The stories this publication follows across weeks. One is researched at its sources every day, and each is held to the question that would settle it.
Does "software factory" become a category more than one seller prices and measures - a second vendor publishing a factory price, or a cost per merged PR with its method - or does it stay one vendor's positioning word?

Open weights have won the token volume on the gateways - will they also win the spend and the enterprise default, or stay the cheap tier that devtools vendors resell beneath closed models' margin?
When a one-product devtools company becomes a suite, does the new product ride the existing plan and invoice or get its own price line - and does any devtools suite publish a bundle price below the sum of its parts?
