Cost forecast — project a future month
Scales the per-active-user run rate (– / user / month, from live data) to a user count you set. In August, set the users you expect in September to read the projected bill.
Real users often use the app less than hands-on testers. Below 1.0 = lighter; above = heavier.

Fixed monthly costs (flat, don't scale with users)
Platform/subscription costs that stay flat no matter how many users you have. Editable. Per-user uses the forecast user count above. If a provider is usage-based and already counted above, only put a fixed floor or commitment here.

Margin model — usage cap & in-app top-up
Live data (testers, costs, adoption) comes from /api/telemetry/summary. Forecast, fixed costs, and the margin model are computed in your browser from that live run rate plus the inputs you set. Nothing here is saved server-side.
