What has to be true before you buy
- 01The friction is genuinely at operations and data. Buying at the wrong stage moves the bottleneck, it does not remove it.
- 02Ownership varies by company. Data or Legal 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.
- 04L2 Assisted on the six-level AI Maturity Ladder. AI drafts, a human approves, the workflow stays the same. This is the effort required for the workflow, not a product quality score.
- 05The vendor does not publish pricing. Ask for the billable unit, the overage rate, and the cap in writing before you sign.
- 06We found no published case study for this tool, which does not prove none exists. Treat every number on the vendor site as a claim until you run your own baseline.
