Pricing Your Investigation: Catalog Sub vs Pay-Per-View
Key Takeaways PPV Best for a single deep piece strangers will buy once. Catalog sub Best when your beat produces a stream of work fans will renew for.

Why the Evidence Board Is Premium (and Free Still Works)
Key Takeaways The split Investigation text can stay free; the interactive board is the Premium layer. Soft-lock A soft-lock teases the board — it is not the same as hiding the article body behind checkout. On Gnosis See plans on Pricing; creators can still publish free work that earns trust.

What stays free on purpose A free investigation can still state a claim, show key excerpts, and link sources. That is the newsroom standard we practice on Gnosis News : readers should be able to check you. If the only honest version of the story is locked, you do not have a free investigation — you have a teaser ad. What Premium unlock… -
