Diagram titled 'The meter is the business.' A single amber line charts Harvey's reported gross margin across 2026: about +50% early in the year, about -50% by June as agent usage spiked on rented frontier models, and back positive after August when Harvey Tenet, its in-house open-weight model, shipped. Beside the chart, a tile reads 'about 1T to 12-13T tokens per month, Jan to May 2026.' Three cards below cover concentration risk (enterprise about 80% of Anthropic revenue; top 1% of customers about 80% of enterprise revenue), open weights as COGS strategy (Harvey, Abridge, Decagon, Ramp, Thomson Reuters), and the hybrid stack (frontier models kept for the hardest tasks). Footer reads 'Rented intelligence has unit economics' and objectedge.com.
