What's Your Ink Worth Now? Tool Tells You In Five Seconds Flat
Inkworth reads any URL and returns what it would have cost to commission. Built by writers, for writers. Tired of pricing their own labour by feel.
Reach, craft, durability — three signals weighted against twenty years of public rate cards.
The Equation, Plain
Reach × Craft × Durability, divided by market rate. Output is a defensible number with a confidence band, plus the comparables behind it.
METHODOLOGY
Three Signals, One Verdict
Reach is what the piece reached. Craft is what the piece took to make. Durability is whether anyone will still cite the work next year.
Each signal is read from the text and metadata, weighted against twenty years of public rate cards.
What The Tool Won't Do
Won't grade prose. Won't score sentiment. Won't tell the writer whether the piece is good. Will quote a price. Will defend it.
FOUNDERS' LETTER
“We Built This Tired”
“We built this because we were tired,” the founders write. “Tired of pricing our own work by feel. Tired of guessing across a table.”
The audience is the communications trade. The price is free during beta.
Open Tool, Closed Model
The methodology is public. The model itself is not. The founders will defend the math.
