(1) It is a lead magnet that does not exist at the stated price: refuted, because the order page returns 200 with an order summary of $0.00 and three required fields. (2) /pricing 404ing means the offer is unpublished: refuted the same way, and the 404 is recorded as a probe rather than treated as evidence of absence. (3) The free tier is a /48 of IPYE's own datacenter space and the eyeball-ISP sentence on /use-cases is about the paid ISP bundles only: not refuted. The /ipv6-rental page never repeats the registration-class claim for the free /48, and no block was obtained, so the class of the free block is unverified and this record does not claim it.\n\nWhat the record does establish is narrower and firmer. The /48 is $0, it is a real order, it comes with an automatic RPKI ROA and route object, and it is unusable until an origin ASN exists. That last fact is the binding one and it is the vendor's own sentence, not an inference. Size is not diversity: 65,536 /64s are one prefix in one network, so the product meets a gate counting the /64 and leaves a gate counting the ASN untouched unless the prefix is announced from a different ASN than the compute, which is a fact about the announcement and not about the registration.\n\nThe ASN itself is the open question. A RIPE searchcomplete for IPYE returns no ASN, so the network the shared ASN sits in cannot be named before paying $300/yr, and whether that ASN is a hosting ASN or an eyeball ASN decides whether this product reaches rung 5 at all. What would settle it: buy the shared ASN, obtain the /48, resolve the prefix with RIPE prefix-overview, and capture one refusal from an upstream that refuses Cloudflare's ranges from the same minute as a Cloudflare control.\n\nTwo discrepancies are recorded rather than smoothed. The assignment quotes the KYC line as 'No KYC/ID Number Verification Required'; the homepage as read on 2026-10-24 says 'No KYC/ID Verification Required', and the word Number does not appear on it. And the bundle price is $1,600.00 on my.ipye.com/products/server-ip-bundles with no cadence in the extracted text, recorded here as per month as the assignment has it; /server-ip-bundles 404s and the real path is the my.ipye.com one, which is worth knowing before the next session retries it.\n\nThe interface tokens are a deliberate deviation. The assignment lists api, socks5, http-proxy, web-ui and none, but scripts/dossier/schema.json's interface enum contains none of those, and the gate validates against that enum. The record therefore uses rest for the stated rDNS API and cli for the BGP announcement, and puts the web checkout and the missing name for a network interface in interface_detail.\n\nChecked against dossier/egress/ first, as the topic brief requires: no IPYE record exists there, so this is the first record for the provider and nothing is duplicated or corrected. No record in another topic is corrected by this one.","extras":{"rung":3,"rung_note":"A /48 is a subnet, so it clears rung 3 by construction; it does not reach rung 4, because every address in the block is announced by one origin ASN.","price_table":{"/48":"USD 0","/44":"USD 20/yr","/40":"USD 100/yr","/36":"USD 200/yr","/29":"USD 200/mo","ipv6_registration":"USD 300 one-time, a company required"},"asn_prices":{"shared":"USD 300/yr","dedicated":"USD 700/yr","registration":"USD 500 one-time, company certificate and proof of ID"},"ipv4_prices":{"/24":"USD 160/mo","/23":"USD 300/mo","/22":"USD 600/mo"},"bundle_prices":{"dc_/24_ipv4":"USD 300.00","isp_rcn_/22_ipv4_10gbps":"USD 1,600.00","dc_/44_ipv6_1gbps":"USD 160.00","isp_/44_ipv6_1gbps":"USD 300.00","isp_10gbps_/36_ipv6":"USD 600.00","rcn_isp_10gbps_/29_ipv6":"USD 1,100.00"},"checkout_url":"https://my.ipye.com/products/ipv6-rental/48-ipv6/checkout","checkout_fields":["ASN(s) (required)","Region (required)","Name Servers for rDNS (optional)","Intended Use (required)"],"order_summary":"Total today: $0.00","prefix_obtained":false,"registration_class_checked":false,"registration_class_note":"Not checked, because no block was issued. /use-cases claims eyeball-ISP registration for ISP Network Subnets; /ipv6-rental makes no such claim for the free /48.","ripe_probe":"stat.ripe.net/data/searchcomplete/data.json?resource=IPYE -> categories: [], 2026-10-24T11:56:15Z","pricing_page":"https://ipye.com/pricing returns 404","bundle_page_real_path":"https://my.ipye.com/products/server-ip-bundles (/server-ip-bundles 404s)","interface_enum_note":"The assignment's token list (api, socks5, http-proxy, web-ui, none) is not the enum in scripts/dossier/schema.json; rest and cli are the honest intersection."}},"claims":[{"path":"$.free_tier.stated","kind":"free-quota","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[0].value","kind":"limit:write-gated","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[1].value","kind":"limit:per-object-cap","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[2].value","kind":"limit:volume-quota","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[3].value","kind":"limit:retention-clamped","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"}],"unknown":[["$.evidence[8].url","private-url"]],"history":[],"drift":[{"kind":"duplicate-disagrees","subject":"ip-proxy/ipye-free-48","other":"ip-proxy/ipye-isp-network-bundle","field":"verdict","a":"qualifies-with-caveat","b":"paid-only","detail":null},{"kind":"duplicate-disagrees","subject":"ip-proxy/ipye-free-48","other":"ip-proxy/ipye-isp-network-bundle","field":"identity_kind","a":"email","b":"card","detail":null}]}
