Substitute business assumptions across public docs Reconciles mbp commit 424c516 onto current main. Migrates hardcoded Stripe fees, policy commitments (buyer-access/shutdown/price-change notice windows, grandfather + cancellation-grace periods, content-archive + generative-AI notice), uptime target, broadcast caps, discount percentages, and Fan+ pricing across the public docs to {{ … }} markers resolved from assumptions.toml. Adds [policy], [uptime], [broadcasts], [fan_plus], and nested [stripe.instant_payout] toml sections, plus derived stripe_fee_on_N / stripe_keep_on_N (N in {1,2,5,10,25,50}, pre-rounded to whole cents) and annual_discount_pct / founder_discount_pct. Two new docengine tests pin every stripe_fee/keep value and both discount pcts against the rendered strings. Merged with the Refined-A work already on main: the new stripe-fee and discount tests sit alongside the parametric annual-price test; the fee/keep and discount values are sale-price/ratio based, so they stay stable under the Refined-A tier reset. All markers resolve (site-docs CI guard green); docengine assumptions tests 31/31.

We deliberately put founder pricing in front of standard pricing because we want real signup data, real tier-mix data, and real support-load data to set the post-founder number rather than guessing. The standard rate may end up lower than the targets below, the same, or higher. If it rises, the change comes with the notice and grandfathering described in [Guarantees](./guarantees.md), and our founders are below it either way.
