The model provides that Samvera service providers pay an annual fee each fiscal year to the Samvera Community; the annual fees are based on the number of hours billed by the service provider on Samvera-based projects or hours spent on maintaining services for customers (e.g. hosting services) during Samvera’s fiscal year. Note that the number of billed hours is self-reported. It is expected that service providers are either tracking this information or can provide an estimation.
