Kino Credit Economics

The selling price of a package is not the value of each Credit. Kinoder prices capabilities against the lowest defensible net value of one Credit across active packages and promotions.

Floor value

net package proceeds
  = package price
  - payment fees
  - non-recoverable taxes
  - expected disputes and refunds

floor Credit value
  = minimum(net package proceeds / package Credits)

Use the lowest active package value after discounts and granted-credit policy. A cheaper future package can make previously safe capability prices unprofitable.

Granted and free Credits

Granted Credits create the same provider and infrastructure cost as purchased Credits. Track them separately as acquisition, retention, support, or remediation subsidy. Define an owner, monthly budget, and measurable success criterion.

Rounding

Convert required revenue to whole Kino Credits only once at the final billing-unit total unless the product contract explicitly itemizes separately priced components. Always round upward when a fraction would under-recover cost.

Evidence posture: the formulas are product policy. Active package values, fees, taxes, and promotional assumptions are deployment-owned inputs and must be refreshed when commercial terms change.
