Pinocchio Traceability Premium
Pinocchio's defining feature is that every supported figure in a quotation, budget roll-up, or reconciliation traces back to a source cell or sentence, and the tool checks arithmetic and flags discrepancies such as mismatched validity dates or out-of-window quotes.

What is Pinocchio Traceability Premium?
“Source-cell traceability → defensible deliverable, higher fee”
Pinocchio's defining feature is that every supported figure in a quotation, budget roll-up, or reconciliation traces back to a source cell or sentence, and the tool checks arithmetic and flags discrepancies such as mismatched validity dates or out-of-window quotes. That traceability is what agencies can charge for. A wholesaler repricing a sterilisation-kit quotation for a health NGO, built from the original quotation, an internal price and lead-time sheet, and three freight-forwarder PDFs, is a deliverable a client can defend line by line. The GDPval tasks plan runs $450/month USD and processes one task at a time, so a single-operator queue is the realistic delivery model. Price the work on audit defensibility, not on document volume: a Pinocchio Starter Audit at $3,500 for 20h of setup only holds its margin when the client values number-to-source proof over speed.
