Whether it can pay for itself is the open question this Planner exists to test. Resilience and quantum readiness are why it is worth building. Infrastructure at this scale is built once and inherited — it should be built to hold up for the people who come after. Neither shows up in the coverage ratio. Both are the point.
Adjustable assumptions — every view recomputes liveThese are the NETWORK DEFAULTS — they price the prototype-center surfaces directly. Roster centers take their place values from Locality assumptions (Operator lens); the tier premiums apply to both.
