Why this matters in 2026
Comparisons teams lose time when provider work is reactive. Under strict compliance constraints, ad-hoc execution creates rework and weak signal quality.
Standardizing around migration switching costs reduces that waste for agency delivery leads. You still move fast—but through controlled cycles instead of permanent firefighting.

no unverified ranking claimsand prove it with a sample artifact tied to 2026 LLM provider contrasts Practical Workbook for Startups. - Run one cycle focused on migration switching costs.
- Publish + link to hub/siblings.

Decision clarity score >= 62/100 |
| 5 | Ship one improvement on provider | same rubric for every option |
