What do I actually get for €99?
The ARIA desktop app (Windows / Mac / Linux), all 28 ARIA Plus tools, AND the Validation Agent (42 tools, 7 frameworks) bundled in. One installer. One payment. Yours forever — no subscription, no renewal.
Does Validation really run on my machine?
Yes — 100% local. The frameworks execute on your CPU. Your decisions, your data, your verdicts never leave your hardware. No cloud round-trip, no telemetry on what you validate. Verifiable by pulling the network cable mid-validation — it keeps running.
Do I need to know which framework to use?
No. You describe the decision; the Orchestration layer routes it to the right frameworks automatically. You will see which ones fired in the verdict — that is output, not input. Names like Nash Equilibrium and Monte Carlo are receipts you can read, not knobs you have to turn.
Is the math a black box?
No. Every framework, every tool, every formula is documented in the whitepaper. Every verdict ships with the frameworks applied, the assumptions made, and the findings behind every claim. You can inspect it, replicate it, or argue with it — it isn't a vibes generator dressed in equations.
What does "buy once" actually mean? Will it die in 2 years?
You own the version you bought, forever. ARIA's first-time setup needs a one-time activation; after that it runs fully offline — no monthly check-in, no per-month fee, no commercial kill switch. If we vanish tomorrow, your install keeps working with the version and tools you have.
What hardware do I need?
Any machine with 8GB RAM and a modern CPU (2018+). No GPU required — the 7 frameworks are deterministic math, not deep-learning models. Bigger machines run faster, but a €400 laptop runs the math.
How is Validation different from the other Genesis agents?
Validation is the cognitive agent — it judges decisions. Sales, Accounting, Operations, Communication and the rest are operational agents — they execute work. Most users start with Validation because every other agent's output is downstream of a decision; better to make the right call before automating around it.
