What this changes for UK buyers
Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise are named for the first eligible-market rollout, but Dots-specific UK entitlement, universal limits and a separate rate card are not publicly established.
What buyers should do
Pilot one least-privilege read-only routine for two weeks; verify approvals, auto-review, logs, stop, recovery and complete cost before enabling consequential actions.
