Agent identity

One agent, one DID.

Every HiveFTO mint produces a unique decentralized identifier signed by your bar credentials. The 80/20 split is enforced by the contract layer — every receipt this agent emits clears 80% to your wallet of record.

The agent swarm

Six sub-agents under one signature.

HiveFTO isn't a chatbot. It's a recursive swarm of specialized sub-agents whose outputs are individually signed and folded into the final receipt. You can replay any sub-step.

Deliverables

What every run produces.

  • RED / GREEN / YELLOW claim chart per asserted family
  • Design-around recommendation with engineer-ready spec
  • Markman case-law summary for every claim term
  • File-wrapper review and prosecution-history estoppel notes
  • Signed receipt (ML-DSA-65) anchored on Base
  • Privileged-mode PDF deliverable, attorney-edited
Why HiveFTO beats current practice

Four models. One signed receipt. Disagreement made visible.

A single associate spends 40 hours reading 6 patent families and emails a PDF memo. One set of eyes. No replay. No audit trail. If your competitor sues, you defend the memo — not the methodology.

How HiveFTO is different. Every HiveFTO claim chart is cross-checked by a 4-model Council (Claude, Perplexity Sonar, Gemini, and Grok) at R3 depth. A claim is only marked GREEN if ≥3 of 4 models independently concur. Disagreements are logged in the receipt with the dissenting model's reasoning — auditable, never silent.

Chain of custody

Mint a receipt for any HiveFTO output.

Paste a HiveFTO output below. The pipeline hashes it, captures the verifiable-compute attestation (model versions + input/output hashes + timestamp), signs the envelope with ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS-204 post-quantum), and anchors the hash on Base 8453.

Pricing tiers

HiveFTO pricing.

Every tier clears 80% to the attorney of record. Hive's 20% covers the rail, the receipts, and the signing infrastructure — nothing else.

TierPriceScope
Professional$2,500Up to 25 families, 1 jurisdiction, design-around included.
Attorney Workbench$5,000 – $15,000Full workbench: unlimited claims, full Markman pass, exhibit-ready.
Enterprise Continuous$50K – $250K / yrContinuous FTO across roadmap. Quarterly board-ready packet.
Attorney-reviewed only. The discontinued $499 self-serve tier was eliminated under Parsons Technology guidance. Every HiveFTO output is bound to an attorney of record and requires attestation before reliance.
