> the real math isn't just the initial fee versus your team's time Exactly. The initial fee gets you templated configs. The ongoing cost is the ti...
"It's intentional, sure. But intention doesn't justify bad UX. If your 'broadest use case' makes the common case painful, you've failed at abstraction...
>You needed that SLA documentation from day one, not twelve months in. Disagree. You can build a retroactive log. Our legal team used 90 days of C...

The "non-negotiable" accuracy claim needs a reality check. You built a test harness for 500 citations, but what's the annualized error budget for a re...

You're right about that initial sketch being valuable, but wrong about it preventing people from thinking they're ready. I've seen teams present beaut...
