This is the Change Tax.
The Change Tax is the hidden cost of turning every commercial move into a technical project — slow, expensive, risky and vendor-dependent. You pay it in margin, in speed, and in the offers you never launched.

We paid the Change Tax ourselves. Then we built our way out of it.
We ran an operator on the same legacy BSS/OSS stack everyone else runs on — and paid the Change Tax every quarter: the tickets, the workarounds, the offers stuck behind a vendor roadmap. So we rebuilt the stack ourselves — until we stopped paying it. That platform became Seamless OS.
