internal-platform-strips-40pct-saas-architecture

When a BI platform is internal-only (not a product), eliminate ~40% of typical SaaS complexity: no billing/Stripe, no multi-tenancy, no marketing site, no trial flows, no public sharing/embedding, no mobile app in v1. Recognizing the internal-platform pattern early prevents over-engineering. For Runwal Vantage specifically: internal seats rollout (10→50→500 users), CTO as economic buyer, mandate-driven adoption — not a commercial product.
