Twenty-two pages, and every number on them was counted.

This is the front door to the reference section. Six cards on what Xuda is, six on where it runs, six on who it is for and what it costs. Four more pages sit behind the audiences card, one for each kind of reader. They are written from the platform itself rather than from a feature list, and most of them close on what they do not do.

How to read this

Three questions, in the order people actually ask them.

Nobody arrives at a platform wanting a feature list. They arrive carrying one of three questions, and the pages below are grouped by which one you came with. Read the group that matches and stop. The other two will still be here.

  • What is it made of. Six surfaces you author on, and one file that declares all of them.
  • Where does it run. The deploy call, hardware Xuda runs itself, a machine of your own, and the shapes a project ships as.
  • Who is it for, and what does it cost. Five doors, four priced ladders, and the levels an account can climb.
  • What does it not do. Twenty-one of the twenty-three pages close on their own limits rather than on a call to action.
The three groups
  1. What Xuda is
    Six pages. Start here when you do not yet know what the parts are.
  2. Where it runs
    Six pages. The box, the region, and the shape a project ships as.
  3. Who it is for
    Six pages, and four more behind the audiences card. The reader, the price and the ladder.
Watch

Xuda in action.

The same platform the twenty-two pages below take apart, this time running.

The arc

From a sentence to a box in a region.

The six pages above are stages of one arc, and the six below are its last two. Drawing it once means the cards do not each have to explain where they sit.

16

deployment types you can pick, four of them still in beta

17

region codes in region_geo, nine of them cities

7

membership rungs, starting at $0

8

AI Workspace tiers, the longest ladder we sell

The five doors

One account, three markets, and a door that is not a market.

The doors are picked by what is stopping you rather than by what you would call yourself. Each one has a page of its own, and every one of those pages links back here, so picking wrong costs a click.

The section in proportion

Twenty-three pages, and half of what is on them is not prose.

The pages argue with drawings and tables rather than with adjectives, because a claim you can read off a picture is a claim you can check. These four counts are of this section itself.

  • Sixty diagrams across six layouts: a bus, a pipeline, two lanes, a matrix, a fork and a convergence.
  • Thirty comparison tables, which is where anything you read down a column belongs.
  • Seventeen transcripts: a real console session, a reply shape, a receipt. Not prose in a monospaced font.
  • Twenty-one of the twenty-three pages close on what they do not do, and the two that do not are named on this page.
Counted, not claimed
Pages carrying a diagram
23 of 23
Six layouts across the section, so three drawings in a row do not read as one drawing.
Pages with a comparison table
21 of 23
Three or more columns, or anything read down a column, belongs in a ruled table rather than in a drawing.
Pages that close on their limits
21 of 23
The last block before the call to action is what the page does not do. The Marketplace and AI Workspace pages are the two without one.
Blocks that are not prose
166 of 331
A drawing, a ruled table, a transcript, a panel or a band of numbers, rather than a paragraph.
Honest limits

Four things this page does not do.

  • It explains nothing itself. Every claim on this page belongs to the page it links to, and the cards are deliberately a sentence or two so there is no third place for the same fact to drift.
  • The counts here were taken on the day this page was written, and the platform keeps moving. The shape of the answer is the durable claim; the totals are a snapshot.
  • Three of the twenty-two pages route rather than explain: this one, platform-features and the audiences page. The other nineteen carry content of their own.
  • Four pages are not carded above. Individuals, professionals, teams and agencies sit behind the audiences card, because the question they answer is which of the five you are, and that page asks it better than a fourth grid would.

Pick the page that answers your question.

Every page in this section was written to be argued with: the numbers say where they came from, and the limits sit in the body rather than in a footnote. Open the one that matches what you are trying to decide, and open an account when it stops being a question.
