 "faqs": [
  {
   "question": "What is Proofhand?",
   "answer": "Proofhand replaces image puzzles on sign-up, login and contact forms with an invisible proof-of-work check: the browser solves it silently, the form carries a token, and the server verifies that token once."
  },
  {
   "question": "Is Proofhand a CAPTCHA replacement?",
   "answer": "Yes. It does the same job as reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha without asking a real visitor to identify traffic lights, and the server-side verification call is shaped like reCAPTCHA's siteverify."
  },
  {
   "question": "How much does Proofhand cost?",
   "answer": "There is a free tier. IntegrityRuntime Pro is $49 a month, AgentPass Pro is $99 a month, Hardware Gateway Pro is $149 a month and Enterprise is $299 a month."
  },
  {
   "question": "Does it stop bots as well as a puzzle does?",
   "answer": "Bots that solve puzzles with paid services get through those puzzles anyway; a proof-of-work check costs a machine real computation while costing a person nothing."
  },
  {
   "question": "Will it work with my existing form?",
   "answer": "Yes. The change is a token on the form and one verification call on the server, so the form itself does not need redesigning."
  },
  {
   "question": "Can I charge AI crawlers instead of blocking them?",
   "answer": "Yes. Proofhand lets a site make crawlers either pay for access or stay out, instead of blocking all automation or allowing all of it."
  },
  {
   "question": "Is Proofhand accessible?",
   "answer": "It asks nothing of the visitor beyond submitting the form, so there is no visual or motor task to fail."
