintenance fee.
Confidentiality and aggregation. The Opinion is confidential to the member and is not published. Contributions to the peer dataset are anonymised at k=5 before aggregation.
The commercial sequence runs from intake through to anniversary cadence. Five steps. No proposal stage. No statement of work negotiation. No optional upgrade path.
The fee buys one artefact: a signed Opinion, issued under the kn0w hallmark and stamped with a unique identifier. Below is the reading summary from a published sample — a fictional illustration of the format, end to end.
