the atelier — for practitioners
The margin is the message.
Forty to fifty percent off retail, a floor that holds so your margin holds, and a desk that debits you only when a book exists. Run your practice's numbers before you ask for a place.
Run the margin
Pick your tier and your reader's price. The desk price, your cost, and your margin — live.

50%margin on the sale
Sell at list and the margin is the tier. The floor holds the advertised price at list — so nobody undercuts your practice into a race to the bottom.
The price card
| Tier | Discount | Earned by | The annual floor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partner | 40% off retail | Every approved practice, from book one | — |
| Pro | 45% off retail | 10+ books a month | $15,000 or 250 books a year |
| Master | 50% off retail | 30+ books a month | $30,000 or 600 books a year |
Tiers are re-measured monthly, in both directions, audit-logged. Earned by volume, never negotiated.
Why the floor protects you
i.
The floor holds
The minimum advertised price is the current list price — a snapshot on every order, kept by the desk itself. No partner can advertise cheaper than yours.
ii.
Your price inside the room is yours
The floor governs advertising. What you charge a client inside a consultation — bundled into a reading, priced as a service — is your own.
iii.
No marketplace erosion
Atelier books never appear on Amazon, Etsy, or eBay — the agreement forbids it, and every copy is traceable to its desk. Your margin never competes with a listing.
The mechanics
i.
The order pad
Client, birth details, book, done. The desk debits your wallet only when a book exists — a declined or failed order is never charged, and the money is back in your wallet the moment anything falters.
ii.
The statement
Monthly, itemized, every order and credit — a page you read, not a PDF you trust. Let the balance carry or settle monthly; either way the arithmetic is in front of you.
iii.
Personalized means final
Each book is made from one client's data — no returns for change of mind. Our errors and transit damage are remade free, fast. A client's mis-typed birth time remakes at half the trade price.
