* About that monthly figure
It is an estimate at the scale one student reaches, not a quote. Before anything goes live, week three sets a ceiling:
- A hard spending cap on every provider account, set before the project goes live.
- A billing alert at half the cap, so nothing is a surprise.
- Free tiers first: every project in this list is designed to sit inside one at student scale.
- A kill switch: how to take the project offline in one step if the numbers move.
