Split infrastructure vs payment-processing costs. Liquidity burn now uses infrastructure cash out only (€1,155.20 cumulative) because Stripe fees are already deducted from net member payments. Total platform cost (€1,158.24) remains visible for gross-margin economics.
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:

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.

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