Section 2 — Financial Capacity
RFI stage — high-level summary only. The ATO has indicated that full financial-capacity evidence will only be requested in any procurement stage that follows the RFI.
Anuna Research Cooperative is an Australian cooperative working on trustworthy AI systems, transformation advisory, and practitioner-team assembly for client engagements. Revenue is from client engagements (Microsoft, Autodesk, CSIRO Data61, Telus, Suncorp, IAG, GovUK, Kellogg, Telefónica, and others) and from open-source project work funded internally.

| Notes | Early-stage; revenue from research grants and commercial pilots | Forecast |
- has no material loan or finance-lease commitments;
- has no contingent liabilities at the date of this Response;
- has no current or threatened litigation;
- holds business and professional indemnity insurance appropriate to its size (to be evidenced in a procurement stage);
- is a going concern with no indication of material uncertainty in its financial position.
In a procurement stage involving a contract of material value, Anuna Research Cooperative is open to providing:
- audited financial statements for the trailing two financial years;
- references from prior commercial customers / research partners;
- a financial-capacity declaration from a registered auditor;
- if requested, a performance bond or bank guarantee scaled to the contract value;
- if requested, a partnership / prime-subcontractor arrangement with a larger Australian systems integrator (no such arrangement is in place at the RFI stage; partner identification and contracting would be a procurement-stage activity if the contract scope warrants it).
Section 3 — Pricing and Payment Basis
All pricing in Part 4a is provided on the following basis:
- Currency: Australian Dollars (AUD), GST-exclusive
- Term: Pricing presented for an initial 12-month subscription and for a 36-month term option
- Indexation: Annual indexation by lesser of CPI (Sydney All Groups) or 4 % per annum, applied at each contract anniversary
- Payment terms: Net 30 days from valid tax invoice
- Foreign-currency exposure: None at this time. If post-RFI scope requires foreign third-party services (e.g. an offshore third-party PAD testing laboratory) the foreign-currency component will be separately nominated per Table T1
- Volume tiering: Per Table T2 — pricing decreases with volume tier
- One-off costs: Integration, training, environment setup per Table T3
- Ongoing support: Per Table T4
- Labour rates: Per Table T5 — for any incremental work outside the subscription scope
Section 4 — Response Price
See Part 4a — Response Form — Pricing Table (XLSX) for the full pricing tables.
| Component | Pricing approach |
|---|---|
| SABLE library licence | Apache 2.0 open-source — AUD 0 per-seat / per-verification licence (the library itself remains free and open) |
| SaaS Verification Service — Production | Subscription pricing, per-verification with tiered volume discount; see T1.2 |
| SaaS Verification Service — Non-Production | Fixed annual fee for dev / staging environments; see T1.2 |
| One-off implementation | Fixed-price for AWS PrivateLink wiring, MAUI bindings delivery, FMR/FNMR benchmark report, WCAG 2.1 AA audit, IRAP / PROTECTED-level certification programme; see T3 |

Total cost of ownership for an ATO myID deployment serving 14 M-plus users will be sized in a procurement stage against the actual usage profile (peak-hour verifications, environment counts, support-tier selection, certification scope, MAUI delivery scope) and the contract vehicle terms. Anuna Research Cooperative is happy to engage in pricing conversations as part of any procurement stage; indicative line items per Part 4a (Tables T1 to T5) inform that conversation without committing to absolute totals at the RFI stage.
