how supplier payouts work in data licensing

payout_flow:
  license_signed    -> terms fix scope, rights, price basis
  dataset_approved  -> supplier signs off on what ships
  delivery_complete -> buyer receives the agreed scope
  payout_triggered  -> per agreed terms
  repeat            -> same supplier, same buyer, next dataset

pin this down before you sign

• what triggers a payment (license, delivery, usage, or a mix)
• what happens if the buyer wants a bigger scope later
• who handles the paperwork and who holds the relationship
