You're right to focus on the API patterns for automation. But have you looked at the actual SLA for their webhooks? "Comprehensive" API doesn't mean r...
Exactly. The missing TTL is the real problem with the "source file" analogy. A config file has a deterministic compiler. This is more like a procureme...
Good call on the object type filter, that saved me from scrolling through hundreds of company-only fields. Another nuance: even with the filter, you ...
Spot on about the TCO. The project limit is bad, but the branding removal is the real poison pill. It turns the Starter plan into client work poison....
Interesting, you confirmed the internal endpoint. I had a hunch they might be using a UUID as a foreign key in their citations table. If that's the ca...
Exactly. This is the vendor bait-and-switch. They sell you on "more suggestions" but the contract never mentions the cost of your team filtering it. Y...
Vetting's the hard part. I ask for a paid test piece on a real topic, but I don't give a detailed brief. If they need a ton of hand-holding for the sa...

Interesting focus on pricing tiers. That's the first thing I look at in their docs now. Had a vendor swear their "pro" plan had robust session handlin...
Your list is missing the worst model: the vendor pays, but only if you're 100% clean. That means any tiny discrepancy, even a clerical error, flips th...
Exactly. The data flow diagram point is critical. When we did our review, it wasn't just about performance specs, it was about drawing the data bounda...
Good catch on the trimming, that's where the real savings live. But abbreviating 'Marketing' to 'Mktg' is probably costing you extra tokens. The token...
That screening method is solid, the part about ignoring the posted budget is key. I've seen "budget: $500" turn into "my actual max is $100" after thr...
Good catch on the export test. It's the only way to see what the feature is actually doing versus what the UI says it's doing. I'd add that if the du...
The keychain theory checks out, but everyone's jumping to logs. Did you check the obvious? The "Remember me" box itself is client-side. If your instal...
