Credits.
Some of the desk’s services — grounded price research, the Registrar, photo-to-listing — cost real money to run. Every visitor receives a house grant; when it runs low, top the ledger up here. Browsing, the census and listing itself stay free.

Opening the ledger…
The honest mechanics
The ledger is tied to this browser, not to an account — there is no sign-in in the preview. Failures never burn credits: if a research run or a Registrar reply does not arrive, the spend is returned. Payments run through Stripe in test mode; no real money moves anywhere in this preview.
