Value beyond price
The cost of choosing well—or badly
Time to useful output
A cheaper tool is not cheaper if the team spends hours correcting, exporting, or rebuilding its work.
Workflow fit
The best choice usually fits the tools, hand-offs, and review habits your team already has.
Risk and oversight
Privacy, reliability, and the amount of human checking belong in the decision—not in the footnotes.
Scenario evidence
