I know this is not relevant to the thread, but could I pick your brain on this model? I'm looking at launching a product soon and I've been struggling with how I might monetize it in a sane manner that works for customers and for the business.

Here's a tip: when you want to ask somebody a question just ask the question. Do not ask if you can ask a question because you waste everybody's time
To be fair, I did ask a question. The question.
Really, that was your question? I think I can see how you got into a position where you are launching a new product soon and you don't know how you're going to monetize it
Sometimes a conversation is easier than a brain dump in a text only space. Which is why I said 'can I pick your brain' rather than write a massive wall of text of things I've considered, research I've done, product/market fit, etc.
You could do something in between like ask a specific question which is what my original comment was about
