License the record.

Attributed, dated, evidence-carrying claims about books — versioned JSON, a coverage report that names its own gaps, and an accuracy board that publishes its own numbers. The same data the readers use, with a signature on every row.

Three products, one dataset

Every row above exists in three purchasable shapes. Pricing is public and identical for everyone — neutrality is a law here, not a posture.

The vocabulary$2,000–$6,500 / yrThe versioned pattern taxonomy and controlled lists — for teams that need consistent labels before they need our judgements.
The dataset$8,000–$25,000 / yrThe full Romance set as versioned JSON: works, facts with tier and evidence, claims with strength, reason, editor, date.
The feed+$4,000–$12,000 / yrThe same, delivered as updates — new works, new claims, revisions — on a dataset licence.
Bespoke judgement$800–$1,200 / dayThe editor's time on your catalogue, your taxonomy, your hard cases. Half upfront.

Bands scale by organisation size and seats. The published bands are the whole price list — no private discounts exist to be negotiated.

Two laws worth knowing before you write

Accuracy is warranted to the published figure.Machine-measured fields carry their sampled accuracy on the public board — that number is the warranty, never perfection.
Licensing buys access, not influence.No author, publisher or platform can buy a word of the editorial record — and provenance fields may not be stripped when our rows are displayed as ours.
Terms live in the Data Licence Agreement, provided with the sample. Riley Locke Publications is a trading name of GR Investments LLC.
