Revision Load Ceiling

Every AI website builder collapses the first draft to minutes, which moves the real cost of an agency engagement into revisions. The Revision Load Ceiling is the number of client revision rounds a fixed-fee build can absorb before gross margin on that retainer drops below the agency's floor. Two rounds at a $2,500 build price is a different business than six rounds at the same price, even though both start from the same generated draft. Platforms with white-label dashboards and client billing built in, such as Lindo or Dorik, let an agency meter rounds and bill overages instead of eating them. Duda and Kopage push the same lever through reseller controls. The framework forces a pre-sale question: what is the maximum revision count this scope supports, and what happens at round four? Without that ceiling written into the statement of work, generation speed simply front-loads the loss.
