Is there a free account?

No. School is the entry production tier. Guided demonstrations are scheduled without creating a production workspace.

Where is checkout completed?

Authentication, subscription checkout, invoices and account management are securely handled on venturejudge.app.

Can a plan be upgraded?

Yes. Upgrades take effect after Stripe confirms the subscription change. Entitlements are enforced from the canonical account record.

What happens above the listed limits?

Enterprise Plus or Government capacity is reviewed with VentureJudge before launch so infrastructure and support are sized correctly.
