The site never mentions that Selat is a paid product with a dashboard and three tiers #36

Description

@fajarhide

Selat sells seats. selat.weekndlabs.com has a dashboard at /app, a "Start free"
call to action, slt_live_ keys, and three tiers:

tier calls per month seats
Free 5,000 1
(middle) 50,000 3
Team, $99/mo 250,000 10

weekndlabs.com does not mention any of it.

$ grep -rniE "dashboard|pricing|start free|slt_live|hosted" app components
app/philosophy/page.tsx:71    ...we offer hosted versions of our tools.
app/terms-of-service/page.tsx:31,37,59    ...our hosted domains, APIs, and managed cloud infrastructure
app/privacy-policy/page.tsx:27

Every hit is a legal page or one line under "How We Sustain This". The landing
page presents Selat as npx @fajarhide/selat and stops there, so the only route
a visitor has to the product that actually takes money is to click through to the
product site and find it themselves.

This is the gap that makes the site read as a shelf rather than a company. The
positioning, the categories and the hero all landed in #28 and #29; what is
missing is that one of these products has customers and a price.

Two things to decide rather than just adding a button:

1. Does the hero sentence still hold? It says "Nothing here is a trial." The
open-source build genuinely is complete (Selat is Apache-2.0 and self-hostable
with no account, and its own site says so), so the sentence is defensible about
the code. But it now sits one click from a metered free tier that stops calls at
5,000 a month, and a reader can fairly take it to mean the hosted thing is not
metered. The sentence predates this work; it is worth re-reading now that the
front page is meant to lead somewhere commercial.

2. How much commercial surface belongs here at all? The positioning agreed in
#28 was an open-source lab that looks like a platform, deliberately without
pricing or a demo booking. A link to Selat's dashboard is not the same as putting
a pricing table on weekndlabs.com, and the smallest version may be the right one.

Smallest thing that closes it: the Selat card gets a second action pointing at the
hosted product alongside the install command, and "How We Sustain This" names
Selat instead of saying "our tools" in the abstract.
