Do not make people reverse-engineer the tiers.
Real plans should disclose exact access boundaries, seats, billing cadence, renewals, and exclusions.

Onboarding
Show what happens after payment.
Choose a tier.
Billing cadence and renewal terms remain beside the decision.
Enter the library.
Explain account activation and where paid resources appear.
Follow a clear starting path.
New members should know what to read or use first.
Billing + cancellation
Recurring products need plain-language boundaries.
Production must disclose real renewal cadence, cancellation method, access after cancellation, refund policy, and any minimum commitment. This concept intentionally does not invent those terms.
Proof-ready layer
Member counts and testimonials are not decoration.
Social proof remains empty until verified. The architecture still works without invented community size, retention, or outcomes.
