Budget & Quality Control
No paid generation without approval.
The Cost Governor enforces the current build-stage policy: prototype output only, with the global paid-generation budget locked at zero until the system is ready for controlled activation.
Build and validate the full workflow with temporary or zero-cost providers.
Approved early public episodes with verified rights and controlled production costs.
Premium provider route for proven episodes with performance justification.
Highest-quality output with complete provenance and commercial rights evidence.
This page reports real budget and quality-mode records from Postgres. Mode-switching actions are intentionally not exposed yet. A production control must enforce rights clearance, provider configuration, budget approval and audit logging before any paid workflow can run.
