01 / VERDICT

Caution

Frequent recent tightening — high constraint volatility right now.

WHY CAUTION — trend: tightening · drift -14% over 90d · 1 tightening in 90d

Constraint Stability

86/100

higher = fewer recent restrictions

tightening-14% / 90d

Runway has become more restrictive over time, mainly in model availability.

Most noticeable: Users lose unlimited slow-lane drafting; every generation now costs credits (though Max gives ~4x more credits than Unlimited's 2,250)
