Seat Management Model

PermitLens is sold to contractor teams, not to isolated individual users.

Core billing assumptions

• One organization owns the subscription.
• One active subscription represents the product plan.
• Stripe quantity represents paid seats.
• Invites and active memberships should not exceed paid seat count.

Why this matters

Permit work is shared by design.

Permit status, reworks, inspections, and connector triage are not one-person jobs. The access model has to reflect the way a contractor office actually operates or the billing model will fight the workflow.

What this avoids

• Charging teams more just because a portal emits more records
• Pretending every user is an independent buyer
• Letting invites and active access drift away from what was actually purchased
