Flagship lane
Cloud-cost lane
One project scope, one UTC day, one bounded batch of integerized cloud-cost values — settled by a deterministic STATS_V1 proof.
What it is
One operator-assisted lane
The flagship commitment under Northset v1.1 is one operator-assisted cloud-cost lane. A cloud-cost task is bounded to one project or account scope, one UTC day, and one batch of integerized cost values. The outcome is a deterministic STATS_V1 summary with proof-gated settlement.
Economics
Frozen envelope, 1% fee
Within the STATS_V1 cloud-cost lane, the frozen economics envelope is maxRewardUSDC = 5, selected rewardUSDC between 1.5 and 5, and bondUSDC = 10 (all in USDC). The global protocol fee is 100 basis points (1 percent).
What it is not
Explicit exclusions
Not a generic STATS demo detached from cloud-cost reporting. Not full cloud reconciliation, anomaly detection, percentiles, or multi-day analytics. Not a self-serve browser settlement console — create/select-only is the ceiling. Not a new verifier family, a contract-economics reopen, or a redeployment effort.
STATS anchor rule
Cloud-cost is the only interactive anchor
Within the STATS verifier family, cloud-cost is the only externally-approved lane and the only interactive flagship anchor. Benchmark-run, endpoint-hour latency, and site-day energy remain portfolio breadth only and do not inherit cloud-cost approval wording.

Walkthrough on app.northset.ai
The walkthrough app at app.northset.ai shows the operator-assisted browser create/select path over the local-42161 mechanics environment, with Arbitrum One used as the live authenticity anchor for addresses, deploy transactions, and ownership evidence. Activation, proof submission, timeout handling, and fallback continuity stay operator-assisted.
