Why The Standup Turns Dependency Monitoring Into a $1,800 Agency Deliverable

The Standup's free tier already includes the daily 07:40 digest, the full searchable archive, and every release, advisory and outage, so the software itself is not the product an agency sells. The margin sits in the $1,800 Stack Audit: mapping a client's vendors into a tracked list, filtering the digest to what matters, and translating patch-or-pin alerts into plain-language action items. Agencies that treat it as managed oversight rather than a feature upgrade convert a $5 Membership into a recurring advisory line.
