What to watch for
- Data residency: your data processed outside the EU, on the vendor's terms
- Who builds: the plan is handed to a different team, or another vendor, to build
- Proof: slide decks and pilots that stall before any real work
- Tooling: built on a platform they resell, not the tools you already own
- Pricing: scoped to a Fortune 500 budget rather than your return
- After launch: handed over with no owner, so adoption fades
