Ambassador program
If you compress real-world structured data and care about ratio, a +1-byte never-worse safety floor, and audit-grade byte-exact verification, join the founding ambassadors. Test on your own data, refer paying users, or lead a domain.
Three tracks
Run the compression racer on your real data. Report a ratio that surprises you, a bug, or a domain where Pedulli loses. Reward: a lifetime API credit allocation and early access to new releases. Exact credit amounts are confirmed per tester as the program rolls out.
Bring paying API customers. Reward: a recurring referral commission on accounts you bring (target: 30% recurring on three or more paid accounts) plus a larger API credit allocation. Commission terms are confirmed in writing when your referrals convert.
Bring a vertical (aerospace, biotech, finance, medical, media archival, scientific computing) and help shape a domain-tuned configuration. Reward: the largest API credit allocation, founder-direct support, and an advisory discussion if scope warrants.
Rewards are part of an early program and are confirmed individually before they become binding. We will honor what we commit to in writing, and we would rather under-promise than over-promise.
