> "200,000 credits at $0.03 per credit with a 15% volume discount, plus 10 seats, plus a base platform fee, with credit rollover into Q2" — that sentence cannot exist in most billing systems.
I used to work on GCP billing and this is so entirely correct and disgustingly hard to get right. The worst part is that even if you implement a way for sales to create these custom contracts down to a T, you're going to get an escalated customer ticket that hits the engineering team because the bill didn't end up how they think it should have so it's assumed to be a bug. You'll confirm this rube goldberg machine of billing state in their contract was in fact correctly implemented and that maybe they didn't negotiate what they thought they did with sales.
