How Research Credits Work
Research credits let you choose how deep you want Valarn to go. Free uses a single monthly report. Starter, Pro, Pro Plus, and Team use research credits for flexible depth control.
| Research Type | Typical Credit Use |
|---|---|
| Quick Scan | 0.25 credit |
| Standard Report | 2 credits |
| Deep Debate Report | Starts at 3 credits |
| Premium Model Boost | Uses additional credits depending on depth |
Most users run Standard Reports (2 credits) for everyday research and reserve Deep Debate or premium model boosts for higher-conviction decisions.
