Usage reference · PUBXX 1.0 Generation billed in ZDR Release billed in PPT

How ZDR and PPT meter PUBXX 1.0 — per model, per unit, the way model usage is normally priced.

PUBXX 1.0 and its models are not metered in abstract compute units. Each model's generation is billed in ZDR, the production token, and each finished edition's release across SEW Capital's distribution channels is billed in PPT, the settlement token. This page sets out that unit pricing, model by model, the way a usage page for any AI model would. It is an operational reference. It is not an offer, not a solicitation, and not investment content.

How billing works

Two tokens, two stages — the same split other model pricing pages draw between generation and serving.

A usage page for a hosted AI model usually separates what it costs to generate an output from what it costs to serve or deliver it. PUBXX 1.0's usage splits the same way, except the two stages are billed in two different tokens rather than two rates of the same one.

ZDR — generate
Spent per model, per unit, to produce a finished draft
PPT — release
Spent per edition to settle its release across distribution channels
Per model
Each of the five models has its own generation rate
No bundling
Editorial review and registration are priced as separate add-ons

The figures on this page are unit-cost figures for using PUBXX 1.0's models — how much ZDR and PPT a given draft or release uses — not a statement of what ZDR or PPT are worth as assets. See Scope.

Model pricing

Generation and release cost, by model.

The source manuscript and the prompt that go into a model are not separately metered — the ZDR cost below covers the full single-prompt generation, start to finished draft, as described on the PUBXX 1.0 page. The PPT cost covers settling that finished edition's release across SEW Capital's owned distribution channels.

Unit figures are illustrative token-usage rates for documentation purposes, consistent with the itemised costs described on the ZDR and PPT pages. They are not quotes, and current rates should be confirmed on the platform itself.

Add-ons

Priced separately from generation, not bundled into a model's rate.

A model's ZDR generation cost covers the single-prompt draft only. Anything beyond that — human review, the identifiers a work needs to be sellable, or adding to an existing title — is metered on its own.

Editorial review

+1 ZDR / 10,000 words, finished hour, episode or issue

Optional human sign-off on a model's draft before release. Not required to receive a finished draft from any model, and priced on top of generation rather than included in it.

Registration

1 ZDR / identifier

ISBN or ISSN registration, barcode generation and ONIX metadata deposit for a new title — a one-off cost per work, not per model run.

Extension

Standard generation rate, no registration fee

Adding a format, language or instalment to an already-registered title runs through the same model at its standard ZDR rate, without a second registration charge.

Revision pass

Standard generation rate per re-run

Returning to a model with a revised prompt is billed as a new single-prompt generation at that model's standard rate — there is no separate "edit" tier.

A billed request

Where ZDR and PPT are each spent in one pass.

The flow below shows the two billing points in a single request to any model in the PUBXX 1.0 family.

01

Manuscript and prompt submitted

No charge at this step — the source file and the instruction are not separately metered.

02

ZDR is spent to generate

The model's per-unit ZDR rate is charged once the finished draft is returned, start to finish, from the single prompt.

03

Optional add-ons, if requested

Editorial review or registration, if wanted, are billed in ZDR on top of generation — not automatically applied.

04

PPT is spent to release

Settling the finished edition's release across SEW Capital's distribution channels is billed in PPT, separate from the ZDR generation cost.

Worked example

One title, three formats, one language edition.

Illustrative only, using the unit rates above. Not a quote, and not a forecast of what any specific title will cost to produce.

An 80,000-word novel, as ebook, audiobook and one translated ebook edition

Source manuscript: 80,000 words (8 units of 10,000 words). Audiobook assumed at 8 finished hours. One additional language via Lingua, reviewed before release.

32 ZDR
Prose — 8 × 10,000 words at 4 ZDR
96 ZDR
Narrate — 8 finished hours at 12 ZDR
24 ZDR
Lingua — 8 × 10,000 words at 3 ZDR
8 ZDR
Editorial review on the Lingua edition, 8 units at 1 ZDR

Total to generate: 160 ZDR. Total to release all three editions across distribution: 5 PPT (1.5 + 2 + 1), plus 1 ZDR for the title's original ISBN registration.

This example is for illustration only. Word counts, run times and language counts vary by work, and actual usage should be confirmed against current rates on the platform itself.

Scope

What this page is — and what it isn't.

Usage pricing, not asset pricing

This page describes how much ZDR and PPT the PUBXX 1.0 models use — a unit-cost reference, in the same spirit as a usage page for any hosted AI model. It is not a prospectus, not an offer, not a solicitation, and not a recommendation to acquire, hold or dispose of ZDR or PPT.

Not a market-value statement. Nothing on this page is a statement about what ZDR or PPT are worth, their price, return expectations, yield or appreciation. Utility is not the same as value, and this page is limited to usage.

Illustrative rates. The unit figures here are documentation examples consistent with the itemised costs described on the ZDR and PPT insight pages. They are not live quotes. Confirm current rates on the platform itself before relying on them.

Nothing here should be read as financial, legal or tax advice.
