Pay when a risky return gets inspected.
Proposed pricing$2.00 per high-risk return inspected (proposed; no store pays it yet). The merchant chooses which RMAs route to the bench; clean, low-value returns never touch it and never cost anything.
The problem, the solution, why it matters, how it is billed
In this scenario, a received scan releases the refund, so an incomplete kit refunds in full.
An inspection at the bench counts the kit and holds the refund when something is missing.
Break-even illustration: if a $109 zoom lens really is missing, catching it covers 54 inspections, before other costs.
Route the risky RMAs to the bench. Each inspection is $2.00. Clean returns skip it.
The arithmetic, line by line.
Estimate from list prices, replaced by the live run record. Until the live Meta calls are connected, the Instant Demo plays recorded results, so no model cost is incurred there.
| Line | List price | Quantity per inspection | Per inspection |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAM 3.1 segmentation | $0.20 per 1,000 frames | 15 s × 5 fps = 75 frames × 6 concepts = 450 frame-concepts | $0.09 |
| Muse Spark 1.3 reconciliation | $1.25 in / $4.25 out per 1M tokens | tokens in × $1.25/1M + tokens out × $4.25/1M | $0.017 |
| Muse Wonder 1.0 decision draft | $4.00 in / $20.00 out per 1M tokens | tokens in × $4.00/1M + tokens out × $20.00/1M | $0.069 |
One missing lens caught would cover 54 inspections.
The example return on the landing page is a $340 kit with the zoom lens not observed. A hold is not a saving: if a person later approves the full refund, nothing was saved. The arithmetic only counts when the part really is missing and the refund would otherwise have gone out in full. Then the $109 zoom lens not refunded covers 54 inspections at $2.00 each. This is arithmetic, not measured savings: it leaves out the bench's own costs and assumes the part is really gone.
