Think of your Fabric Capacity like a Train. 

Licensing is the #1 confusion point I see with Microsoft Fabric.

You bought a capacity, but your team still gets "Upgrade to Pro" prompts. 

Why?

It helps to visualise it like a Commuter Rail System:

🎫 The Small Train (F2 - F32): Everyone needs an individual ticket (Pro License) to board and look out the window (view reports). It doesn't matter if you own the train; the passengers still need to pay.

🚄 The High-Speed Rail (F64+): This train is so large that the "Venue" subsidises the cost. Standard Pass holders (Free Users) can ride for free just to look out the windows. This is the "F64 Magic Number."

👮 The Conductor Rule: Regardless of the train size, you always need a special license (Pro) to actually drive the train or manage the passengers (share content/workspaces).

I created this cheat sheet to break down the 3 building blocks of Fabric licensing:

1. Capacity (The Engine): Your computing power.
2. Per-User (The Driver): The Pro/PPU seats.
3. The F64 Rule: When free users can finally see content.

Save this image. It will save you from overpaying for Pro licenses you might not need.

I help Entrepreneurs build their brands offline and online through story-led marketing. Fractional CMO

I only work with founders who are done being the best-kept secret.

Third-culture kid. 51+ countries. Boardrooms on 6 continents.
I’ve watched world-class leaders with $10M+ businesses get overlooked- not because they lacked credibility, but because their story never caught up with their success.

That’s the invisible gap I close.

After 12+ years in marketing, brand strategy, and communications, I founded Magnetique Marketing, a consultancy and coaching hub for founders who want to turn credibility into currency and stories into strategy.

Because visibility isn’t vanity.
It’s strategy, legacy, and leverage.

My work lives at the intersection of storytelling, psychology, and positioning,  helping leaders design visibility systems that scale their reputation, reach, and revenue.

There are two ways I help founders do it:

The Visibility Atelier™: Done-For-You
For founders who want it built for them, not taught to them.
Inside the Atelier, my team and I become your private visibility architects, designing and executing the entire system that amplifies your authority.

We craft:
- Executive brand positioning.
- Thought-leadership content and storytelling systems.
- Done-for-you LinkedIn transformation.
- Media placements through my private journalist network.

It’s not about noise. It’s about presence.
You focus on leading, we make sure the world sees it.

The Visibility Architect™: Coaching
For founders and organizations who want to master visibility themselves and monetize their own story.

This coaching experience helps you:
- Build narrative equity that drives trust and revenue.
- Create content that feels human yet strategic.
- Turn lived experience into thought leadership that scales.

Because when your story changes form, not meaning, it becomes recognizable.
Repeatable.
Remembered.

Both paths lead to the same destination:
Authority that compounds. Visibility that endures. A story that pays dividends.

I believe visibility is the new reputation.
And the founders who learn to tell their story with precision, depth, and humanity,  will own the next decade of influence.

If you’re ready to stop blending in with brilliance and start being remembered for it let’s build the story the market can’t ignore.
