Buying guides for people who have to make the decision.
These are the guides we would want if we were on the other side of the table: what actually drives cost, how long things really take, how platforms differ in practice, and how to move data without losing the trust of the people who have to use it. No fixed prices we cannot substantiate, and no forced winners in comparisons.
