Publish & monetize

Build it once.
Bill every install.

That receipt on the left is one stackbone publish run — package, upload, build, promote. The image it promotes becomes a template any company can install, and every install is its own isolated, billed instance — own database, storage, queues and bill.

01 · The artifact
live · cross-tenant from MVP

Publish promotes a signed image to the registry and records it as the live digest. One template, billed per install.

One publish, N separate debits — each install's one_time_fee posts to that org's own subscription, so the creator gets paid per install. Illustrative sample postings, not real customers; the creator sets the real fee at publish.
