No margin on the fee
ADR-0009 (tentative): the fee is the plain cost split with nothing on top. The owner accepts running at cost, plans to compete on price and expects to earn later from adoption. The repository records the risk: there is no cushion, so a cost that turns out higher than published raises members' bills the next quarter or is carried by the owner. It recommends a quarterly review of every cost line before signing, and leaves open an optional published runway-reserve line and a limit on cost growth.
Not decided
What to plan for
- No cushion for cost shocks
- A reserve line behaves like a margin if large
- Adoption may be slower than hoped
