Is Netherite worth running as a client service?

The evidence supports Netherite as a low-setup, hours-to-value scanner that fits agencies shipping AI-generated code and wanting a reviewable security deliverable, with agent-ready fix prompts as its standout capability. What remains unknown is vendor tier pricing, agency labor cost, and client willingness to pay, so any ROI claim is unmodeled.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
