No divergence on this cell. [2026-08-30] RESOLVED ON HIS DEFINITION, no longer flagged as a conflict. His glossary reads \"Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG): A model in which customers pay for consumption without a precommitted credit pool\", and the book defines the pool it excludes: \"Committed Spend Pool. The buyer commits to a dollar amount (or credit quantity) for the period, drawn down as the agent operates.\" So the definition carries two tests, both his: consumption must be METERED, and there must be no PERIOD COMMITMENT.

His glossary reads \"Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG): A model in which customers pay for consumption without a precommitted credit pool\", and the book defines the pool it excludes: \"Committed Spend Pool. The buyer commits to a dollar amount (or credit quantity) for the period, drawn down as the agent operates.\" So the definition carries two tests, both his: consumption must be METERED, and there must be no PERIOD COMMITMENT. This vendor meters consumption at a published rate and requires no period commitment to do so - a balance topped up when the customer chooses is not a commitment to an amount for a period.

PAYG is the only true pay-after mechanism: billed monthly in arrears (Professional) or quarterly in arrears (Org/Enterprise) against an admin-set monthly spend limit that can be changed immediately, and charges already accrued still bill even if the limit is lowered.

His glossary reads \"Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG): A model in which customers pay for consumption without a precommitted credit pool\", and the book defines the pool it excludes: \"Committed Spend Pool. The buyer commits to a dollar amount (or credit quantity) for the period, drawn down as the agent operates.\" So the definition carries two tests, both his: consumption must be METERED, and there must be no PERIOD COMMITMENT. This vendor sells fixed bundles rather than metering consumption, so it fails the first test regardless of the second. Buying a pack is not paying for consumption.

The buyer commits to a dollar amount (or credit quantity) for the period, drawn down as the agent operates.\" So the definition carries two tests, both his: consumption must be METERED, and there must be no PERIOD COMMITMENT.

His glossary reads \"Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG): A model in which customers pay for consumption without a precommitted credit pool\", and the book defines the pool it excludes: \"Committed Spend Pool. The buyer commits to a dollar amount (or credit quantity) for the period, drawn down as the agent operates.\" So the definition carries two tests, both his: consumption must be METERED, and there must be no PERIOD COMMITMENT. This vendor meters consumption at a published rate and requires no period commitment to do so - a balance topped up when the customer chooses is not a commitment to an amount for a period.

The previous rule also required the vendor to state that reaching the limit stops usage; that second half is dropped, because a documented customer-settable limit is the buyer-side fact this column exists to record. A control that limits nothing - a notification threshold or spend alert that lets usage continue - still does not qualify.

The buyer commits to a dollar amount (or credit quantity) for the period, drawn down as the agent operates.\" So the definition carries two tests, both his: consumption must be METERED, and there must be no PERIOD COMMITMENT. This vendor sells fixed bundles rather than metering consumption, so it fails the first test regardless of the second. Buying a pack is not paying for consumption.
