Not in the data, so flagged

The data states no encoder minimum per plan, so every plan is offered from 1 encoder up to its stated maximum. TCO_CALC.md 9.1 proposes Ultimate for 6 to 10 encoders (to confirm with Product).
No annual plan prices in the data; the annual base is derived from the 16.7% annual discount (Starter 999.60, not the spec's 1,000).
The data states no enterprise threshold. Above the largest plan's encoder maximum the result is a custom plan (quote only).

Conversion to EURNot converted: reference/fx_rates.json has no ECB reference rate dated 2026-10-26 for USD (newest: 2026-10-22); the scenario's policy is: ECB daily rate on the as_of date; never a placeholder

Sensitivity

Second destination Destinations: 1 → 2 + RON 6,439.76from $1,350.00 Changes: Core Starter: data overage

Flags and assumptions

Bonding overheadNo bonding overhead in the scenario; cellular GB assume none.

Hours per week are fleet streaming hours, summed over encoders (TCO_CALC.md 9.3).

Core egress counts once per destination (TCO_CALC.md 9.4, to be confirmed by the MRD).

Lines and subtotals stay in their observed currency; the total is converted to the scenario's currency only at ECB reference rates dated as_of, never a placeholder, else conversion is open.

Monthly subscriptions bill whole months and annual billing bills whole years over the horizon.

Prices are used as observed, with their VAT flag; nothing is added or removed for VAT.
