| 2 | How much of the solution is proven before you start? | Built from scratch | Some templates | Most of it, with references |
| 3 | Who runs it after go-live? | You, alone | Support on request | They run it with you, with set hyper-care |
| 4 | What do you pay for? | Seats, used or not | Modules | What you deploy, after a proof |
| 5 | How much of the data is tested? | Samples | High-risk areas | Every transaction, every day |
| 6 | Where does your data go? | Their shared cloud | A dedicated tenant | Within your approved boundary |
| 7 | Who decides, and do you become more capable over time? | The tool, or the vendor | Your people, with little hand-over | Your people, with training and hand-over |
