- 02Ownership varies by company. Customer Support or Customer Success can own this. Whoever it is owns the outcome, not just the licence. Unowned tools are adopted for a quarter and then quietly turned off.
- 03A human still signs off on the output. Write down who that is and what they are allowed to reject before rollout.
- 04L4 Orchestrated on the six-level AI Maturity Ladder. Multi-step work runs end to end, with a named owner and a measured result. This is the effort required for the workflow, not a product quality score.
- 05Pricing model on record: $$. Confirm the billable unit and what happens when volume doubles.
- 06We found a minimum of 1 published case study for this tool. There may be more we have not found. Read the sample size and the baseline before you quote any number.
