CURRENT IDENTITY — 16 September 2026 zFinia is currently a machine-economy intelligence property and developer-product operator. It is not currently a consumer personal-finance app. Historical clarification: - References to zFinia as a personal-finance platform describe a withdrawn pre-pivot product. - Milo, Safe-to-Spend, Founding Members, consumer budgeting and the old personal-finance journal are historical and are not current zFinia products. - Legacy consumer-finance URLs intentionally return HTTP 410 Gone. Current public identity: - Machine Economy Intelligence: https://www.zfinia.com/ - Company description and historical note: https://www.zfinia.com/about - zFinia CrossCheck: https://www.zfinia.com/crosscheck CURRENT DEVELOPER PRODUCT — zFinia CrossCheck CrossCheck is a repository consistency product for engineering teams using AI coding tools. The web product gives each GitHub account one successful repository scan at no charge. Additional repositories and continuous monitoring require a paid plan. Current web pricing: - Free: US$0 — One successful repository scan per GitHub account. No continuous monitoring. - Starter: US$29/month — Continuous CrossCheck protection for small projects and solo builders. - Team: US$79/month — Continuous monitoring for engineering teams using AI coding tools across multiple repositories. - Scale: US$299/month — A broad repository allowance for larger engineering organisations and multi-product teams. Paid monitoring plans include continuous checks on protected repositories with unlimited developers, AI coding agents and CrossCheck runs within the repository allowance. OPTIONAL IMPLEMENTATION — CrossCheck Implementation US$499 one-off. We implement CrossCheck across up to 10 repositories, establish the baseline, configure enforcement and support the rollout for 30 days. Ongoing monitoring requires a recurring CrossCheck plan. Includes: - CrossCheck implemented on up to 10 GitHub repositories - A baseline of package-manager configuration findings and declared repository decisions - Warn-only or blocking enforcement configured for each repository - False-positive and edge-case review during rollout - Up to 2 organisation-specific checks - A baseline report for every repository plus a prioritised rollout summary - 30 days of rollout support and a final re-scan The implementation fee is separate from recurring monitoring. Product boundaries: - The default detector covers package-manager configuration signals and invalid package.json. Static configuration evidence does not by itself establish maintainer intent; explicit CrossCheck contracts are the enforceable source of declared repository decisions. - The GitHub-connected web scan is read-only and retrieves only supported configuration files for the duration of the scan. - One successful supported repository scan is free per GitHub account; unsupported repositories do not consume the allowance. - Current paid monitoring is sold in repository bundles: up to 3, 10 or 100 protected repositories. - CrossCheck is not general code review, merge-conflict detection or agent coordination. - Evidence: 47 of 47 holdout emissions had their cited package-manager configuration state verified at the frozen commit. This does not establish maintainer intent or that every emission required remediation; interpretation corrected 21 September 2026.
