MAVEN
Metering
How MEAL meters MAVEN operations.
Every call on MAVEN is metered through MEAL across three dimensions and may be settled across organizations through MADE.
Per-operation profile
| Operation | Tokens | Seconds | Watts |
|---|---|---|---|
attest | yes | yes | yes |
cite | yes | yes | yes |
contradict | yes | yes | yes |
resolve | yes | yes | yes |
Rate card
MAVEN is an agent kind — heavy on tokens and watts. Standard multipliers apply unless the tenant has a Sovereign-tier override.
| Dimension | Base rate | Multiplier on MAVEN |
|---|---|---|
| Tokens | $3.00 / M tokens | 1.0× |
| Seconds | $0.018 / second | 1.0× |
| Watts | $0.42 / kWh | 1.0× – 1.2× |
Runway enforcement
MANA::budget is consulted at Stage 5. If the tenant's runway is below threshold for any required dimension, PolicyDenied { reason: "runway exhausted" } is returned — the call never reaches MAVEN.
Settlement
Cross-organization calls settle via MADE on the rail declared in the active MOAT treaty. MEAL::reconcile cross-checks metered events against settled payments nightly.
