One bear, one subscription, no upsell. The hardware is priced at cost-plus-foundry, the subscription pays for voice and the journal, and the family pack is what we charge when a household brings in a Child Specialist.

§ 01 · WHY THESE NUMBERS

The toy is priced at what it costs to cast, finish, and ship one. Companion pays for the daily loop and the dashboard. Child Specialist pays the vetted on-call bench. Skill Mentor pays the curated human you chose. There is no enterprise tier hidden behind a sales call, no per-question metering, no surprise overage. If the household pauses Companion, the toy still works as a warm presence, never deactivated.
