What this looks like in dollars

Same destination-charge math across every legal category.

Firms see one invoice at the quoted rate. Vendors net the quote minus the 5% commission. Scope never bills the firm.

Court reporting

Full-day deposition in San Francisco. Realtime + expedited transcript.

Optional add-ons

None of these affect the core pricing above.

All opt-in, all usage-priced if you choose to use them. Core dispatch stays free for firms regardless of which add-ons exist.

For vendors (optional)
Embedded payments

~75 bps fee for vendors who want Scope to handle invoicing-and-transfer end-to-end. Invisible to firms.

Instant-pay financing

Optional ~2% discount for 24-hour payout instead of standard Stripe timing. Founding vendors get reduced rates first.

For AI platforms (separate billing)
MCP per-call pricing

AI-platform integrators (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, vertical AI like Harvey or CoCounsel) pay Scope per dispatch tool call. Plaid-style metering. Billed to the AI platform, not to the firm or vendor.

Included for firms

Vendor governance, delivered through your AI.

Scope is a vendor-governance system of record on top of the dispatch layer. Every credential, every awarded engagement, every state change, every spend rollup is queryable through the same MCP tools your AI already uses to dispatch.

Vendor governance

Per-vendor COI, W-9, insurance, BAA, and on-time status. Append-only audit log per matter.

scope_vendor_healthscope_credential_alertsscope_roster_audit
"Which vendors have COIs expiring in the next 60 days?"
Spend intelligence

Awarded-bid spend aggregated by vendor, category, matter type, jurisdiction, or scope, over any date window.

scope_spend_rollup
"Show Q2 spend on court reporting, broken out by vendor."
Matter intelligence

Portfolio bucketed by what needs attention. Full event chain per matter for compliance review or export.

scope_briefingscope_roster_audit
"What matters need a decision this morning?"
Market intelligence

Cohort-density-gated rate ranges per category and jurisdiction. Aggregate-only; never per-org identifiers.

scope_market_rate_compare(roadmap)
"Is $5/page reasonable for a deposition transcript in N.D. Cal?"

All of the above included for firms at $0. Same tools available on both /api/mcp/legal and /api/mcp/claims transports.

Common questions

Wait, so firms really never pay Scope?
Correct. Firms pay vendors at the vendor's quoted rate, via Stripe Connect. Scope's take rate comes out of the vendor's side of the awarded quote. The firm sees one invoice, from the vendor, at the quoted rate. The structural reason: ABA Rule 5.4 prohibits fee-sharing with non-lawyers. Scope never touches the lawyer-client fee transaction. We process the firm-to-vendor B2B payment and take a commission from the vendor side only.
Why take rate instead of subscription?
Subscriptions charge you whether you win work or not. Take rate aligns the platform with vendor success: we earn only when vendors earn. The founding rate of 5% on a $5,000 deposition award is $250. You set your own bid price; the take comes off the top of awarded work.
When do I actually pay?
Vendors pay the take rate only on awarded engagements, after the buyer confirms the work as complete. Firms do not pay Scope anything - now or after the founding window closes. The optional buyer-side premium analytics is usage-priced only if a firm opts in.
What if we already have vendors we like?
Use roster mode. Mark your existing reporting agency, IME panel, and expert network as primary or backup. New requests route to them first while the broader marketplace stays available as a fallback. Same vendors, same rates, completely different workflow.
Is there a contract or commitment period?
No. Either side can leave at any time. There's no annual MSA, no minimum spend, no early-termination fee. You can export your matter history and your verified-reputation record as a portable JSON or PDF on the way out.
Where does my data sit?
In a Supabase Postgres cluster (US-East). Row-level security per organization, encrypted OAuth tokens at rest, SOC 2 Type I in progress. Compliance and trust details live on the trust page.
If our team uses Claude or Microsoft Copilot, does that change pricing?
No. You don't pay for AI dispatch through Scope. The AI platform you use (whatever it is) handles its own subscription independently. When AI integrators pay Scope per-call later, that bills to them, not to you.
How long does the founding rate stay locked?
12 months from your activation date as a founding partner. After that, 5% (legal) / 7% (claims) remains the floor rate for partners who maintain category volume. The standard rate (7% legal, 10% claims) only applies to vendors who don't qualify for or don't want founding terms.
How exclusive is "MSA-level exclusivity"?
Each founding partner gets exclusivity in one MSA per vendor category. We cap the founding cohort at 20vendors per category nationally. If you're the founding court reporting partner in Los Angeles, no other founding court reporting partner gets LA. Founding partners in adjacent metros (San Diego, Bakersfield, etc.) are separate slots within the same 20-per-category cap.
