Comment by eviks 7 months ago There are other numbers besides 1 and infinity, though 5 comments eviks Reply khuey 7 months ago I believe the reason to use 1 year comes from the customer's side: prepayments of services that extend past 1 year have to be capitalized for tax purposes, whereas prepayments of services for 1 year or less can be expensed immediately. muzani 7 months ago Tracking "revenue" past one financial year is its own accounting hell. mrbungie 7 months ago Customers pay Anthropic, in part, so they can figure that one out. OutOfHere 7 months ago It is not actually revenue until it has been spent by the customer. Until then it's just customer funds. eviks 7 months ago No, that's just accounting
