This is really great thanks, Jamie. I've dropped a few comments and suggestions throughout and they are mostly all relevant to all 4 examples rather than me repeating myself 4 times 🙂

I really found these pages confusing when I first read them. The summary costs table at the top has numbers and calculations that have no obvious relationship to the assumptions. Obviously when you scroll down it's clear where the numbers come from, but some hint upfront would help.
| ### Cost summary | ||
| The high-level cost breakdown for this scenario. Messages are billed for both inbound (published to Ably) and outbound (delivered to subscribers) – a single message to 100 subscribers generates 101 billable messages. | ||

The dollar results in this table are rounded to integer dollars so they look wrong. Eg 1.5 x $1 = $2. They shouldn't be rounded

Made several fixes to the pricing examples based on feedback. - Updated the intro texts to be tied more closely to the technical use case (eg data broadcast) vs the specific use case (eg live sports betting) - Added "pricing example" to all titles - Updated titles to use ## instead of ### - Ensured all messaging is in the second person perspective. - Added a message breakdown to the data broadcast example - Added some additional text to the "further reading section" to ensure bullets load correctly. - Added some bridge text between Assumption & the Cost Summary to make the Cost Summary more clear on where the figures come from. - Other minor amendments such as correcting rounding.

Updated the formatting in the docs for the pricing examples: - Now use full numbers (e.g. 2,000,00 instead of 2M) - Added links to the numbers in the connecting block of text between "Assumptions" and "Cost summary" - Improved markdown formatting for readability - Updated "See plans" links to /docs/platform/pricing
