Your product moved into agents. Your revenue didn’t.

Inception lets your customers buy, upgrade, and expand right where they work — checkout in the thread, on your own Stripe, and the task resumes.

Step 3 — connecting a data source. 38% stall there. I noted it in the retention doc.
Pull this week's activation funnel and tell me where signups drop off.

Day-2 return is the leak — 41% of signups never come back after connecting their first data source. The rest of the funnel holds.
Good — now run it across all 14 workspaces and export the cohort breakdown.

The pricing page is disappearing into the tool call.

As software moves into MCP tools and AI workspaces, the entire revenue funnel — evaluation, usage, upgrade — is leaving the surfaces you control. Here is what a revenue moment looks like on that surface today.

A dead tool call converts at zero. Anything is up from there.

From blocked to resumed.

From the blocked tool call to the resumed task, every step happens inside the workflow — and every step is recorded.

01
Detect
A limit, gate, or wall fires inside your MCP tool — recorded with full context.
02
Decide
Lifecycle state and your playbook choose the right path — or none.
03
Present
A revenue card renders in the thread, framed by the task at hand.
04
Complete
Checkout, portal, admin approval, sales, or limited mode — on your Stripe.
05
Attribute
Session → subject → Stripe customer. Deterministic, cookie-free.
06
Resume
Entitlement refreshes; the task picks up exactly where it stopped.

See every revenue moment you're missing.

Before converting anything, Inception makes an invisible channel visible: every gate hit, every premium capability a free user reached for, every abandoned moment — with a dollar value attached, split into the two numbers your CFO prices differently: new-customer revenue and expansion revenue.

  • Unrealized acquisition — free and trial users who reached for paid value.
  • Unrealized expansion — paying users hitting walls. Recoverable NRR.
  • Valuable at any traffic volume — the funnel exists before the revenue does.

The only upsell your users will thank you for.

In-workflow monetization lives or dies on trust — so the guarantee is structural, not aspirational.

No block, no offer.

An offer cannot exist without a recorded blocking event the user just hit — enforced in the schema, tested in CI, auditable per-offer in your dashboard.

Ships conservative.

Walls-only by default. Guidance is opt-in per trigger class and must cite the event that grounds it — forecast-shaped, never pitch-shaped.

You hold every dial.

Frequency caps, cooldowns, quiet segments, kill switches, per-lifecycle postures — and no copy reaches your users unreviewed.

We make your Stripe checkout agent-aware.

Stripe owns the rails — catalog, checkout, subscriptions, portal, money. You own the product and your entitlement logic. Inception owns the decision layer: why the moment happened, which package unlocks it, and what happened after.

  • One import into your existing MCP server.
  • No card data ever touches us. No entitlement authority either.
  • Fail-open by design — our outage can never break your tools.
The Stripe integration →
server.ts @inception-agents/expansion-pack 
import { registerExpansionPack } from '@inception-agents/expansion-pack';

// your existing MCP server, unchanged
const server = new McpServer({ name: 'acme-metrics' });

registerExpansionPack(server, {
  apiKey: process.env.INCEPTION_API_KEY,
  // your entitlement logic — runs locally, stays yours
  resolveEntitlement: async ({ subjectRef, action }) =>
    checkPlanLimits(subjectRef, action),
});

// blocked verdicts become revenue moments.
// allowed ones pass straight through.

Three products. One intent graph.

An agent's question, the intent it carries, the moment it hits, the conversion, the re-activation — discovery to expansion, one graph, closed loop.
