body: The case `Sourced from AuraDB` comes in two variants: BC and VDC. These are customer engagement levels; self-serve vs enterprise. They also come with different maximum size and some other differences. VDC is bigger.

The other two cases have a similar dimension. It is possible to run as a self-serve user or as an enterprise user. The same limits as above will apply. Again, this is a customer engagement difference. Not entirely sure how to add this dimension here -- I'm losing the larger picture with my patchwork of suggestions.

body: OK I have an idea. We could have a couple of paragraphs under `Graph Analytics Serverless` before the three subsections. In those paragraphs we explain the `tier` difference (maybe using a more modern term than `tier`) which is an upfront decision made by the customer; they're either a BC customer (self-serve) or a VDC customer (enterprise/sales-led).
We can probably copy or reference documentation for AuraDB that explains this difference.
