Research harness
You buy research pages, not tokens. Vidbyte builds a persistent collection around your question: every source kept with its link, a summary, why it matters to you, and an honest record of what was covered.
Sizes the Scale pack below
about 2,500 research pages
One research page is one source read and filed, a paper or any other web resource. The pack below quotes a range, because a short article and a long paper do not cost the same to read.
Run one research thread end to end before you decide anything.
$0one time
About 20 to 30 standard research pages

For one person keeping a few questions alive at once.
$29per month
About 75 to 110 standard research pages
or about 25 to 35 in-depth briefs, as an alternative rather than an addition
For a group building one shared body of evidence.
$148per month
About 430 to 610 standard research pages
or about 130 to 190 in-depth briefs, as an alternative rather than an addition
A one time capacity pack sized with the slider. No subscription.

About 2,100 to 3,000 standard research pages
or about 640 to 920 in-depth briefs, as an alternative rather than an addition
Research Capacity is Vidbyte Credits in one shared wallet under one account, so the same balance works across every harness we ship. How billing works
Every row is a result you receive rather than a feature name. Anything not yet shipped says so.

Review of Educational Research, 2007
John Hattie and Helen Timperley
A synthesis of feedback research arguing that feedback is among the strongest influences on achievement, but that its effect swings from large and positive to actively harmful depending on the level it targets. The authors separate feedback about the task, the process, self-regulation, and the self, and show that praise directed at the person carries almost no learning effect.
Directly relevant to your question about why review sessions fail to change performance. It supplies the distinction your current approach is missing: feedback aimed at the process is what transfers, and feedback aimed at the person does not.
Found through scholarly discovery, fetched and read in full, artifact complete
01
Title, authors, publisher, date, and the link itself, so you can open the original and check it yourself.
02
What the source actually claims, written from the retrieved text rather than from what a model remembers about it.
03
A paragraph tying this specific source back to the prompt that started the thread, which is the part a generic summary never gives you.
04
What the source suggests you do, test, or read next, given the question you asked.
05
Which provider found it, when it was fetched, how much of it was readable, and whether the artifact is complete or partial.
A research page is a structured evidence artifact, not a quantity of generated text. That is why the same capacity produces fewer in-depth briefs than standard pages.
A large request becomes a resumable project rather than a failed run and a surprise bill.

If it reaches the cap
7 of 100 requested research pages are complete. The remaining work is saved. Add or approve capacity to continue from this point.
One research page is one structured evidence artifact built from one source: the source and its metadata, a link, a one paragraph summary, a paragraph on how it relates to your question, recommendations, and provenance with a completeness status. It is a unit of evidence, not a count of generated words.
A short accessible article and a 40 page paper behind a slow server do not cost the same to find, fetch, and read. We quote a range because that is the honest shape of the cost. The exact price for a specific run is quoted before that run starts.
It stops before the next expensive operation, saves its state, and returns everything it finished with a coverage message such as 7 of 100 requested research pages are complete. Approving more capacity resumes from the last checkpoint rather than starting over.
No. The approved cap is enforced by the harness, not by a warning email afterwards. Passing it requires you to approve the additional capacity first.
No. A thread is durable. Sources and artifacts stay in it after a run ends, and a later prompt continues the same collection. Prior artifacts are deliberately kept out of the agent context window, so a thread with 900 sources in it does not become slower or more expensive to add to.
Scholarly catalogues for papers and authors, and general web search for everything else. You can narrow a run to specific resource kinds, and on Team you can also filter by domain, publication date, and language. Only public pages are retrieved. Paywalls and login walls are not circumvented.
For a limited window, so follow-up work on an artifact does not need to fetch the page again. The retention window is 7 days on Trial, 30 days on Starter, and 180 days on Team and Scale. The artifacts themselves stay as long as the thread does.
Yes. Prompts, sources, artifacts, and traces are private by default and are not used as training data or resale inventory. You can export or delete a thread and everything stored under it at any time.
Yes. Research Capacity is Vidbyte Credits in one shared wallet under one account. This page prices it in research pages because that is the unit that means something here, but the balance is the same balance every other harness draws from.
A chat answer is a paragraph you have to trust. This returns a collection you can audit: every source kept with its link and provenance, a stated position on how each one relates to your question, an explicit record of what was and was not covered, and a thread you can keep adding to next month.
Yes, through our team rather than the slider. Above 50,000 pages we agree terms, invoicing, and rate limits with you first, so write to contact@vidbyte.pro and describe the work.
