Balance API Overview Who's This For How It Works Verification Integration
Neutrality Company Thoughts Docs

Neutral settlement
infrastructure.

PacSpace records usage deltas as they happen, creating proof that both parties can independently check. When two systems disagree about a balance, the math resolves it — not a phone call.

Party A
Neutral Layer PacSpace
Party B

Both systems are right.
The numbers are still wrong.

In usage-based billing, both sides track the same activity independently. Your system records when processed. Theirs records when sent. Both are correct — they just measured different things.

The problem isn't bad systems. It's the absence of a shared record at the boundary.

01

Record

Every usage event becomes a signed, timestamped delta. Once recorded, it can't be changed.

02

Derive

Both parties compute the running balance from the same verified deltas. Same inputs, same math, same result.

03

Compare

When numbers don't match, both sides compare against the neutral record. Discrepancies surface immediately.

04

Checkpoint

Lock a period-end proof across all verified deltas. Include it in invoices so your counterparty can audit the period independently.

Settlement infrastructure
has to be neutral.

If the system that verifies a transaction is built by one side of the transaction, it's not verification. PacSpace has no economic interest in the outcome of any dispute. We charge for infrastructure usage, not settlement results. The math is the same regardless of who's right.

Stop debating the numbers.
Start proving them.

Four API calls. Sub-cent economics. Neutral by design.
