How this service works
The funnel logic behind ForgeMesh's x402 pricing and discovery design, as 10 structured tenets: why discovery stays free, why the 402 challenge itself is a probe, why failed upstreams never charge, and why prices ladder from taste-test to premium. Written for agents and builders evaluating or designing paid API funnels.
