An exit plan requires portable workflows, compatible evaluation criteria and tested data boundaries.

Original educational and operational guidance. This article does not establish a real customer incident, vendor event, executed intervention or independently measured performance.

Three operational decisions

  1. List provider-specific features, credentials, data destinations and fallback limits.
  2. Exercise adapter changes on a nonproduction workload.
  3. Log measured differences in quality, latency, cost and permission boundaries.
A defined capability is not an executed action. Execution is not independent evidence of customer value.
