Engagement Tier	Deliverable
🏛️ Archive Patron – £0.01 to £25	Your support is acknowledged as a contribution to a specific research cycle, logged pseudonymously in the vault's public history. A direct investment in open research.
🧬 Framework Commission – £100	Receive a private artifact: a custom-generated blueprint, AI scaffold, or a documented extension of an existing framework (e.g., UMACO Loss adaptation, RUT simulation parameter set, A tailored existing work to your domain).
🌌 Strategic Consultation – £500	Give me your hardest problem to solve, Optimize your code, clean your dataset, compile a full Latex report on anything you desire. I will also acquire any skills needed to accomplish the task. delivered within 2–3 weeks (Time scales dependent on my current jobs and stress levels)

This structure is for founders, researchers, and systems architects who require novel solutions to complex problems. It is not for life coaching or casual inquiries.
