# bindro — CLE providers

> Bindro sells seats on accredited CLE courses, scans attorneys in per session, and issues one serialised certificate per attorney from that verified attendance — a no-show who paid gets nothing, which is what an audit checks. Bar members and firms can be priced against a roster or billed on a purchase order with no card. It does not file credits with any state bar. It costs 2.5% + $0.99 per paid seat; free courses cost nothing.

## Facts
- Inventory model: multi day agenda.
- Pricing models: member nonmember, tiered, group rate.
- Fees: 2.5% + $0.99 per paid seat; free courses cost nothing.
- Payouts: one payout per event, released 2 days after that event's LAST session has ended (low risk tier, 0% reserve). Never before delivery, and a course sold as a run of dates pays out once, after the final date.
- Check-in: qr, works offline. Visitors can come back in: a scan after they were admitted reads as a re-entry rather than a used code, at whichever entrance they come back to, and says when they first arrived. A second scan within a few minutes of the first is still read as the same code presented twice, so a screenshot passed down the queue does not get anybody in. A scan at a later point on the route counts as progress along it, not as a return. The visit is counted once however often it is scanned.
- Joining: free, alone, in minutes. No contract, no monthly fee and no card at signup. A payout destination is verified before the first payout, never before the first sale.
- Booking fee default: the attorney pays it. A provider can absorb it or split it per course; the fee itself does not change with the choice, only which side of the sale it comes from.
- Overselling is structurally impossible: inventory moves only under a row lock inside the transaction that confirms the order, with a database constraint behind that as a backstop rather than as the mechanism.
- The number this vertical is run on: Credit hours delivered. Also tracked: jurisdiction mix, filing latency, member vs non-member mix. The console computes the north-star figure and prints the arithmetic under it, beside this provider's own funnel with the drop-off at each stage, where the traffic came from, refund, transfer, turnout, no-show, add-on and repeat rates each shown with its numerator and denominator, gross, fees and refunds per course, live remaining capacity during the course, and CSV exports of orders and attorneys. A step the platform cannot observe says so rather than reporting a zero.
- Data export: orders and attorneys as CSV from the console at any time, behind a fresh one-time code. No export fee, no notice period, no lock-in.
- Acknowledged at checkout but NOT enforced — the box is optional and an order completes without it: State bar accreditation record.

## Not supported for this vertical
- Filing credits with a state bar — nothing in the engine transmits anything to any jurisdiction. Bindro issues the per-session hours and the certificates; the provider files them, exactly as they do today.
- Credit categories — a credit record carries hours, a serial and the session it came from. Ethics, technology and specialty-credit categories are not modelled, so the split has to come from how you structure the sessions themselves.
- Collecting a bar card or admission certificate at registration — document upload is optional for CLE providers and is not turned on, so the file control does not render.
- Board and quarterly activity reports — configured as optional for this vertical and not resolved; the console page is a hard refusal rather than an empty report.
- Webcast, on-demand and recorded CLE — bindro sells the seat and admits at the door. It hosts no content and has no learner record, and a credit here comes from a scan.
- Picking sessions across a multi-day institute in the hosted checkout — the hosted flow sells one session per order today; multi-session orders ship on the public JSON API.
- Annual all-access CLE subscriptions — payouts settle per delivered course, so subscription revenue could be taken and never paid out. It is refused on purpose.
- Paying for a seat in instalments, or deferring a seat to a later run of the course — both are optional for this vertical and are not enabled.
- Printed name badges — badge printing is optional here and not resolved; check-in is by QR.
- Handing a seat to a colleague — ticket transfer is not declared for CLE providers, so a direct call is refused rather than quietly reassigning the credit.
- Waitlists on a fully subscribed course — a waiting list is not enabled, so full is full.
