Stewardship Pricing
An Investment In Permanence.
Basalith is priced as what it is — a generational asset under professional stewardship. Not a software subscription. Not a storage plan. A governed legacy infrastructure with legal standing.
The Founding
Every Basalith archive begins with The Founding — a comprehensive legal and technical engagement that establishes your archive’s permanent infrastructure. Executed once. Built to last centuries.
Archive Architecture Build
Your permanent digital estate structure, configured for generational transfer and legal standing.
Legal Instrument Review
Compatibility assessment with your existing will, trust, and estate documents. Attorney-ready output.
Family Network Initialization
Contributor onboarding for up to 15 family members. Roles assigned. Access levels configured. Documented.
Founding Essence Session
Your first live family labeling session, guided by a Senior Archivist. 90 minutes. This is where it becomes real.
AI-Processed Data Migration
Import from existing photo libraries, documents, and digital archives. Every photograph filtered, deduplicated, dated, and sequenced by our AI pipeline before it reaches the labeling interface.
Custodian Designation
Your archive's legal custodian assigned and documented with formal estate standing.
Upon completion of The Founding,
Your archive exists as a legal asset documented in your estate plan.
Your family has authenticated access with roles, permissions, and continuity.
Your Custodian is designated and has formal standing to govern the archive.
Your first Essence data is indexed, attributed, and stored with legal provenance.

All plans require The Founding — a one-time setup investment of $2,500.
The Founding includes archive initialization, legal framework review, your first Essence Mapping session, and Custodian designation.
“The Founding is not a setup fee. It is a legal and technical engagement executed by a Senior Archivist — the same way an estate attorney executes a trust.
You leave The Founding with six deliverables, a designated Custodian, and an archive that exists in your estate plan.”
All Archives Carry Legal Standing From Day One

By Invitation of Intent
Basalith Is Not For Everyone.
It is for the rare few who understand that memory is an asset — and that leaving it unarchived is a choice with consequences their family will live with long after they are gone.
Archives are accepted on a rolling basis.
