# Coulomb Pricing (MVP)

Project-specific material for the Coulomb Social Economic Observatory MVP.

Generic adaptive-pricing framework concepts belong in the repository root
(`INTENT.md`, `docs/`, `research/`, `registry/`). Execution tracking:
`workplans/ADAPTIVE-WP-0002-economic-observatory-mvp.md`.

Liquidity and cost requirements: `REQUIREMENTS.md`.

## Sprint 1 — Economic Foundations

The `observatory/` package loads JSON registries and produces **Economics
Dashboard v1** with platform-cost history, member payments, and budget burn.

| Registry | File |
|----------|------|
| Budget (€1,000 start) | `data/budget.json` |
| Product model | `data/product.json` |
| Pricing models | `data/pricing-models.json` |
| Platform costs + history | `data/costs.json` |
| Member payments | `data/revenue.json` |
| Membership | `data/membership.json` |

**Current reality:** platform costs from March 2025; sole member payments from
November 2025. Operator is **burning liquidity** — platform spend exceeds
subscription intake. Customer cost-pass-through billing is not active.

### Commands

```bash
cd projects/coulomb-pricing
python3 -m pytest -q
python3 -m observatory --period 2026-06
python3 -m observatory --period 2026-06 --output reports/economics-2026-06.md
```

Manual registries will be replaced by Bubble (Sprint 2), Stripe (Sprint 3), and
OpenRouter (Sprint 4) importers.
