Implement the same tagging mechanism that is used for "Clients/Locations/People" for Assets.
This idea comes from if an asset is "managed" or not or were just aware of it.
Active = Managed 100%, applies updates, configuration, ect from the monthly fee on their contract.
Passive = Aware of the equipment. Only manages/makes changes with authorization from client that is billable.
None = Aware of the equipment but a 3rd party manages.
Thanks, from the guy who always request new ways to use tags.
