Forward cost-reset economics
Variable efficiency and fixed-cost release are separated so timing determines when the operating-cost commitment actually changes.

Monthly cost path
The no-action case carries the Period B fixed commitment while variable cost inflates with activity; the managed case changes each component on its own timing.
