The gate is a 402 OFFER — the price and a hard ceiling on the wire, with a durable intent that executes on settlement. Never a wall, never "contact sales". Price: not posted — see /pricing.

Delegated calls require a typed Mandate{ ceiling, perAction, expires, tripwires }; the ceiling is a field, not a conversation.

Doorfi.vin serves this noun on its two routes: / (the landing) · /2HKRS4H79PH405443 (the VIN lens).

Try it — sandbox: every call answers a deterministic, provenance-labeled simulated payload ({ environment, simulated } in the body). Force any documented outcome with the magic triggers. Going live is a connect, never a ballot: submit the credential at integrates.vin (dealer systems) or connects.vin (consumer accounts) — submissions enter the activation queue and rank live rollout.

the SDK — fni.select
import { fni } from 'apis.vin'

// the gate law is in the type system: Answer<T> = Ok | Empty | Blocked | Offer
const answer = await fni.select({"subject":"subject"})
POST /fnis/select
curl -X POST https://apis.vin/fnis/select \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"subject":"subject"}'

Receipt — the sandbox wire answered the request above with this exact body at build time. Captured by the receipts runner (timestamped, provenance in the payload), never authored; it re-executes only when this descriptor changes.
