Keep the distinction clear: Pathway is both a frontier AI lab and the publisher of the Live Data Framework, and the two must not be presented as one product. Preserve these limitations and costs: the 29.5%, 97.4% and $0.00070 figures are vendor-reported with no independent replication in the evidence; BDH access, licensing and customer pricing are unknown; the framework is self-hosted, so compute, storage and staff costs fall on the buyer; enterprise license fees are undisclosed and not free; free tiers are capped and offer only at-least-once consistency; AWS Marketplace hosting is a $15,000 annual commitment.
