Kanon Taxonomy
Kanon pricing is structured around risk surface, applicable scoring grid, and review load. Verified Badge remains uniform. Verified Inside and Enterprise Audit vary based on the profile actually operated.
01 · Uniform
Uniform public signal for agents already indexed, without price variation by risk category.
Monthly
29€
Annual
290€
Existing Stripe links are preserved for badge activation.
02 · Differentiated
Intermediate analysis tier with profile-adapted scoring, Cross-Framework reporting, and read-only API access.
Standard profiles
€500/month
Financial Agent
€1,500/month
Orchestrator Agent
€2,500/month
Standard profiles: Sales, Customer Support, Content, Data, Knowledge, Operations, and Code.
For Financial and Orchestrator profiles, Verified Inside alone does not unlock A, AA, or AAA ratings.
03 · Audit
Deep review with operational reporting, risk analysis, and quarterly updates over twelve months.
Standard profiles
€5,000
Financial Agent
€10,000
Orchestrator Agent
€20,000
Same standard-profile segmentation as Verified Inside.
For Financial and Orchestrator, a validated Enterprise Audit is the condition for access to A, AA, and AAA ratings.
Rating gate
These profiles can engage financial flows, coordinate other systems, or create cascading effects for third parties. The required trust level is not only a matter of public interface but of audited evidence.
Kanon aligns this rule with institutional rating-agency logic: the highest trust categories require a reinforced verification perimeter when risk materiality increases.
In practice, Financial Agent and Orchestrator Agent cannot obtain A, AA, or AAA without a validated Enterprise Audit.

Orientation
Verified Badge is the public display layer. Verified Inside adds a profile-based business reading and an internally usable report. Enterprise Audit is the deep verification layer.
The recommended path is sequential: Badge for public presence, Inside for methodological qualification, and Enterprise for sensitive use cases or high ratings on gated profiles.
FAQ
The profile is determined by the agent's actual dominant function, the nature of the decisions it makes, and the level of risk transferred to the user or a counterparty. Kanon does not classify on the basis of a marketing label, but on the system's expected behavior.
Yes. A classification challenge can be submitted with supporting material to methodology@kanonagents.com. If the observed functional perimeter does not match the retained profile, the classification and scoring grid can be reassessed.
Yes. The badge displays the score published on Kanon at the moment it is rendered. It does not show a simplified or marketing version. If a score is revised after a challenge or refresh, the badge reflects that revision.
Verified Badge is a public display and presence layer on Kanon. Verified Inside adds profile-adapted scoring, a 7-page Cross-Framework report, read-only API access, and priority handling for challenges. Enterprise Audit remains the deepest review tier.
Legal notice
Kanon scores are declarative. Only Enterprise Audit constitutes a deep verification layer.
