Official Release Date: January 2, 2026
This notice outlines the structure, naming logic, purpose, licensing posture, and pricing rationale for the three active builds of The Faust Baseline. The intent is clarity, continuity, and respect for the audiences each build serves.
Hexis 2.4
Hexis is a Greek term meaning a stable disposition or underlying state. It describes posture rather than action — the condition that must exist before clear reasoning, truth exposure, or judgment can occur.
Hexis establishes grounding and orientation. It is the introductory layer of The Faust Baseline, but not a weakened or reduced version. Its role is to set posture, discipline, and internal steadiness for individuals engaging with the system.
Audience
General public, individual users, readers, and those seeking grounding and clarity without professional or institutional liability.
License & Price
Hexis 202.4 is issued as a lifetime license priced at $98. This reflects a respectful transition from its prior free release while preserving broad access and long-term stability.
Aletheia 2.5
Aletheia is the Greek concept of truth as unconcealment — what becomes visible when distortion, bias, and omission are removed.
Aletheia exists to surface truth clearly before judgment is applied. It is designed for environments where responsibility exists, but final authority or high-stakes judgment has not yet been exercised.
Audience
Educational institutions, churches, boards, committees, and small businesses seeking clarity, alignment, and ethical grounding in decision-making and governance.
License & Price
Aletheia 202.5 is issued as a per-version organizational license priced at $535. This positions it as an organizational tool — not a personal product — and reflects its use as a write-off-eligible governance and clarity framework.
Phronesis 2.6
Phronesis refers to practical wisdom — the ability to apply judgment correctly in real situations where consequences matter.
Phronesis is the highest tier of The Faust Baseline. It supports judgment under consequence and is intended only for high-responsibility environments.
Audience
Medicine, law, arbitration, and high-end commercial or institutional use, where decisions carry legal, ethical, financial, or human consequences.
License & Price
Phronesis 202.6 retains the established commercial pricing previously set and publicly communicated. Pricing is venue-weighted, reflecting the level of responsibility and consequence associated with its use.
Release Statement
All three builds — Hexis 202.4, Aletheia 202.5, and Phronesis 202.6 — are scheduled for formal release on January 2, 2026.
Each build is distinct in purpose, audience, and responsibility, forming a coherent progression: posture, truth, and judgment.
Unauthorized commercial use prohibited.
