Unit Economic Sustainability
The platform operates at margins that permit category leadership investment rather than negative-margin growth that depends on perpetual capital infusion.
Buyer consequence
Pricing stability is structural rather than promotional; the platform will be commercially viable through the term of the customer's contract.
AIVAON architectural satisfaction
Substrate ownership produces sub-wrapper-platform marginal cost per minute; five-tier SKU model segments the addressable cohort; pricing governance maintains discount discipline.
Competitor failure mode
Wrapper platforms operate on the substrate vendor's margin schedule; their pricing depends on their next funding round.
