Three cumulative publication tiers
Compare localization on its own with optional metadata, production, and market-entry assets. The listed tiers and prices support planning; MAQUINE must review scope before any proposal.
Localization can be reviewed as a separate planning option. No publication tier is mandatory or preselected. Higher tiers are cumulative, so there is no hidden dependency or duplicate charge.
Base service
The USD 0.08-0.12 planning range responds to language direction, genre, and source words. Publication assets below remain optional; the public result is not a proposal.
Separate volume program
The Founding Capacity Program has its own book-count ladder, eligibility rules, installment schedule, and governed capacity. It does not replace Signature Custom Edition localization or the publication add-ons listed on this page.
Position the edition
A complete target-market identity for retailer, catalog, and distributor systems.

Deliverable-level comparison
The package name is not a commercial specification. The comparison supports planning; only a future approved proposal and agreement can record included assets, revisions, formats, and exclusions.

Commercial clarity
Published tier prices are planning information and create no payable project total.
A manual review request records interest but does not accept a package, reserve capacity, or create an agreement.
Cover design, ISBN purchase, printing, advertising spend, retailer approval, and sales guarantees are outside the listed planning scope.
Any future proposal must identify every selected deliverable, exclusion, revision, and price before acceptance.
Declared-scope planning estimate
Calculate a declared-scope planning estimate, choose one optional publication tier, and carry the saved scope into a manual review. The private Studio remains closed until its security and provider gates pass.
