Rulings
4 questions resolved against the text.
Which tier applies?
Root. Educational institution, teaching or research use. Below $20,000,000 in trailing revenue, or within an exempt category, no Canopy royalty applies. Sections 4, 6, 8, and 10 still bind every Licensee.
Sections 1.7, 2.1, 2.2
Is anything owed?
Nothing. No fee, no report, no filing.
Sections 2.1
Does this count as Production Use?
Yes. Charging for the Work itself or a lightly modified substitute. Section 1.9 covers internal operation at operating scope and systems made available externally to customers or the public. Development, testing, evaluation, research, and personal non-revenue use remain outside it.
Sections 1.9
Is this a Competing Offering?
Yes if the value derives entirely or substantially from the Work itself. Section 4 applies to every Licensee, including Root. A larger independent product remains allowed, but selling, porting, repackaging, hosting, or redistributing the Work as the product requires a separate written agreement.
Sections 1.13, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3
Cautions
What this situation gets wrong most often.
Revenue is measured across entities under common control, per Section 1.4. A parent company above the threshold makes its subsidiary a Canopy Licensee regardless of that subsidiary's own turnover.

Other situations for this party.
Non-normative. Where this and the licence text disagree, the licence text applies.
