PAI is still in active development. Core access is free. Founding Supporter exists for people who want to help fund the product while it is being built, and Pro stays off sale until its value is clearly defined.
No fake premium tier. No forced upgrade.
The $5 Founding Supporter option is a one-time contribution toward continued development, model work, distribution, infrastructure, and testing. It is optional and permanently marks the account as an early supporter.

Questions
Nothing hidden in the fine print.
Is Founding Supporter a subscription?
No. It is a one-time $5 contribution during the founding period.
Will Founding Supporter become Pro automatically?
No. Founding Supporter is a permanent early-supporter status. Pro will be a separate ongoing tier. An account can eventually have both.
Do I need to pay to use PAI?
No. PAI currently has a Free tier during active development.
Why is Pro still TBD?
Because the premium feature set and pricing should be based on actual product value, not a placeholder subscription sold before the benefits are ready.
