Best Monetization Model

ScrapFreight should monetize as a workflow and risk-control system, not as another freight-rate screen.

- Charge for avoided loss, time saved, and usable freight intelligence, not just access to screens.

- Keep a free pilot because the product becomes easiest to sell after it finds hidden charges or missing documents in real shipments.

- Use shipment volume as the main value meter because the pain scales with active shipments.

- Add usage charges only for high-cost workflows like negotiation messages, document packets, AI parsing, and provider integrations.

- Do not charge success fees on freight savings until savings measurement is defensible and contractually clear.
