Building an API takes seven steps, from opening the Terminal to setting a per-call price and listing on the Marketplace, and takes 50% of every call it earns.</p>\n  <p>Sleuth exposes the whole intelligence layer through MCP: authentication, rate limiting, and billing handled automatically. As agent capability compounds over the next 12 to 24 months, the platforms that win won't be the ones retrofitting agent access onto a subscriber model, they'll be the ones with the economic rails already live.</p>\n  <div class=\"statrow\">\n    <div class=\"stat\"><div class=\"n\">~1,500</div><div class=\"l\">SUBS-ONLY CEILING (HUMANS ALONE)</div></div>\n    <div class=\"stat\"><div class=\"n\">~7,000</div><div class=\"l\">TOKEN-MODEL CEILING (HUMANS ALONE)</div></div>\n    <div class=\"stat\"><div class=\"n\">~10x</div><div class=\"l\">WITH AGENT DEMAND STACKED ON TOP</div></div>\n  </div>\n  <p>A subscription-only platform plateaus at the ceiling of what one team can ship and reach.
