FAQ

Why pay for an open standard?

You're paying for validation authority, custom development, support, and roadmap influence. The standard stays open (MIT).

What if FAF doesn't become ubiquitous?

IANA registration = permanent status. MCP approval = ecosystem validation. Early members help make it ubiquitous.

Can I try first?

Yes. Individual tier is free. Professional/Enterprise pilots available. Strategic includes proof-of-concept.
