Make offer

The name for hidden costs that markets and systems silently impose.

Blind tax names the class of costs — algorithmic fees, platform tolls, hidden markups, opaque charges — that principals pay without visibility. It is a powerful, memorable frame for AI systems that detect, quantify, or eliminate those invisible levies.

Why this is canonical

The compound is sharp and evocative: 'blind' signals opacity and lack of visibility; 'tax' signals an involuntary extraction. Together they name a recognizable phenomenon across financial markets, digital advertising, healthcare billing, and software procurement — costs imposed silently. The .ai TLD positions this as infrastructure for AI-powered detection and elimination of those costs.
