Five short research briefings for organisations with a Workspace renewal, a Gemini Enterprise proposal, a Vertex AI agent program or a Google Cloud commitment on the table: how Gemini is sold per user and per unit, where the money sits on each side, and the one exercise that sizes the commit from both. Two advisors per session, drawn from the Redress research note on seats, consumption and the commit.
Per user through Workspace and Gemini Enterprise, per unit through Vertex AI and the Cloud commitment, and one account team sizing the commit from both.
The add ons folded into the editions, the second seat and its quota, Annual versus Flexible plans, and the true up that replaces the audit.
Reconcile, map editions to roles, pilot with a threshold, pool and cap the quota, protect the base rate, keep true down.
The January 2027 rate reset, agents that bill every reasoning pass, video per second, the symmetric commit plans, and the illustration line by line.
Forecast in Google's meters, establish the alternative, fix the rates, cap the unforecastable, and size one ramped commit from both sides together.
