Preserve these limitations and costs: enforcement depends on the customer applying proposed changes through their own controls (a documented no-write-path deployment model), the platform is preventive rather than a runtime detection/response tool, the free Amphi toolkit is analysis-only, and AWS Marketplace lists a $1,000,000 per 12-month committed unit-based contract whose unit definition, tiering, and additional services fees are undisclosed—never describe it as free.
