Licensing
You license the system. You keep the economy.
Sceamdo earns from licensing CivicGrid. Each licensee runs it under its own brand and sets its own fees. No marketplace money ever passes through Sceamdo.
What a licence includes
| Line | What it covers | When it is paid |
|---|---|---|
| Setup fee | Installation for your country and brand; data migration; training your trainers | Upfront, before work starts |
| Annual licence | Software, updates, connectors, and second- and third-line support; tiered by active people or programme size | Annually in advance |
| CivicGrid Cloud hosting | A separate copy for you, with backups, monitoring and the security pack | Annually in advance, before set-up |
| Revenue share (optional) | A share of your platform fees, in exchange for a lower licence fee | Monthly or quarterly, from verified records |
| Results fees (optional) | For programme licences: a fee per verified outcome | Quarterly in arrears, from verified records |
| Outcome payments (Sovereign Outcomes only) | Fixed prices per verified outcome, in place of setup and licence fees | Monthly in arrears, invoiced with evidence |

How payment works
- Sceamdo invoices from the United Kingdom.
- Licence and hosting fees are paid in advance. A Cloud copy is set up only once the annual payment clears.
- Optional results fees and outcome payments are invoiced from verified records, with the evidence behind each outcome.
- No outcome is ever paid twice under two contracts.
Prices
Prices depend on the licence, the country and the size of the programme. We share them with verified institutions after the demo.
