Questions buyers ask
- What does hiring a person cost?
- €12,000+ (total price is determined per engagement; travel billed at cost). The total depends on the scope: how many repositories and systems, how long, and whether the work is on site. You agree a written scope and price before any work starts, as a separate contract.
- What is the difference between a Report and hiring a person?
- A Report is €249 (launch price; €499 after launch): 30 days of surveys, private or public, read by the checks, with the questions to put to the live system. A person gets what a repository does not contain: the running system, the team, and the contracts. Try the Report first.
- How many targets does one Report cover?
- Any number of public repositories, and one private target, for 30 days from the first survey. A private target adds your Report key to its own account, and a Report key can be added to one account. Each further private target needs a Report of its own. How a target runs it · What one Report key covers.
- I have bought. What now?
- Open your account. It shows every way to spend the Report key, step by step: a public repository, a private one on your machine, or one in your own Google Cloud. You need no account for a public repository.
- Does Borehole read or keep my private code?
- Borehole never clones a private repository. The collector reads it on your machine. What it sends: never whole files; facts and short excerpts of up to 120 characters where a check matched. Run it with
--dry-runto see exactly what would be sent. What happens to your code. - Does anyone check a report before I get it?
- A paid survey of a public repository gets a second read by a language model, which can withdraw a finding it judges the code contradicts, and can be wrong. A person reviews your case only when you hire one. How the review works.
- What if the report is wrong or not enough?
- We refund the order in full, on request within 30 days, when a report has no finding with evidence, read too little of the history for your purpose, or is not what was described. Write to billing@borehole.dev. A re-run on the same commit is always free. Terms, section 7.
- Can I rely on a report?
- A paid report is its buyer's to rely on, within the terms and up to the limit in their section 9. Nobody may rely on a free reading, and sharing a report does not extend reliance to anyone else. The terms say so in full.
- What is free?
- Signed out, one free survey in any 30 days, and 5 reports to read in any 30 days. Sign in with GitHub, free, for 5 surveys a day and 15 in any 30 days, and every report in the library. A commit someone has already surveyed costs no survey.
