How to compare options
Use these criteria to score your current alternatives before route-by-route review.
Current-state mapping
Map where each operational function currently lives before evaluating a replacement path.
If your team currently moves data manually between systems, compare how many manual handoffs remain versus what one continuity model removes.
Fit against buying model
Choose the route that aligns with your committee's expected validation sequence.
Most buying teams need segment context, role clarity, and linked proof. Choose the flow that yields each in one place.
Outcome measurability
Evaluate whether the model gives measurable first-week outcomes and recurring evidence.
Prefer options that surface route-level outcomes by function, then tie them to benchmark and case evidence before procurement.
Operational confidence
Compare readiness signals, not just roadmap claims.
Look for explicit platform, solution, and persona continuity paths that keep ownership and failure handling coherent.
