comparison
Platform delivery models compared
Compare custom build, licensed platform, and modular integration models using control, evidence, operating, switching, and delivery criteria.
Read the evidenceCompare
Make trade-offs visible before ranking options.
GEN comparisons begin with the buyer scenario and evidence criteria, not a universal “best” list.
How to use a comparison
A comparison is useful only when the decision is bounded.
Start with the operating decision, then hold every option to the same scope, evidence, responsibility, and exit questions. A category label alone does not establish fit.
Frame the buyer scenario
Name the decision before the options.
Record the product, jurisdiction, participant role, required capabilities, operating owner, and non-negotiable constraints before comparing delivery models or suppliers.
Make evidence comparable
Ask every option for the same proof.
Compare boundaries, responsibilities, integrations, testing, service levels, data controls, commercial assumptions, change process, and exit support on one consistent evidence date.
Preserve the rejection case
Read the “not a fit” test.
A useful record shows exclusions, unknowns, dependencies, and failure conditions. GEN does not turn a paid relationship or unsupported claim into a ranking signal.
