Praesto keeps every sentence, so a circled word on the slide is enough. Each note is pinned to its minute.

So finals start from your own notes, not a pile of recordings.

Pipelines and platformsWHERE THE COST SITS1. PIPELINE•A firm makes the product and sells it.•It pays to produce every unit.•Value moves one way, from maker to buyer.•Growing means producing more.2. PLATFORM•Connects makers with users.•Value comes from the match.•Rules and trust keep it working.•Growing means more matches.3. WHAT TO ASKWho pays to make what is traded, and who pays to keep the trade working?Platform does notbeat cost ofproductionAaMarker Felt18 pt100%PLATFORM STRATEGYGeneralExplain my note: Platform does not beat cost ofproduction.16:21:36Your note means aplatform captures and coordinatesvalue without usually paying the production costofwhat is being exchanged.•Production costs: the cost of making or supplyingthe thing itself, like a driver's time and car, or aseller's goods.•Platform costs: the cost of enabling the interaction:matching, curation, rules and trust.•In the lecture: a platform does not carry the cost ofproduction, but it does carry the cost of curation.•One small wording fix: your note says “does notbeatcost of production,” but from the transcript theintended phrase was almost certainly “does notbear the cost of production.”The lecturer also added a nuance: sometimes platformsdo move into productionwhen they want to securesupply.

Every class and meeting in one place.

Ask across all of them. The answer names the sessions it came from.
