Who counts the value a platform creates
→
A shared platform carries its cost in one budget and delivers its value into other people's numbers. Deciding who books that benefit, before anything ships, is the whole argument.

Engineering wants to rebuild it, risk wants a control, security wants the dependency gone, the business wants what was promised. Scoring frameworks do not help, because you choose the weights.
