Good will does not feel like a good way to scale this. For a business that might be ok, but I’m highly unlikely to recommend to a business something I haven’t personally investigated, and I’m not writing cheques whose value is dependent on the good will of a startup.

I don’t understand why cloud providers will not accommodate this basic “prepay to X and allow me to use the credit” model.
