What each vendor's terms say about commercial use

Where a grid built around plans stops working

This register was built around a plan table because that is where the first vendors read put their answers. Ten of the seventeen rows now answer with something else, and the grid has to carry a sentence where a figure was expected. As of 2026-09-12.

A column heading as a bet about an industryChoosing which plan grants commercial use assumed vendors answer with plans. Seven rows do. Five answer with a sentence, a condition, a claim or a mechanism, and two of those are stronger than a figure.What each kind of answer supplies to a readerOnly a plan answerGivesa figure, a card to buy, an order ofpreferenceBoth listsBoth givesomething to quote, with a dateOnly everything elseGivesa mechanism, a condition upstream ofprice, stability across renamesRows answering in different units cannot be ranked by the register

Inclusion rule. Rows whose published answer to the crossing-point question is not a plan, a tier or a price, grouped by the shape of the answer. Order. From the clearest grant to the absence of any statement.

1A column is a bet about how an industry writes

Choosing which plan grants commercial use as a heading was a bet that vendors answer with plans. For seven rows that bet paid off exactly. For the other ten it did not, and the honest response is to record the shape rather than force a figure into the cell.

The alternative would be a tidier grid that quietly excluded every vendor whose position does not have a price. That would make the register look more complete and cover less of the market.

2Two of the five are stronger than a plan, not weaker

A vendor stating that there is nothing to purchase has answered a question about its whole catalogue. A vendor conditioning a grant on inputs has put the condition where the risk actually sits.

Neither is comparable with a figure, and both are easier to rely on than a sentence attached to a plan list that can be reorganised without anybody editing the clause. Five of the ten state a position with no tier, three publish weights, and two publish nothing.

3What the register does instead of a ranking

It records the mechanism, names the document and prints the date. A reader who needs an order of preference has to supply their own criteria, because these rows are answering in different units from the seven that name a plan.

That is a limitation worth stating plainly. A grid is a map of where the sentences are, and on five rows the sentence is not a number.

4What the output is for

Alongside the terms behind “Where the grid stops”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:

A dish photo is cleaned into a product shot and the ad is built around it.

On the end card, yes, along with the product name, the tagline and the call to action, in the language of the ad.
