Is rypt worth running as a client service?

The evidence supports a viable managed encryption service for agencies building applications with sensitive client data: transparent per-key vendor pricing from $0.00 to $3+, a documented REST API, SDK and CLI paths, and an append-only audit log. What remains unknown is what agencies can charge clients, labor requirements, and per-client usage volume, so ROI cannot be modeled from the supplied data.

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