Free tier	Pay-to-publish (Data Publishing Charge). Up to 5 GB = $150; 1 TB = $6,077; 2 TB = $12,162. Not a free tier in any sense. unit GB; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Free downloads once published; no egress metering.
Identity	institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: UI; above that it is a negotiated large-data order. Partner institutions sponsor only the first 10 GB, with a Large Data Fee above. academic
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	REST API + OAI-PMH; DOI minting; integration with manuscript submission systems.
Composes with	None. The fee scales linearly per dataset, so there is no multiplication play — cost per TB is roughly $6,000 and does not fall with volume ($6.08/GB flat from 500 GB to 2 TB).
Reliability	Highly reliable, curated, POSI-signatory, but gated behind a credit-card payment at submission — useless as free bulk storage.
Notes	Pay-to-publish (Data Publishing Charge). Up to 5 GB = $150; 1 TB = $6,077; 2 TB = $12,162. Not a free tier in any sense.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
