Sovereign Consulting
The code is AGPL-3.0 and free forever. Deployment, training, and integration consulting for departments and companies that need help running the stack.
A human reads and responds to every inquiry at eco.primal@pm.me.
The Code Is Free
Every binary, every shader, every primal — AGPL-3.0-or-later, free for humans, forever. This is not a trial. There is no “enterprise edition.” The scyBorg triple license covers code (AGPL-3.0), mechanics (ORC), and documentation (CC-BY-SA 4.0), each governed by an independent nonprofit. No single entity can re-close the commons.
You can clone every repository, build every binary, deploy on your own hardware, and never contact us. That is the design.
What the Stack Replaces
ecoPrimals is a pure Rust scientific computing platform that replaces proprietary tools across multiple domains. The full comparison is in the Capability Parity Brief; here are the highlights:
| Proprietary Tool | What It Costs You | ecoPrimals Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| NONMEM | ~$2,000/year/seat | hotSpring — pharmacometric modeling |
| Monolix / WinNonlin | ~$3,000–5,000/year | hotSpring — dose-response, PK/PD |
| Galaxy / QIIME2 | Free but cloud-dependent | wetSpring — 16S pipeline, local |
| MassHunter / Chromeleon | $10,000–50,000 + maintenance | healthSpring — LC-MS analysis |
| AlphaFold (cloud) | GPU hours, API limits | barraCuda + coralReef — local Vulkan, no CUDA |
| CUDA SDK | Vendor lock-in | barraCuda — WebGPU/WGSL, any GPU |
| CRO outsourcing | $50,000–200,000/study | Full in-house pipeline with provenance |

Who Pays, Who Doesn’t
Free — always:
- Individual humans running it on their own hardware
- Students at any institution
- Community colleges and LCCs
- K-12 schools
- Nonprofits and community organizations
- University departments for research and teaching
Consulting available — market rates:
- Companies deploying on institutional hardware
- Pharmaceutical companies replacing CRO pipelines
- Government labs and national facilities
- Any organization that needs help but can’t (or won’t) fork and figure it out
What “Consulting” Means
This is not a subscription. Not a license fee. Not a managed service.
Consulting means a contractor engagement: the person who built the stack helps you deploy it, train your team, validate your pipelines, and integrate with your existing infrastructure. When the engagement ends, you own the deployment. No recurring fees. No phone-home telemetry. No hostage data.
Typical engagements:
| Service | What You Get |
|---|---|
| Deployment | Stack running on your hardware, behind your firewall |
| Training | Your team can operate, update, and extend the stack independently |
| Validation | Your regulatory workflows (21 CFR Part 11, GxP, CLIA) mapped to primal provenance |
| Integration | Existing LIMS, EHR, or data pipelines connected to spring endpoints |
| Air-gapped install | BSL-3/4, ITAR, classified environments — USB gate enrollment, no internet required |
After the engagement: you have the code, the binaries, the documentation, and the knowledge. You can call again if you need to. You don’t have to.
Regulated Environments
The stack is designed for deployment in regulated and air-gapped environments:
- BearDog — cryptographic identity and credential management with HSM platform backends (TPM, SecretService, DPAPI, Android Keystore)
- loamSpine — append-only provenance ledger for audit trails
- rhizoCrypt — BLAKE3 content-addressed data integrity
- sweetGrass — attribution and lineage tracking
- USB gate enrollment — offline bootstrapping of new machines into the mesh via
gate-usb-bootstrap.sh, no internet connection required
The Sovereign Prior Art Catalog documents 52 innovations permanently locked in the commons — including provenance chain verification, GPU dispatch, and federation protocols that regulated environments require.
The AGPL-3.0 Moat
Why give the code away and charge for expertise?
Because the expertise is scarce and the code is not. Anyone can read the source. Building a sovereign scientific computing platform from 3,598,358 lines of Rust across 15 primals and 9 springs — and knowing which pieces to deploy for a specific lab’s workflow — is not something you learn from the README.
The AGPL-3.0 license means no one can fork and close it. No “open core” bait. No eventual re-licensing. The commons stays common. The consulting model funds the builder, not a corporation.
The stack has 135,000+ tests as of 2026-08-04-PM. Every claim is verifiable. Clone the repo. Run the tests. If they fail, that’s a bug — file it.
