What has to be true before you buy

01The friction is genuinely at demand generation. Buying at the wrong stage moves the bottleneck, it does not remove it.
02Marketing owns this in most companies. Name the person, not the team, before you buy. 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.
04Adoption level 3 of 5. Level 1 is one tool and no workflow change. Level 5 is an agent running the work with a human auditing it.
05Pricing model on record: Free restricted + $89/mo Essential tier.. Confirm the billable unit and what happens when volume doubles.
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.
