    <summary type="text">Tightened after a test reading of the opportunity pages on 13 October 2026 (an AI stand-in run of the founder test, not an outside reader) found that the page did not show the procurement data exist in a usable form, the first thing a supervisor would ask. The data section now says what the open records contain (machine-readable notices from Contracts Finder and Find a Tender; G-Cloud sales with supplier and customer names, currency to be checked) and what they lack (the hosting provider behind a reseller), and the design now starts with a sample check of how often the provider can be identified, with freedom-of-information requests as the fallback. The question, the literature check and the verdict are unchanged.</summary>

    <summary type="text">When UK public-sector cloud contracts came up for renewal before and after the 2024 egress-fee waivers and the CMA cloud investigation, how often did buyers move workloads to a different provider or add a second one, and did switching differ for workloads tied to Microsoft software licensing?</summary>
