Designing for Revenue: Why Monetisation Starts at Concept Stage

– Boundary points.
– Supplier arrangements.

If you want flexibility value, local supply income, or long term resilience, you design for it upfront.

You cannot bolt it on later.

What commercial assumption are you making today that regulation might challenge tomorrow?
