Section F. Dependent offerings

2 listed offerings build on this package

From the marketplace's dependent products view. A provider that inherits controls from a package below it carries a narrower assessment boundary of its own, which is one of the larger levers on authorization cost.

Inheritance is why boundary scope moves a budget more than headcount does. The hidden costs page sets out where scope creeps back in.
