3. Understanding Credits

What Are Credits?

Credits are the currency you use to run analyses on VuduVations. Each analysis consumes 1 credit, regardless of which protocol you use.

Credit Rules

RuleDetails
Cost per analysis1 credit (all protocols)
Expiration90 days from purchase
Usage orderFIFO (oldest credits used first)
RefundsCredits are non-refundable

Checking Your Balance

Your credit balance is displayed in multiple locations:

1.Sidebar footer — Always visible at the bottom of the sidebar
2.Run Analysis page — Top-right corner with a "+ Buy" button
3.Account page — Full credit breakdown under "Analysis Credits"
Account page with credit details

Credit Expiration

Credits expire 90 days after purchase to encourage active use. To check your credits:

1.Click Account in the sidebar
2.View the Analysis Credits section at the top
3.Click "+ Buy Credits" to purchase more

Tip: The system automatically uses your oldest credits first (FIFO), so credits closest to expiration are consumed before newer ones.


4. Purchasing Credits

Credit Pricing

Each analysis on an open protocol costs $25 (1 credit). M&A Diligence in

two-company deal mode costs $50 (2 credits) — it runs the analysis core once

per company. Volume pricing and advanced tiers are arranged directly with our team.

5. Running Your First Analysis

Let's walk through running your first analysis step by step.

Step 1: Choose Your Protocol

From the Run Analysis page, click the protocol tab that matches your needs:

If you want to...Select this tab
Assess exit readiness / key person riskOwner
Find AI/automation opportunitiesAI
Analyze sales callsSales
Evaluate an acquisition targetM&A
Protocol selection tabs

Step 2: Prepare Your Input

Each protocol accepts different input types:

Supported File Types:

TypeFormatsMax Size
AudioMP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC50 MB
VideoMP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI50 MB
DocumentsPDF, DOCX, TXT, HTML10 MB
DataJSON, CSV10 MB

Or paste text directly (minimum 100 characters)

MCOS analyzes the source you provide directly — there's no data store to build or populate first, so analysis starts on the transcript or document you already have.

Tip: For best results, use transcripts of 30-60 minute conversations. See protocol-specific guides for ideal input recommendations.

Step 3: Upload or Paste

Option A: Upload a file

1.Make sure the Upload tab is selected
2.Click the upload area or drag-and-drop your file
3.The platform supports TXT, PDF, DOCX, audio, video, email, HTML, and JSON

Step 4: Run Your Analysis

1.Verify your protocol tab and input are ready
2.Click the green "Run [Protocol Name] — 1 credit" button at the bottom
3.One credit will be deducted automatically

Step 5: Wait for Processing

Analysis typically takes 1-3 minutes depending on input size. You'll see a status panel tracking progress through each processing stage (PREPROC, EXTRACT, MAPPER, ANALYZE, SYNTH).

Note: You can navigate away — you'll be notified when your analysis is complete.

Step 6: View Results

When complete, you'll be taken to your results dashboard automatically. Your dashboard will show protocol-specific scores, extracted data, and actionable insights. For detailed walkthroughs of each results dashboard, see the protocol guides:

●Key Person Audit — Business Health Score, Dependency Matrix, Valuation Impact
●AI Discovery — Readiness Score, Use Cases, ROI
●Sales Intel — Deal Health, Objections, Next Actions
●M&A Diligence — Deal Risk Score, Recommendation
●Workflow Transform — Automation Graph, Friction Points
