Is WorldFixture worth running as a client service?

WorldFixture is an open-source tool with no published vendor pricing, so the agency's cost basis is labor and infrastructure, not licensing. The evidence supports its use for deterministic integration testing with Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Stripe, and S3, but agency pricing, margins, and ROI cannot be modeled without client price, labor, usage, overhead, and volume inputs.

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