What this briefing covers

A summary of the analysis in this briefing. Captions for this recording are not published yet, so the narration is not reproduced here.

Flex buys flexibility in what you deploy and takes it away in whether you can leave. How to accept the consumption model without accepting the lock in that usually travels with it.

Flex buys flexibility in what you deploy and quietly removes it from whether you can leave. Those are different freedoms and only one of them is being advertised.

Module expansion is priced against a commit that is already set, so the terms that matter are the ones governing what happens after the modules land.

Take the consumption model if it fits the estate, but write the exit and the repricing position at signing rather than discovering them at the second renewal.
