A year ago, growth was the top driver of AI commercial strategy in every market we surveyed.
In 2026, margin protection leads at 35% — ahead of customer pressure, speed to market, and competitive parity.
The tone of the conversation changed. The data caught up.

Seat-based pricing: count the logins.
Usage-based pricing: track millions of interactions per user.
Most companies never built the system for that. That's the predictability problem.

Andrea De Franceschi from Strategy& joins the UsageMoments Podcast Thursday to break down how.
