Fix price elasticity and inference utilization bugs

Price elasticity: subscribers ignored price entirely — a $50k/month
subscription still grew. Replaced naive price/100 formula with a fair
price model (based on model quality). Overpriced subscriptions now kill
growth and drive churn at 3x the overprice ratio.

Inference utilization: was always pinned at 100% because organic API
token demand (10M base) and per-subscriber demand (100 tokens/tick)
massively exceeded any realistic compute capacity. Reduced to 500 base
organic tokens and 0.5 per subscriber so scaling compute meaningfully
reduces utilization.
