Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'per-assessment' model? Why not a subscription?

Aura is priced on the value of the decision being informed, not seat count. A PE deal team running one $500M acquisition doesn't need a monthly plan — they need one rigorous assessment. A VC running 20 deals per year buys assessments as needed. Subscriptions make sense for tools used daily; assessments make sense for high-stakes decisions made quarterly or per-deal.

What does an 'assessment' include?

A single assessment covers one repository (Deal tier: up to 5). It produces a full LRS, 10-dimensional SVR, CCR heatmap, gap register, Monte Carlo failure probability (Due Diligence and above), and a prioritised remediation list. The result is immutable and carries a W3C PROV-DM provenance record.

How long does an assessment take?

Most repositories complete in under 1 hour. Repositories up to 500k lines of code are covered within the SLA. The assessment runs asynchronously — you submit the repo URL and receive the report when complete.

Is my source code stored?

No. Aura clones the repository to an ephemeral assessment environment, analyses structural metadata only, then wipes the clone. Only derived artifacts (CCR scores, LRS, SVR) are retained. Your source code is never written to Aura's database.

What is the LRS and how is it calculated?

The Launch Readiness Score (0–100) is a weighted composition of 10 survivability dimensions (S_arc, S_ops, S_ux, S_k, S_change, S_fail, S_data, S_cog, S_econ, S_sec). Each dimension is scored by a dedicated engine. The composition uses a CCR-weighted formula. The algorithm is fully documented and independently verifiable — not a black box.

What does 'legally defensible' mean in practice?

Every Aura assessment generates a W3C PROV-DM provenance record: the commit SHA assessed, all intermediate scores, the Closure Contract version, engine execution log, and a cryptographic timestamp. This record has been designed to satisfy legal discovery requirements and can be cited in M&A deal documentation, SEC cyber risk disclosures (10-K), and IP litigation.

What is the VCRS (Vibe Coding Risk Score)?

The VCRS is Aura's novel metric for detecting LLM/AI-generated codebases from static repository analysis. As AI-generated code becomes common in acquisition targets, the VCRS identifies repos with LLM-written code and unenforced quality processes — a material risk factor for any deal. Included in Due Diligence tier and above.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. Your first Scan-tier assessment is free, no credit card required. This produces a full LRS with SVR breakdown and remediation list for one repository. Subsequent Scan assessments are $499 each.

What is the ROI case for the $24,900 Deal tier?

Manual technical due diligence for a software acquisition costs $50k–$200k in advisory fees and takes 2–4 weeks, producing a non-reproducible opinion. Aura's Deal assessment costs $24,900, completes in under 4 hours, and produces a deterministic, re-runnable report. On a $50M deal, the advisory fee comparison alone justifies the cost. One prevented bad acquisition justifies years of assessments.

When is Enterprise the right tier?

Enterprise is designed for Fortune 500 and regulated industries that require on-premise deployment (no code leaving their perimeter), SAML/SSO, continuous governance (LRS as a PR gate), and SOC 2 / SEC compliance mapping. Enterprise requires Phase 5 delivery (Docker deployment + SAML) — contact us to discuss readiness and timeline.
