Share confidence labels, source grading, and answer templates.
What has actually worked (or failed) for your team? Specific examples, pricing traps, or vendor claims that did not hold up are especially useful.

If you are non-technical, demand a sandbox with sample data and a 30-minute setup path. Anything that needs a solutions engineer for the first win will stall on a small team.

The vendor demo is not the product. Ask to see the same workflow run on your data, not their sample data. That is where connector gaps and permission issues show up.
