Business Model

The easy recognition of the pain point through examples, and our ability to graphically illustrate concrete point solutions through a website, leads us to believe that LogicMaps can be sold directly through the website without any sales force contact. There are no new skills to learn, and no training necessary. External marketing should be directed toward creating awareness of and bringing views to the website.

LogicMaps is written entirely in Java, and is inherently transactional. You submit the text of rules, it returns a directory of HTML pages which implement the LogicMaps. There is no server state to remember, so it can be hosted remotely (Software as a Service) as a functional lambda instance at very low cost per transaction.

A single website serves as both the marketing vehicle and as the portal through which one accesses the service. We plan to offer the usual free trials and paid subscriptions through this website.

We are looking at a price point similar to current chatBot subscriptions ($20/month). This is low enough to be easily expensed on a credit card by legal professionals. We will develop bulk pricing plans for firms as we better understand how it is used. Our biggest uncertainty at present is the per-token cost of the OpenAI API. To keep GPT o1-mini focused on the problem at hand, we have to let it generate lots of Chain of Thought commentary, so our per-token costs can be relatively high.
