The licence ledger
IllustrativeThe commercial shape of a finance stack, as a buyer reads it
- Basis of charge
- Per seat, per module, per entity. Finance headcount and legal-entity count are both additive, and neither is a number the CFO can reduce at will.
- Discount condition
- Conditional on term length and on the breadth of modules taken at signature, which is what makes a partial exit cost more than it saves.
- Renewal fragmentation
- Ledger, spend, close and planning renew on different cycles, so the whole stack is never negotiable at once.
- On exit
- The chart of accounts, approval thresholds and close checklist sit inside the vendor's schema — not in an asset you hold.
Shape only — the direction of travel, not a quantity. Your own curve comes from your own renewal schedule.
