Is Runway worth running as a client service?

Runway's GWM Worlds 2 is a technically demanding research preview with published vendor pricing starting at $15/month and a time-to-value measured in weeks. It can support a managed interactive-world service for technical agencies, but fidelity limits, high setup complexity, and the absence of white-label or agency management features leave client pricing, margins, and retention unproven.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
