## Read and set aside

- [Mechanize: announcement](https://www.mechanize.work/announcing-mechanize-inc/): Mechanize's announcement sets out its thesis and the size of the labour market; it states nothing about environments built or what is paid for them
- [HUD: platforms for selling a codebase](https://www.hud.ai/resources/best-platforms-selling-codebase): HUD's guide is about selling a codebase as training data, not about building RL environments or what is paid for them
- [Epoch AI: FAQ on RL environments](https://epochai.substack.com/p/an-faq-on-reinforcement-learning): the charter admits it for: reported market figures ($200-$2,000 a task; ~$20k for complex tasks) cited as reported, never as a vendor's price
- [SemiAnalysis: RL environments and RL for science](https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/rl-environments-and-rl-for-science): the charter admits it for: the reported ~$20,000 per UI-gym site, cited as reported
- [rl-list.com directory](https://www.rl-list.com/): rl-list.com is a third-party directory of RL environment companies; its figures are funding rounds, not what is paid for environments
- [rl-list.com: computer-use environments](https://www.rl-list.com/rl-environments-for-computer-use): rl-list.com's computer-use page is a third-party directory; its figures are funding rounds, not what is paid for environments

## Methodology

Each payer's own postings, pricing and buyer pages were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row). For every page, five questions were answered from its own words: publishes a figure, unit of the figure, low end of the stated figure, high end of the stated figure, what is built. Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the page read does not address the question. A payer with several pages reads 'varies' where they disagree. 12 payers, 15 pages.
