The licence ledger
IllustrativeThe commercial shape of a public-sector stack, as a buyer reads it
- Basis of charge
- Per citizen, per case, per module. The measures of public demand are the measures on the invoice.
- Growth condition
- Population and caseload move the bill upward between budget cycles, and a new programme is a new line item before it is a service.
- Residency scope
- Where records rest is contracted. Model training, support access and the analytics pipeline are frequently a separate question with a separate answer.
- On exit
- Policy logic, service definitions and the decision trail sit inside the vendor's schema — not in an asset the entity holds.
Shape only — the direction of travel, not a quantity. The entity's own curve comes from its own renewal schedule.
