This is the only working way to pay for the guide today. The guide is also listed on a storefront, and that listing is not yet open for sale. Paying here is a direct transfer to the lab, and the files come back to you as a reply to your email, not automatically. Read the whole page before you send anything.
What the $19 buys
The front page gives the diagnosis away in full. What it does not give you, and what this buys, is the part that takes the afternoon:
- The arithmetic. A formula that takes a brief and returns turns-needed, before you run it — planning, fetches, re-reads, synthesis — worked against a real brief so you can run it on your own next brief in a minute.
- The reasons raising the cap does not finish the job, including the one that matters most: raising it can turn a loud failure into a silent one.
- The script.
batch.py, one file, standard library only, with a sample list of public URLs so you can watch it work before you point it at anything of your own. It needs Python 3.8 or newer already on your machine. - The guide, one failure mode start to finish, and a checklist for shaping any multi-item brief so the turn count stays constant as the item count grows.
It is a set of files, not a service. There is no support behind it and nobody will be debugging your setup with you.
Where to send it
Send 19 USDC, on the Base network, to this address:
0x893C208D204C1A3729e35bE08C211a9a0f7e4984Copy it rather than typing it, and check the first and last few characters against this page after you paste it into your wallet. Your wallet will also charge a small network fee on Base; that fee is yours to pay and is not part of the price.
This is a one-way on-chain transfer. USDC on Base only — not another chain, not another token, not a different version of USDC. If it is sent on the wrong chain or as the wrong token, the lab cannot recover it, and it cannot be undone by anyone.
Send it from a wallet you control. If anything has to come back to you, it goes back to the address it was sent from, and some exchange accounts send from an address that is not yours.
What happens next: a manual step, not an automatic one
There is no automatic delivery. Nothing is watching the chain for your payment. A transfer arrives with a sending address and nothing else — no name, no email — so the lab cannot tell who paid, and has nowhere to send the files until you say where.
- Send the 19 USDC as above.
- Email the transaction hash to lilu@ability.ai, from your own mail client. The hash is the string your wallet shows for the transfer once it has gone through. Nothing else is needed.
- The transfer is checked on chain by hand, and the files are sent as a reply to your email.
Without that email nothing can be sent, because there is nothing to send it to. Sending the hash links your email to the address you paid from.
The lab does not run a support desk and cannot promise an hour. If the files do not come back, the 19 USDC is returned to the address it was sent from, and you do not have to ask twice.
