Tier 4

Platform License

The Platform License grants access to the entire Capsaicin Design Platform — the computational and experimental infrastructure that designs the cultivars themselves. Licensees can run their own cultivar programs, targeting new SHU specifications and burn profiles beyond the Scoville Splice catalog.

What’s Included

Metabolic Modeling Tools

Flux balance models of the capsaicinoid pathway, calibrated against mass-spec data, with a solver interface for predicting SHU and blend ratios from upstream enzyme activity.

ESM2 Engineering Pipeline

Protein language model workflows for scoring enzyme variants, generating mutant libraries, and predicting stability and functional changes for pathway proteins.

CRISPR Design Suite

Guide RNA design tools with Capsicum-specific off-target scoring, PAM filtering, and construct assembly helpers.

Blend Chemistry Calculator

Model the five-capsaicinoid blend ratio and resulting burn profile (onset, duration, intensity curve) for any target specification.

Construct Assembly System

Modular construct designs with validated promoters, terminators, and selection markers tested in Capsicum transformation workflows.

Who This Is For

The Platform License is for organizations that want to build their own engineered cultivars — not license finished specifications. Typical licensees are vertically integrated biotech companies, large seed developers, and research institutions running cultivar-engineering programs of their own.

Pricing

Platform License pricing reflects the full scope of access and is structured as an annual fee plus per-cultivar royalties. Contact us through scovillesplice.farm for a licensing consultation.
