What the money looks like

The line items built on the specification gap shrink toward zero. The audit engagement whose job was checking that code implements intent has no object here, and the launch timeline it gated, weeks of booking lead time plus rush premiums, goes with it. The residual spend is the worthwhile kind: thinking about whether the rules are right. And the risk premium falls with the loss category: institutions price exploit probability into their cost of capital and into what they will insure, and an architecture that removes a loss category changes that number, which is the number that decides whether they show up at all.
