The agent swarm

Six sub-agents under one signature.

HiveLicense 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.

Court-accepted FRAND methodology library

Six methodologies. Fifteen anchor rates. One receipt.

Every HiveLicense royalty range references the methodology a federal court actually accepted. The comp deck is mined from public license filings (SEC EX-10), SEP declarations (ETSI, IEEE LOA, 3GPP), and court damages orders. No ktMINE required to hit 85.

Why HiveLicense beats current practice

Four models. Six methodologies. One signed receipt.

License negotiations rely on comparable rate decks the licensor controls. The licensee rarely has its own model. The negotiation is asymmetric from minute one — and ktMINE / RoyaltySource subscriptions cost $25K–$80K/yr per seat.

How HiveLicense is different. HiveLicense's 4-model Council mines the comp deck from public SEC EX-10 filings, ETSI/IEEE SEP declarations, USPTO Assignment "consideration" fields, and CourtListener RECAP damages orders. Every comp is scored for similarity to your asset across 8 vectors. The royalty range is the median of three court-accepted methodologies with confidence bands — you walk in with arithmetic, not adjectives.

Chain of custody

Mint a receipt for any HiveLicense output.

Paste a HiveLicense 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.
