A one-page worksheet to run the managed-vs-self-hosted break-even for your own catalog: enter catalog-hours and ladder depth, multiply to output-hours, apply the per-output-minute managed rate (E), estimate self-hosted machine-hours on spot plus ops (H), take the lower, and clear the pre-flight checks (output-not-input, demand routing, spot resilience, re-encode and live budgeted apart).
