Ready when the scope is right
Lock this calculation for 14 days. Upload after agreement and deposit.
Email verification and rights-holder declarations are required. The uploaded file is compared with the signed declared scope before production begins.
The browser cannot set the contractual price. Maquine recalculates every locked proposal from the active server rule version.
Automatic proposals remain valid for 14 days after email verification and rights-holder confirmation. The trusted API recalculates the browser preview before creating any commercial record.
How the exact rate is built
Every adjustment is visible before you proceed.
The calculation uses an approved language-pair base, one genre adjustment, and one source-length adjustment. The final eligible rate is always capped between USD 0.08 and USD 0.12.
Editorial genre
Commercial, voice-intensive, and research-heavy books receive transparent published adjustments.
Source length
Short, standard, and long-form books use clear length bands, with a 200,000-word automatic limit.
Eligibility boundary
Poetry, specialist formats, unusual complexity, and oversized projects move to a human scope review.
The commercial sequence
Calculate, verify, lock, sign, confirm capacity, upload.
The public calculation creates no payable amount and reserves no production slot. Email verification turns it into a 14-day proposal.
- 01Exact calculationLanguage direction, target market, genre, source length, and material scope resolve to one eligible USD 0.08-0.12 rate.
- 02Rights-holder recordEmail verification, identity, authority, billing record, AI preference, and declared project facts create the private scope.
- 03Locked proposalThe rate, declared words, publication tier, split, and pricing-rule version become immutable when accepted.
- 04AgreementAn approved agreement can be reviewed and signed without uploading the manuscript first.
- 05Capacity, deposit, and uploadAfter capacity confirmation, the 50% deposit opens production intake; the final 50% remains due before delivery.
Currency and taxes
Automatic proposals use USD. EUR remains a separately approved path.
The customer sees the exact quote and invoice currency before acceptance.
A EUR quote records its approved conversion basis and does not float afterward.
Tax calculation remains disabled until the legal entity, jurisdiction, Stripe account, and accountant review are configured.
Optional scope
Publication tiers are clearly priced and added only when selected.
Automatic declared-scope quote
Price the edition before sharing the manuscript.
Calculate the exact eligible-project price, choose one optional publication tier, and lock the proposal after email verification. The private manuscript enters only after agreement and deposit.
