Model Concentration Risk Gets Priced
Projection: Boards, lenders, insurers, and regulators will treat dependence on one model provider as a measurable concentration exposure, priced through covenants, premiums, and procurement limits. Portability drills supply evidence, but the mechanism is financial risk allocation, not orchestration. Adoption appears when vendor concentration changes financing or insurance terms.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
The cited captures establish investment concentration and application-layer differentiation. They do not establish financial pricing of model-provider concentration; the adoption test is whether dependency changes covenants, premiums, procurement limits, or financing terms.
