Is Sharpniq worth running as a client service?

The evidence supports Sharpniq as a low-complexity, privacy-conscious single-image unblurring utility that an agency can deliver as a managed service. What remains unknown is the dollar cost of Cloud Unblur Credits, actual delivery labor per image, and whether clients will pay enough to sustain the service, since no client pricing or ROI inputs are published.

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