ADR — Billing handover for infra accounts

TL;DR

All infra (Vercel, VPS, Supabase, R2, Resend, domain) is billed to mg's personal credit card. Decide whether and how to transfer ownership or pass-through bill these to Aksara Karir.

Context

• Client has no PT/CV legal entity — payment gateway and many B2B billing options are blocked.
• Personal CC dependency means: if mg withdraws, client's LMS dies; if mg's card declines, prod outage.
• Some providers (Vercel, Supabase) support team transfers; R2 + VPS + domain transferable but require client account creation.

Options

Option A — Status quo

• Keep accounts on mg, expense via Lumen Dev.
• Pros: zero client friction.
• Cons: continued personal risk, no SLA story credible without it.

Option B — Pass-through billing (recommended near-term)

• Keep accounts on mg, but charge infra at cost + 15% admin monthly to client.
• Itemized statement; client sees true cost.
• Pros: removes subsidy without forcing them to set up vendor accounts.
• Cons: still requires personal CC.

Option C — Transfer ownership

• Aksara creates Vercel/Supabase/Cloudflare accounts; we co-administer.
• Pros: no personal exposure long-term.
• Cons: client needs legal entity for some providers (Cloudflare for-business, Vercel team), and operational maturity to manage billing.

Decision

Pending. Recommendation: B now, C as Aksara incorporates.

Consequences

• Need monthly itemized statement template.
• Need MSA / billing addendum to existing engagement letter (or create one if none exists).

Alternatives Considered

• Lumen as billing intermediary using a Lumen company card — same effect as B, requires Lumen to have a card with sufficient credit limit.
