PCC · diner window
Send a file. Get it smaller. Every byte back.
Hosted lossless compression — every pathway we own, smallest restore-safe copy. You order at the window; the kitchen cooks. The awning says PCC. (AWARE is the legacy name for the same door.)

Lossless means the file that comes back is the file you sent. If we cannot make it smaller, we keep it as-is so it never grows.
Hosted means we run it. Website, one HTTP call, npm, or MCP. You get the smaller file.
Dual-licensed. Every engine we bring forward is available two ways. Use the public source under the open license, or pay a seat and ship it inside a closed product. The hosted service is the same family: a PCC seat is the grant that runs those pathways on our machines. pulsar’s closed-product grant is $490/year. CuNi’s is $490/year. Chamber, Rider, and Warrant seats cover theirs. Full list: licensing.json.
What people send. Backups. Datasets. Archives. Log history. Live logs use the same plan (TRUSTREAM). A folder becomes a .pcc file — our zip: many files, one container, this compressor inside.

You restore later
