Technology cost boundary
This template helps organize software, cloud, AI, and renewal decisions. It does not determine contract rights, cancellation rights, licensing compliance, provider pricing, migration feasibility, AI performance, or guaranteed savings.
Use the template to split recurring subscription cost from usage cost, migration work, staff review time, support requirements, security constraints, and renewal timing. A cheaper tool can still be the wrong decision if switching creates new operational work.
When to use this
Use this template after you have run the related calculator or named the business assumption you need to act on. The template is meant to turn the result into a next step, not replace the math.
When not to use this
Do not use this as a legal, tax, payroll, accounting, contract, or compliance conclusion. If the result affects filing, worker classification, contracts, payroll, tax elections, or provider terms, use the template to prepare better questions for the right professional.

FAQ
Should I run the calculator before using the template?
Yes when the template depends on a number, score, threshold, or result state. The template is strongest when it acts on a specific result.
Can I use this as-is?
Use it as a starting point. Adjust the wording, numbers, timing, scope, and assumptions to match your business situation.
